Market Overview

The IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) Market Size is all about the secure and eco-friendly handling and getting rid of worn-out or dead IT devices. ITAD is not only about disposal; it is a strategy that covers the whole tech asset lifecycle from purchasing to scrapping. The focus is to reduce the environmental impact to a minimum, guarantee data security and recover the maximum residual value from the equipment. ITAD also secures compliance with the increasing number of strict governmental and industry regulations pertaining to e-waste disposal and data protection.

In January 2023, TES, a leading provider of IT lifecycle management services and sustainable IT asset disposition (ITAD), announced the launch of a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas. ABB Robotics and US start-up Molg announced in October 2024 that they will work together to create robotic micro-factories to retrieve and recycle data center owners' abandoned electronic equipment.

The American Rescue Plan has contributed more than $1 billion, plus $175 million every year, to the TMF, which the U.S. government has set aside for the disposal of data-bearing IT assets and dealing with urgent security problems. In Canada, the adoption of circular economy policies is supported by provincial governments, which expand the definitions of e-waste products.

Driving Factors

The IT asset disposition market in North America is driven by strict data privacy laws like HIPAA and the CCPA, which are imposed mainly on North American organisations in the financial (BFSI) and healthcare sectors.
