Electric Waste Collection Trucks Market Report 2026

The electric waste collection trucks market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.25 billion in 2025 to $0.3 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban waste volume growth, diesel emission restrictions, municipal sustainability goals, pilot electric fleet programs, advancements in electric drivetrains.

The electric waste collection trucks market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.63 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to government electrification mandates, charging infrastructure expansion, declining battery costs, smart city initiatives, demand for operational cost savings. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of zero-emission municipal fleets, growth of automated waste collection, expansion of battery electric trucks, demand for low-noise operations, integration of fleet telematics.

The increasing waste generation is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric waste collection truck market. Waste generation encompasses the production of waste materials from various human activities, including residential, industrial, and commercial processes. This increase is largely due to rising urbanization, which heightens demand for disposable products and packaging, and rapid technological advancements, resulting in more electronic waste. Electric waste collection trucks address these challenges by reducing emissions and noise, and lowering operational costs, contributing to more sustainable waste management. For example, in February 2024, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reported that municipal solid waste is projected to rise from 2.1 billion metric tons in 2023 to 3.8 billion metric tons by 2050. Consequently, the surge in waste generation is expected to propel the electric waste collection truck market.

Leading companies in the electric waste collection truck market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as all-electric commercial waste collection vehicles, to improve operational efficiency and minimize environmental impact. An all-electric commercial waste collection vehicle is a battery-powered truck designed for waste management that eliminates emissions and reduces noise while enhancing energy efficiency. For instance, in November 2023, Grundon Waste Management Ltd, a UK-based provider of integrated waste management and environmental services, introduced the UK's first all-electric waste collection vehicle, a Scania model, for zero-carbon waste collections in Reading and Newbury. This initiative includes two electric vehicles, one serving commercial clients in London and the Thames Valley from Colnbrook, and the other based in Bristol. These vehicles are powered by electricity generated from the waste they collect, utilizing Grundon's Energy from Waste (EfW) facility for sustainable operations. Additionally, Grundon is investigating alternative fuels such as hydrogen and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to further reduce its environmental impact and enhance urban air quality.

In July 2024, Terex Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of lifting and material-handling equipment, acquired Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) for $2 billion. This acquisition aims to bolster Terex's position in the electric waste collection truck market by leveraging ESG's expertise and innovations in waste collection technology. Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) is a US-based manufacturer specializing in waste management equipment, including waste collection vehicles.
