U.S. Municipal Biosolids Management: Drivers, Trends, and Forecasts, 2025–2035
Bluefield forecasts that annual spend by municipalities on biosolids management and disposal will grow from US$2.5 billion in 2025 to US$4.8 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 6.2%. This growth is largely attributed to high inflation rates, particularly concerning incineration and landfill disposal costs.
