The Hazardous Goods Logistics Market Size is valued at 210.82 Billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 376.87 Billion by the year 2031 at a 6.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
The market for hazardous goods logistics is expanding as a result of the rising demand for hazardous waste management to protect the environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 23,700 companies and generators produced 34.9 million tonnes of hazardous waste earlier in the United States. Hazardous waste is produced in large quantities as industrialization grows. Various toxic, chemical, and combustible chemicals are included in hazardous waste. Additionally, chemically reactive components can release dangerous vapours when exposed to other components. These factors have a severe impact on the environment. Hence careful disposal is required.
Furthermore, governments in several nations have implemented strict restrictions regarding the improper handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous waste. For instance, the enormous J.R. Simplot Company in Boise was fined $775,000 in July 2020 for breaking federal hazardous waste regulations. These situations are expected to accelerate the market for hazardous product logistics and, in turn, hazardous waste management.
The Hazardous Goods Logistics market is segmented based on Service and Destination. Based on the service, the market is segmented as transportation, warehousing and distribution, and value-added services. By destination, the market is segmented into domestic and international.
Value-added services (VAS) are extra services that a business offers to its clients. A form of logistics service called value-added service works to raise the value of the shipments of products. This can involve handling in a specific way, such as packaging and labelling. High-value or delicate shipments that require particular attention are frequently shipped using value-added services. VAS can be delivered through a variety of channels, including physical stores, online marketplaces, call centres, etc., and can be either digital or physical.
In terms of revenue, the international application segment dominated the global hazardous products logistics market. The development can be linked to the rise in businesses that provide logistical services for the import and export of goods like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other goods across different nations. Additionally, expanding international trade has increased the transportation of these commodities, which has further fueled the expansion of the market as a whole.
In terms of revenue share, North America held the world market. Due to factors like a developed economy, an established infrastructure system, and a high demand for effective logistics services, the region is predicted to maintain its dominance over the projection period. Additionally, it is predicted that rising trade activity with Canada and Mexico will fuel regional growth over the forecast period. Growing exports and imports from different countries in the Asia Pacific region, together with expanding economies like China, India, and Japan, among others. This will fuel regional growth during the forecast period; the region is likelyto experience significant growth.
