U.S. Liquid Waste Management Market To Reach $29.8 Billion By 2030

 November 2023 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

U.S. Liquid Waste Management Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. liquid waste management market size is expected to reach USD 29.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 1.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growth in demand for onsite treatment and waste management facilities is likely to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), around 20% of facilities in small communities have improper wastewater treatment. The government is taking initiatives to improve the sanitation systems in rural areas that are not connected to the central wastewater sewer networks.

Additionally, rising environmental and public health safety concerns are anticipated for the implementation of stringent rules and regulations that are likely to increase the demand for onsite as well as offsite wastewater treatment plants. For instance, U.S. EPA revised the regulations of poultry, metal finishing, and textile industry with new effluent limitations in September 2021.

Moreover, technological developments and new investments in the wastewater treatment infrastructure are likely to drive the growth of the country’s waste management capabilities. For instance, there are around 32 new construction projects for treatment plants in North America. The City of Evansville, Indiana, is planning the construction of a new treatment plant with an investment of USD 177 million. It is expected to complete by 2025.

The COVID-19 outbreak had a mixed impact on the growth of the waste management market. While due to the limited manufacturing activities during lockdowns, industrial waste generation declined and residential water usage increased which led to the residential water generation spike. Over the forecast period, with the resumption of industrial activities, the market is anticipated to witness strong growth.

Companies in the industry are focusing on mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, product launches, and expansions to increase market penetration. For instance, in April 2022, Skanska signed a contract with R.J. Industries, Inc., as a part of a joint venture to work at a wastewater resource recovery facility in NY, USA, which will enhance the capacity of the city wastewater management.

U.S. Voice Recognition Market To Reach $8.02 Billion By 2030

 September 2024 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

U.S. Voice Recognition Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. voice recognition market demand is expected to reach USD 5.02 billion by 2030, registering a 9.7% CAGR from 2023 to 2030 according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing demand for self-service applications such as voice-based biometric identification in the banking sector is anticipated to drive market growth in the near future. The increasing number of users of mobile banking applications for banking transactions is also expected to positively influence the growth of the U.S. market in the near future. An alarming rise in fraudulent banking activities in the U.S. is a major factor driving the adoption of high-end security measures, such as voice-based biometrics, in banking organizations.

The integration of the technology in automobiles is gaining popularity across the globe as numerous countries are developing stringent driving regulations such as banning the use of cell phones while driving vehicles. It is estimated that by 2020, more than 50% of the world’s cars would be equipped with in-car voice recognition systems with features such as placing a call or changing music using verbal commands. The trend is also likely to be strong in the U.S., thus driving the U.S. market for voice recognition.

In addition to this, voice commands help drivers keep their eyes on the road even when accessing applications such as car navigation or in-car infotainment system while driving. Whereas, speech destination entry helps drivers to follow the route correctly while keeping their eye on the road, manually entering data into a navigation system can result in significant safety risks. Owing to the rising demand globally, manufacturers of consumer devices are focusing on innovating their products by enabling verbal commands in them. This trend is expected to accelerate the growth of the U.S. voice recognition market over the forecast period.

U.S. Contrast Media Market Size To Reach $3.36 Billion By 2030

 September 2024 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

U.S. Contrast Media Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. contrast media market size is expected to reach USD 3.36 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing burden of chronic diseases is creating a demand for diagnostic imaging procedures, which, in turn, is driving the market growth. Imaging tests, such as MRI, have become an integral part of the diagnosis for most diseases, and large-scale penetration of imaging technology in healthcare has increased the demand for contrast media in the U.S. market. Chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, are rapidly becoming a major public health concern and are among the leading causes of death across the U.S., resulting in the need for early diagnostic tools and effective treatment options.

Hence, the increasing prevalence of complex comorbidities and long-term diseases is one of the major drivers of imaging tests and contrast agents; thus, contributing to the market growth. The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative impact on the market due to decreased patient visits to hospitals. Many radiology departments experienced a rapid decline in imaging case volume. However, many states in the U.S. have begun to reopen their economies; however, it will take time for the utilization rate of contrast media to reach pre-pandemic levels. In addition, with the launch of COVID-19 vaccines and ease in restrictions, the import and export of raw materials have resumed. This, in turn, therefore, is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period.
