The enterprise IT asset disposition market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by expanding enterprise sustainability initiatives, heightened awareness of data breaches, rising opportunities for refurbishment and resale, stronger corporate compliance requirements, and an increased focus on cost efficiency. Key trends anticipated during this period include improvements in secure data erasure, advancements in automated asset tracking, the integration of AI in asset management, the use of blockchain for enhanced traceability, and technology-enabled refurbishment solutions.
Rising concerns about e-waste are expected to drive growth in the enterprise IT asset disposition market. E-waste concerns involve environmental, health, and security challenges arising from the improper disposal, accumulation, and handling of discarded electronic devices and IT equipment. These concerns are increasing due to rapid technological advancements that shorten product life cycles and lead to frequent device upgrades, generating large volumes of obsolete electronics and putting pressure on disposal and recycling systems. Enterprise IT asset disposition addresses these issues by providing secure, compliant, and environmentally responsible methods for managing decommissioned equipment. For example, in March 2024, the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership (GESP) reported that global e-waste reached 62 million tonnes in 2022 and is expected to increase by about 33% to 82 million tonnes by 2030, growing at an average of 2.6 million tonnes per year.
Companies in the enterprise IT asset disposition market are focusing on AI-driven innovations to improve operations. Artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled IT asset management systems optimize asset tracking, predict end-of-life cycles, and automate secure data erasure, ensuring compliance and efficiency. In May 2025, Sojitz Corporation, a Japan-based trading company, launched Hi-Kii, Japan’s first AI-enabled IT asset disposition platform. Hi-Kii provides predictive device lifecycle management, automated data sanitization, and real-time asset reporting, enhancing decision-making, reducing manual work, and strengthening data security.
In January 2024, Iron Mountain, a US-based provider of storage and information management services, acquired Regency Technologies for $200 million. This acquisition expands Iron Mountain’s capabilities in asset lifecycle management, strengthens its presence in the enterprise IT asset disposition market, and supports growing demand for secure and sustainable IT asset retirement solutions. Regency Technologies, based in the US, provides IT asset disposition services including secure data destruction, electronics recycling, and equipment remarketing.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
Enterprise information technology (IT) asset disposition involves the systematic process through which organizations retire, recycle, resell, or otherwise dispose of outdated or surplus IT equipment in a secure and environmentally responsible manner. This practice helps reduce environmental impact, recover residual value, and protect sensitive data during the decommissioning of hardware assets such as servers, laptops, and networking devices.
The primary services in enterprise IT asset disposition include de-manufacturing and recycling, remarketing and value recovery, data destruction, lease return management, and more.
