Smart Trash Bin Global Market Report 2025

The smart trash bin market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.64 billion in 2024 to $2.0 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as rising urbanization, an increased focus on waste management efficiency, the growing adoption of smart city initiatives, heightened environmental awareness, and a rising demand for automated solutions in both households and commercial spaces.

The smart trash bin market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing integration of IoT in waste management, a rising demand for hygienic waste disposal solutions, growing government initiatives for smart infrastructure, higher adoption in commercial and industrial sectors, and the increasing need for data-driven waste tracking systems. Key trends during this period include advancements in sensor technology, improved waste segregation capabilities, innovations in AI-driven waste management, further integration into smart city frameworks, and the development of energy-efficient designs.

The growing volume of waste is expected to drive the growth of the smart trash bins market moving forward. Waste generation refers to the production of unwanted or unusable materials resulting from daily activities, consumption, or production by individuals, households, businesses, or industries. This increase in waste is driven by rising consumerism, with higher living standards and population growth leading to more consumption and discarded packaging. Smart trash bins are essential for managing this waste, as they optimize collection efficiency by monitoring fill levels in real time, reducing overflows, lowering operational costs, and promoting cleaner environments. For example, a report published in February 2024 by the United Nations Environment Programme, a Kenya-based environmental authority, predicts that municipal solid waste will grow significantly from 2.1 billion tons in 2023 to over 3.8 billion tons by 2050. Therefore, the rising waste generation will contribute to the growth of the smart trash bins market.

Leading companies in the smart trash bins market are developing advanced products, such as AI-driven waste sorting machines, to improve sorting accuracy, reduce manual labor, and enhance recycling efficiency. These AI-powered machines use artificial intelligence, including image recognition and machine learning, to identify, classify, and separate various types of waste for effective recycling and disposal. For example, in November 2024, Green AI Technology Limited, a Hong Kong-based company specializing in AI visual recognition for smart waste sorting, launched an AI-powered smart bin for waste segregation. A standout feature of Green AI’s smart bins is their integration of advanced technologies such as scanners, conveyor belts, and digital scales, which allow for precise waste sorting and efficient compression to maximize storage capacity. These AI-powered bins are primarily targeted at high-footfall areas including shopping centers, hotels, and commercial buildings, especially those owned by publicly listed companies, where accurate sorting can significantly enhance the value of recyclable waste.

In October 2022, FairPrice Group, a Singapore-based provider of smart trash bins, teamed up with the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (ASTAR) to launch BINgo, a smart waste sorting bin. This collaboration aims to advance sustainability practices through the initiative, which focuses on promoting environmental awareness, educating the community on proper recycling habits, and encouraging a reduction in environmental footprints. ASTAR is a Singapore-based public sector agency specializing in scientific and technological research.
