Strong need for an alternative fuel due to depleting natural hydrocarbon resources across the globe is also a strong driver for growth of the U.S. plastic-to-fuel market. Furthermore, increasing tipping cost of landfills, coupled with a need for solid plastic waste recycling technology is amongst key factors leading to growth in the market.

However, high initial setup cost of waste processing facilities, in addition to technological complexities occurring due to delicate relationship between type of waste plastic processed, technology, and the output can pose key challenges for growth.

Revenue Generated through Sale of Processor: Key Segment in the U.S. Plastic-to-Fuel Market

The U.S. plastic-to-fuel market is segmented on the basis of revenue generation models followed by key market players. Revenue generation models include revenue earned through sale of processors, revenue earned by sale of fuel produced using conversion technology, and revenues grossed through royalties.

Amongst other segments, revenue generated through sale of processor is estimated to account for approximately 70% of the total plastic-to-fuel market in the U.S. However, revenues earned through royalties is anticipated to witness a CAGR of 7.81% during the forecast period, despite expected to account for a negligible share in revenue in 2020.

Revenue generated through sale of fuels is estimated to account for less than 40% of the total market in 2020. This model is likely to exhibit a lower CAGR as compared to other segments, which can be attributed to a number of technical difficulties faced during the plastic-to-fuel conversion process.

Fuels produced through conversion technologies are further divided into crude oil and diesel. Amongst these, crude oil market is anticipated to witness a high CAGR of 7.81% during the forecast period.
