This research was carried out on the East African solid waste management market to try and accurately identify factors currently affecting this market. Three countries were analysed and these include Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.Solid waste material generated by households, businesses and commercial institutions was taken into consideration. Market sizes for each country were calculated for 2008 and forecasts determined for the period 2009 to 2015. In addition, market dynamics such as challenges, drivers and restraints were also identified.
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled East African Solid Waste Management Market provides a detailed analysis of the east African solid waste management (SWM) market with regard to its current structures, competitors, and growth potential. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following solid waste management markets: municipal solid waste, industrial solid waste, and commercial solid waste. The following east African countries are covered in this research: Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Market Overview
Rapid Urbanisation and Population Growth Boost the East African Solid Waste Management Market
A rise in population coupled with urbanisation is increasing the waste production in East Africa. Since local authorities are incapable of handling most solid waste material, it throws open opportunities for the private sector. The East African SWM market is undergoing a dynamic phase of change with the local authorities enforcing a new legislation that also involves private sector investors. 'Rapid urbanisation and higher standards of living have been the major drivers of growth in this market,' says the analyst of this research. 'Maximum solid waste is generated by high-income households in their daily activities.' The East African region is currently experiencing a growth rate of approximately 7.1 per cent per annum and about 34.5 per cent of the region’s population resides in urban areas. The urban population generates the bulk of the total solid waste material in this region.
However, the inability to collect refuse collection charges (RCCs) from households is a major obstacle to the development of this market. While the high-income areas are willing to pay for improved services, the low-income areas receive the least attention in the SWM market as most households do not have the financial means to meet even the minimum tariffs charged by local authorities. There is also a lack of understanding and prioritisation amongst people towards RCCs. 'The level of awareness on the need to pay RCCs is currently low,' explains the analyst. 'Residents prioritise other services such as water, energy, transport and healthcare.'
Despite the challenges due to non-compliance by households, the market continues to be promising. Some companies have implemented a competitive pricing structure by charging a range of tariffs to different end-user groups of waste collection services. Lower tariffs encourage low-income households to use waste management services, enabling these companies to capture the non-paying low-income areas and generate more revenues. 'Strategic partnerships between private companies and local authorities are gradually starting to emerge,' concludes the analyst. 'Such partnerships facilitate the sharing of SWM and financial responsibilities between the local authorities and private participants.'
