Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) Market Dynamics:
The AWCS innovations and ongoing early-stage deployment of smart bins all over the world are the major drivers of market growth.

Governments and businesses are currently exploring ways of improving the collection level of various waste forms by utilizing new technology and equipment e.g. smart sensors, the Internet of Things, cloud platforms, etc. The choice to adopt solid waste collection automation is a difficult one that must take into account a variety of issues, including design, risk mitigation, technological evaluation, prices, and public understanding.

Historically, the progress of solid waste collection systems has been driven by a strong desire among solid waste managers to collect more garbage for less money while also reducing the physical strain on sanitation personnel. These are the same factors influencing the growth of the AWCS market.

Creative approaches for smart garbage collection have recently been implemented in parallel with the development and deployment of smart city technologies and platforms. Although the automated waste collection technology industry is still in its early stages, Smart Bins are currently being adopted for waste collection. Smart collecting bins with ultrasonic sensors connected to measure space are placed in various places of the city. For data collection, processing, and visualization, media access control protocols and cloud platforms are being implemented.

Increased worker safety, retention, and satisfaction is a major opportunity for market growth.

Due to severe workloads, the presence of harmful substances, and potentially dangerous or even infectious diseases, solid waste collection personnel are increasingly exposed to health and environmental safety hazards. Typical rear-load procedures need lifting items into collection trucks by hand. According to data from such initiatives, waste collection workers move more than six tons per worker every day on average. In general, the combination of massive, repeated physical lifting with an aging population results in a growing number of injured workers. A completely automated waste collection program improves worker safety and wellbeing while reducing human lifting and proximity to potential waste hazards e.g. needles and toxic gases.

Walking between setouts and numerous movements on and off the vehicle are all eliminated with fully automated waste collection. Rather than struggling through rain and extreme temperatures, crews of automated waste collection systems can spend their shifts in comfort. The diminished physical demand broadens the workforce's satisfaction and performance.

The limitations associated with proper implementation of an AWCS system are a major restraint in the market growth.

The following are the primary reasons that limit the installation of an AWCS system:

1. Expensive Configuration: The system's high capital cost is the biggest barrier to adoption.

2. Exclusive Technology and Electrical Wiring: For monitoring and management of the system, the present network-based AWCS requires a proprietary network protocol that necessitates physical wiring connections which have higher replacement costs

3. High Maintenance Costs: In a wired network, if a power outage or power disconnection problem arises, it is difficult to pinpoint the source of the problem. Moreover, not only is it difficult to solve the problem, but it also necessitates expensive maintenance and labor expenditures. Additionally, present solutions are not sophisticated enough to notify the system management of the location of the issue and network failure.

4. Unrealistic Network Expansion: Wired systems are not only difficult to establish but also difficult to extend once implemented. Also, AWCS system extension, i.e. adding a new customer to the system, will result in total system mechanical damage.
Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) Market Segment Analysis:
By Application, the residential segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period. The adoption of standardized containers for automatic collection has resulted in several obvious environmental benefits. The rolling carts are more resistant to animals, resulting in less ugly blown litter and dispersed rubbish, and they replace unsightly set-outs with a single standard container over an entire neighborhood. The carts have closed lids, which assist to minimize smells and keep water out, minimizing truck leakage and water weight at landfills. Automated yard garbage collection services also minimize the need for people to use plastic bags, which wind up in landfills, as well as limit the quality and usefulness of mulch products while providing users with a simple wheeled cart to gather trash while landscaping.

Residents perceive automated solid trash collection to be of greater quality than human collection. Wheeled carts are easier to carry and set out for most residents than cans and sacks that must be lifted. The wheeled containers are exceptionally robust, frequently lasting 10 years or more, and are easy to use because people no longer need to buy replacement garbage cans or plastic yard trimmings bags. Carts are often owned and maintained by the authority or servicing hauler.

The initial expenditures of acquiring specialized trucks and delivering carts to households are the biggest disadvantages of automated collection. The capital cost of an automated side-load vehicle is typically 20% more than that of a manual rear-load vehicle. Also, the useful life of an automated vehicle is frequently less than that of a rear-load vehicle. Cart prices range between $35 and $50 per cart, depending on container size.

Some cities have chosen to automate yard waste collection as part of their transition to automation; however, the size and volume of yard waste make cart programs unsuitable, and it typically requires separate collection with different vehicle types (claw-type trucks or rear-end load units). To properly automate yard trash collection, yard waste size limitations must be enforced, and substitute means for collecting bigger, bulk debris items must be created. Some municipalities have implemented a volume-based levy for yard trash that exceeds a predetermined limit, making the system more amenable to automation.

On collection days, the automated collection does not work in heavily populated areas with on-street parking. On-street parking, on the other hand, does not exclude a cart-based strategy for collection. In these circumstances, when carts are collected semi-automatically, a hybrid system can be used and many cart system benefits can still be obtained.
Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS) Market Regional Insights:
Various government policies have been implemented in the Indian Subcontinent to assist automated waste collection system business in particular. For instance, the government allows 100% FDI (foreign direct investment) under the automatic route for urban infrastructure areas including waste management subject to relevant rules and regulations. The government of India's tax policies is a crucial political issue that is seen to be driving market growth in the region. According to the new Union Budget 2021-22, the Government of India is prioritizing the waste management sector, and as a result, import duties on waste collection technology have been reduced.

Governments across the globe are promoting automated waste collection systems by introducing several strategies like the National green growth strategy, National sustainable development strategy, National climate change strategy, etc. to maintain their sustainable goals. For example, Cambodia- has The National Green Growth, Roadmap (2009), Malaysia has National Green Technology Policy (2009), and the Philippines has National Framework Strategy on Climate Change 2010-22 and National Climate Change Action Plan 2011-28.

Waste management in different countries is coordinated through local authorities. Waste issues are handled through recycling and converting waste to energy and resources, new technologies, and improved waste separation and collection systems. For example, the UAE aims to reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.

Dubai Municipality's Waste Management Department prepared the Dubai Integrated Waste Management Master Plan intending to reduce the amount of waste being sent to the landfills to zero in 20 years by using an integrated and innovative approach. The move also comes in line with the National Agenda to reduce the landfill by 75% by 2023, in addition to protecting the environment from methane gas emitted by the landfill.
