In California, Grand View Research reported that the Middle East waste-to-energy market size was estimated at 1.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $2.48 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2025 to 2033.
The market is gaining momentum as governments across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt implement waste management reforms and sustainability strategies to reduce landfill dependency and convert municipal solid waste into clean energy, the research firm said.
¨UAE dominated the Middle East waste to energy market with the largest revenue share of 46.75% in 2024, driven by its ambitious sustainability goals under the UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and the Circular Economy Policy 2031. Flagship projects such as the Dubai Waste Management Centre, the world’s largest single-site WtE facility, are central to reducing landfill dependence and generating renewable electricity from municipal waste,” it added.
