Trends and Insights

  • The COVID-19 outbreak hits downstream markets. The rising base rate environment and subdued economic growth hit demand from manufacturing and construction sectors in the two years through 2023.
  • A slowing construction sector weighs on demand. Amid the rising base rate environment, increased borrowing costs have put off developers from beginning projects, weighing on construction activity.
  • Concentration is low in the Non-Hazardous Waste Collection industry. Low barriers to entry allow plenty of small companies to join the industry. However, consolidation activity among larger players is frequent.
