Latin America Waste to Energy Market Size, Share, and Industry Forecast 2034

The Latin America Waste to Energy Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.10% during 2026-2034. The market size was valued at USD 2.34 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 3.66 billion by 2034. The market is gaining steady traction as Latin American economies address rising urban waste volumes, landfill saturation, and energy security challenges simultaneously. Rapid urbanization across Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina has significantly increased municipal solid waste generation, exceeding 540 million tons annually across the region. Waste-to-energy solutions are increasingly viewed as a dual-benefit approach, enabling waste volume reduction while generating baseload electricity and thermal energy. Countries facing landfill constraints are prioritizing incineration, anaerobic digestion, and refuse-derived fuel technologies to divert waste streams.
