Government Initiatives and Emission Standards Accelerate Market Growth

The e-SUVs market stands at the forefront of the global automotive electrification movement, driven by unprecedented government support and regulatory frameworks designed to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Stringent Emission Regulations Drive Industry Transformation

Governments worldwide are implementing increasingly stringent automotive emission regulations, compelling manufacturers to accelerate their electric vehicle development programs. These regulatory frameworks, combined with consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and the global shift toward eco-friendly transportation solutions, create a powerful catalyst for e-SUV adoption across all market segments.

The expanding installation of charging infrastructure further supports this transition, addressing one of the primary barriers to electric vehicle adoption and making e-SUVs more accessible to mainstream consumers.

Compact SUV Development Reshapes Market Dynamics

The focus of automotive manufacturers on developing small and compact SUVs represents a strategic response to evolving consumer preferences and urban mobility requirements. Compact e-SUVs offer space efficiency, maneuverability, fuel efficiency, versatility, safety features, and stylish design, delivering a comprehensive driving experience that appeals to diverse consumer segments.

A significant example of this trend is Kia Corporation’s launch in May 2025 of the company’s first compact electric sports utility vehicle, built on its dedicated EV platform. This strategic move demonstrates the potential of the compact SUV market, even amid global EV market fluctuations.

Battery-Electric SUVs Command Market Leadership

Propulsion Technologies Define Market Segments

The battery-electric SUVs segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 64% of the global e-SUVs market in 2025. This dominance reflects increasingly stringent automotive emission regulations worldwide, consumer demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, the global shift toward eco-friendly transportation solutions, and the expanding charging infrastructure network.

However, the hybrid SUVs segment is projected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by increasing investments by automotive OEMs for hybridization of vehicle powertrains, superior fuel efficiency, lower running costs compared to diesel or petrol-running vehicles, reduced emissions, and enhanced performance capabilities.

Mid-Size SUVs Lead Market Revenue Generation

The mid-size SUVs segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 42% of the global e-SUVs market in 2025. These vehicles, positioned between compact and full-size SUVs, offer better handling, higher fuel efficiency, and greater suitability for city driving and parking compared to full-size alternatives.

The compact SUV segment, however, is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by fuel efficiency advantages, advanced safety features, rising consumer preference toward compact SUVs, and the growing focus of automotive manufacturers to launch compact electric SUVs with advanced capabilities.

Power Output Optimization Drives Performance Standards

The 150 KW to 250 KW power output segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 53% of the global e-SUVs market in 2025. This segment’s dominance is attributed to the increasing adoption of electric SUVs, growing investments by government authorities in EV charging infrastructure development, and favorable policies, incentives, and subsidies introduced by various state governments.

Asia-Pacific Establishes Global Market Leadership

Regional Dynamics Shape Market Evolution

Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of over 56% of the e-SUVs market in 2025, driven by government subsidies, tax incentives, and regulations supporting EV development and adoption. The region’s focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, growing automobile demand, and rising consumer preference for fuel-efficient mobility solutions position it as the global market leader.

The Asia-Pacific region is also projected to record the highest CAGR of over 19% during the forecast period. This exceptional growth is driven by increasing initiatives and investments supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure, growing attention from major players to technological improvements in new products, and the expansion of production capacity across key markets.

Investment Opportunities and Market Challenges

OEM Investments Create Growth Opportunities

Increasing investment in e-SUVs by leading automotive OEMs presents significant opportunities for market expansion. These investments focus on research and development, manufacturing capacity expansion, and technological innovation to meet evolving consumer demands and regulatory requirements.

Pricing and Infrastructure Challenges

Despite robust growth prospects, the e-SUV market faces challenges including the high price premium compared to conventional SUVs and the absence of adequate charging infrastructure in developing countries. The expensive battery technology employed in EVs remains the primary factor driving pricing differentials, potentially limiting mass market adoption in price-sensitive segments.

More Than Words: How To Connect With Communities When It Feels Impossible

Posted on June 26, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

NORTHAMPTON, Mass., June 26, 2025 /3BL/ – In Episode 7 of 3BL’s What the…? video series, host Mary Mazzoni welcomes back Daniel Blackman, Founder of Renaissance94, for his second appearance on our series. This time, Blackman dives into why the sustainability space continues to miss the mark on real engagement and how practitioners can start to rebuild trust and connection across communities.

Full episode here.

As sustainability messaging becomes increasingly politicized, Blackman pulls no punches on where the industry has gone wrong.

“We’ve seen ESG, we’ve seen sustainability—these have become more about branding than about saving lives,” said Blackman. “It’s been more about branding than about engaging communities.”

He emphasizes the importance of shifting the way communicators show up and speak to people beyond their usual circles.

“We need to stop speaking at and over people. We need to speak to people where they are.”

Key takeaways from the conversation:

We’re talking—but not connecting. Sustainability professionals must meet communities where they are, both physically and emotionally, rather than delivering messages from afar or with a corporate filter.
Access and infrastructure matter. Many of the communities most impacted by climate issues lack the infrastructure, like broadband or transportation, to even participate in the conversation.
Communities want to be part of the solution. Every day, people, especially those directly affected by climate events, have valuable knowledge and lived experience. They should be seen as partners.

Veolia Expands U.S. Hazardous Waste Treatment Leadership Through Strategic Acquisitions and Organic Growth

Posted on June 26, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Acquisition of three leading U.S. hazardous waste management companies located in Massachusetts and California
A decisive step in the company’s ambition to double the size of its North America business, with a focus on hazardous waste treatment, one of the boosters of GreenUp

BOSTON, June 26, 2025 /3BL/ – Veolia, the world leader in hazardous waste treatment with 5b$ in this activity, patented technologies and a worldwide presence, today announced actions to expand its hazardous waste treatment and disposal business in North America through investment, acquisitions and capacity expansion. The company announced c.$350 million (€300m) in global investments worldwide, including three new U.S. acquisitions in Massachusetts and California and reaffirmed plans to expand existing facilities.

As reshoring drives the growth of US manufacturing industries and medical technologies continue to advance, hazardous waste treatment and disposal capacity must anticipate this demand. Veolia’s global leadership in hazardous waste management allows the company to meet these needs, ensure environmental security for communities, and provide safe, proven solutions for industrial hazardous waste.

Veolia Acquires Three Leading Hazardous Waste Providers

In Massachusetts, the company has acquired New England Disposal Technologies and New England MedWaste. With these acquisitions, Veolia now operates the state’s only permitted medical waste disposal facility, as well as two of the state’s three permitted household hazardous waste disposal sites. The acquisitions also expand Veolia’s leadership in serving the Massachusetts healthcare and life science industries.

In California, the company has acquired Ingenium, a leading waste management service firm specializing in packaging, transportation, recycling and disposal of hazardous, non-hazardous, biological, universal and radioactive waste. This builds on a prior strategic partnership between the two companies to lock in guaranteed high-temperature treatment capacity for customers at Veolia incinerators.

A vast and powerful network of infrastructure in the US, including a state-of-the-art thermal treatment facility to start up in Arkansas

Veolia, which owns six high-temperature incinerators at three sites in the United States (Port Arthur, TX – Gum Springs, AR – Sauget, IL) also gave an update on the expansion of its unique high temperature hazardous waste treatment facility in Gum Springs, Ark., which has been undergoing a multi-year expansion that will make it one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable facilities of its kind in the world. When the facility starts up it will progressively bring new permitted incineration capacity to the market, much of it already contracted as part of long-term agreements.

The new incinerator design incorporates energy recovery to produce power for the site and therefore is subject to the EPA’s recycling designation of H050 for wastes received for treatment. This designation, coupled with the multiple environmental awards already received by the project, further reinforces Veolia’s position as a provider of environmentally sustainable waste management solutions. This ability to turn waste into a resource and to design facilities that are both essential for the regions and increasingly virtuous perfectly aligns with the ambitions set out in Veolia’s strategic GreenUp program, which aims to depollute, decarbonize, and preserve resources.

In addition to these state-of-the-art high temperature incinerators, Veolia also owns 49 transport and transfer platforms in 29 states as well as significant capacities for the recycling of liquid hazardous waste and electronic waste. Thanks to this wide range of solutions and facilities, the Group is able to efficiently meet the growing needs of local industrial players.

Bob Cappadona, President and Chief Executive Officer of Veolia’s North American Environmental Solutions and Services business said: “Our team is proud to be at the forefront of Veolia’s plans to lead the hazardous waste industry, by investing in growth, expanded capacity and new environmental technologies.

The world’s solar industry is advancing at a rapid pace, leading to a surge in the production of solar panels. As more panels are installed, the inevitable consequence is that an increasing number of solar panels will eventually reach the end of their useful life, creating a growing stream of decommissioned and obsolete units. This presents a tremendous opportunity for green waste management solutions, as the proper recycling and disposal of solar panels can help prevent environmental contamination and reduce the burden on landfills. Governments around the world are imposing increasingly stringent regulations and standards to ensure the responsible disposal and recycling of PV panels. Furthermore, the recycling process itself becomes more economically viable as valuable materials like silicon, silver, aluminum, and glass can be recovered from old solar panels and reused in new ones. The report runs an in-depth analysis of market trends, key players, and future opportunities. In general, the Solar Panel Recycling Market growth of 7.4% comprises a vast array of Type, Shelf life, Technique, and Geography which are expected to register strength during the coming years.

Market Overview and Growth Trajectory:

Solar Panel Recycling Market Growth: According to an exhaustive report by The Research Insights, the Solar Panel Recycling Market is experiencing significant growth. This growth is mainly because of the rising EOL and decommissioned solar panel installations and limited supply of solar panel critical raw material. The decline in primary silver prices further gives importance to the solar panel recycling industry. The increasing demand for green energy is driving the solar panel recycling market. According to one of the report’s latest study, Perovskite-based solar panels are anticipated to disrupt the traditional silicon-based PV industry in the coming years, which will have an effect on the solar panel recycling market and other markets. Solar panel recycling industry will also face impact from Perovskite solar panels. In addition to this, public awareness regarding the benefits of solar panel recycling is another major factor influencing the growth of the solar panel recycling market. The cost of raw material recovery is an important factor driving the solar panel recycling market. The high recovery cost is because the solar panels do not come in contact with liquids during the manufacturing process.

End-of-Life Solar Panels and Mounting Solar Waste:
One of the most pressing drivers of the solar panel recycling market is the increasing volume of decommissioned and aging solar panels reaching their end-of-life (EoL). Most photovoltaic (PV) panels have a lifespan of about 25–30 years. As early installations from the 1990s and 2000s now begin to expire, the global volume of solar waste is rapidly increasing. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), it is projected that by 2050, up to 78 million tonnes of solar panel waste could accumulate worldwide. This massive accumulation poses environmental, regulatory, and logistical challenges, necessitating robust recycling systems. Recycling helps recover valuable materials such as silver, aluminum, silicon, and glass, reducing the environmental footprint of PV systems and ensuring sustainability across the product lifecycle. As global solar capacity continues to expand, so too does the imperative to manage EoL materials responsibly, driving the demand for efficient recycling infrastructures.

Government Regulations and Policy Support:
Government regulations and extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates are significantly accelerating the growth of the solar panel recycling industry. In regions like the European Union, under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, solar panels are legally classified as e-waste and must be properly collected and recycled. Manufacturers are obligated to finance the take-back and recycling of their products. Similarly, countries such as Japan, South Korea, and India are implementing or planning regulatory frameworks to address solar waste management. In the United States, some states (e.g., California and Washington) are leading policy initiatives that include EPR laws for PV modules. Such regulations not only incentivize solar companies to integrate recycling programs but also stimulate investments in specialized recycling facilities, technology development, and workforce training — all of which are critical to scaling the market.

Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Incentives:
The economic and environmental benefits of recovering rare and finite materials from solar panels are a strong motivator for recycling. PV modules contain valuable components like silver, copper, high-purity silicon, and rare earth elements that are expensive to mine and refine. Recycling allows for the reuse of these materials, reducing dependence on virgin mining operations, conserving natural resources, and lowering energy use in manufacturing. This is particularly relevant as raw material prices fluctuate and the demand for solar-grade materials increases in tandem with the growth of renewable energy installations. The circular economy model — emphasizing reuse, refurbishment, and resource efficiency — is gaining widespread traction among governments, businesses, and environmental groups. By reintegrating recovered materials into the production cycle, solar panel recycling aligns with global sustainability goals and corporate ESG commitments, further driving adoption and market growth.
