A new study by Infinium Global Research dives deep into the medical waste container market, analyzing different categories (like infectious vs general waste) and regions around the world. The report explores what's affecting the market now and, in the future, including positive factors (drivers), negative influences (restraints), and broader economic trends. It also provides forecasts on how big the market will be in dollar value and what trends will emerge. According to the study, the global medical waste container market was worth nearly $1.8 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 5.71% between 2020 and 2026.

The medical waste container market is segmented by type of waste and the container itself. By waste type, the largest segment is general medical waste, the massive amount produced in hospitals and clinics. Chemotherapy containers lead the container segmentation due to the prevalence of cancer. Medical waste containers come in various designs, colors and labels depending on the specific medical waste they are meant for.
