Market Growth Factors

The South Korea IT asset disposition market is propelled by escalating demand for secure disposal solutions facilitated by stricter government regulations on electronic waste and rising corporate refresh cycles. Growing corporate needs to safely dispose of sensitive data along with increased awareness regarding environmental sustainability contribute notably to market expansion. Growing IT expenditure and export restrictions also act as influential factors encouraging industry growth.

Increasing electronic waste volume is driving market players to expand operational footprints, including global ventures such as SK Ecoplant’s ITAD expansion through SK TES. This expansion addresses secure data destruction and e-waste recycling needs, fostering comprehensive lifecycle asset management focused on regulatory compliance and corporate sustainability.
