The growing economies and amplifying population have caused a significant increase in our everyday waste production. This questioned the existing waste management efficiency in several ways, against which refuse compactor vehicles came to the rescue.
The evolving needs and geographies have changed the product industry over the historical period. However, the increased income and growth of urban areas have been the key drivers of the refuse compactor vehicles’ demand in Europe. Over the period of 2018-2022, the market expanded significantly reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 3.3%.
The garbage truck is the sole equipment of the waste hauler and the only means for government to improve the waste collection and management efficiency. Moving towards circular economy, government is heavily investing in waste management strategies and thus a lot of research is fueled on refuse compactor vehicles.
Hydrogen and electric hybrid powered refuse fleets are deployed on Europe streets as a step closer to CO2 emission reduction. Other advancements that reduce human exposure to life threatening waste and human efforts are also on the way. For instance, Volvo is developing technology with Renova to launch robot autonomous driving refuse compactor trucks that will enable waste haulers to operate with mere few levers.
Such advancements are expected to draw plethora of opportunities for the growth of refuse compactor vehicle market in Europe depicting an overall CAGR of 4.1% over 2023 to 2033.
Over the 2018-2022 historical period, the Europe refuse compactor vehicle market registered a CAGR of 3.3%, and according to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 4.1% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.
Market share analysis of refuse compactor vehicle based on loader type and country is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the body capacity segment, up to 10 cubic meter sub-segment dominates with 67% market share in 2022.
“Regulatory Stringency and In-line Sustainable Developments in the Industry Will Propel the Market’’
European garbage trucks are known to dominate the world for more than a decade now. In an attempt to extend this dominance and promote the utmost development goal of Europe, the refuse compactor vehicles in the region are transforming to hydrogen-electric hybrid fuel source.
This development to combat the climate change has also overcome the range and capacity limitations of the fully electric refuse compactor trucks. The hydrogen-electric hybrid refuse trucks make no noise and demand refueling only once in two to three days.
Europe government is thrusting these advancements with increasing stringency on diesel fueled refuse compactor vehicles. In Netherlands, an agreement passed compensates renewable fuel sourced or emission free waste collection vehicles by 2025 and completely emission free vehicles by 2030. Such regulations are expected to push the research and adoption of sustainable refuse compactor vehicles.
“Increasing Population and Growing Urbanization Has Magnified the Need of Waste Management”
The population is multiplying at an enormous rate and increasing migration facilities and per capita disposable income has propelled urbanization equally in Europe. By 2050, 83.7% Europeans are expected to migrate to urban areas. This has caused a massive increase in waste production per square kilometer in the cities. Refuse compactor vehicles are thereby in high demand all across the Europe.
Side loaders and rear loaders are the most preferred refuse compactor trucks for waste management in residential areas owing to its convenient mobility in dense areas. Further, the advancements to boost the loading capacities of these loaders has significantly boosted its adoption propelling the overall refuse compactor vehicle market in the region.

“Product Cost is a Key Barrier to the Acceptance of Advanced Trucks”
Refuse compactor vehicle industry is witnessing tremendous growth over the years. Several advancements to upgrade the efficiency of the load and compaction and reduce human efforts have been made in the field. There has been significant progress in making the refuse trucks sustainable and emission free too, but these advancements come with a cost. The sustainable electric refuse compactor trucks cost double the ones powered by diesel. This is expected to be one of the key barrier in the otherwise linear growth of the market.
With efforts towards efficient waste management from both government and civils, Germany leads the sales of refuse compactor vehicles by accounting for more than 26% of the overall market value in 2022.
The urban population in Germany is on constant rise with more than 64 Million people living in urban areas as in 2022. This has been a prime reason for the increased demand of refuse compactor vehicles in Germany. Further, the projected economic developments are expected to pace the Germany refuse compactor vehicles market with a CAGR of 4.5% over 2023 to 2033.
Rear loaders are predominantly used refuse compactors when talked about Europe. They are a resourceful solution with diverse garbage lifting mechanisms. The range from hanging bucket types, triangle bucket type, triangle bucket with hanging bucket type, large floor bucket to swing arm type structure has broadened its applications for trash collection at grass root level.
Moreover, with a lower installation height of hanging bucket lever, the maximum height that bucket reaches does not exceed the overall height of the truck. This makes it fit for residential areas with dense trees. Large floor buckets also become the sealing for rear compressor after loading. Further advancements are also possible with the rear loader and thus they are the most common refuse compactors on Europe roads.
Up to 12 cubic meter body capacity refuse compactor vehicles will lead the market by body capacity. This segment is expected to hold roughly 67% of the value market share of the Europe refuse compactor trucks market.
These garbage trucks are the most preferred ones as they require optimal turn radius that fits well for the dense residencies in urban areas at the same time offer standard load capacity for waste collection. The longer trucks will aid the growth but have limitations on squeezing into the non-straight routes and hence are more preferred for commercial uses and industrial site waste collection.
In the forecast years, the up to 12 cubic meter body capacity segment is expected to fare with a CAGR of 3.8% over 2023-2033.
