Remediation & Environmental Cleanup Services in Canada industry analysis

Remediation and environmental cleanup service companies continue to benefit from improving conditions in the energy and mining sectors, steadily rising government expenditure and consistent demand from some manufacturing markets. Industry expansion was disrupted by the pandemic, which led to considerable volatility in downstream markets. A strong rebound in energy prices, mining activity and economic fundamentals have bolstered operator growth. Revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% to an estimated $3.3 billion through the end of 2024, including an estimated 1.0% revenue increase in 2024 alone. Profit is also expected to remain steady as operators' services remain in demand.

Trends and Insights

  • Government spending growth is significantly boosting servicer demand. Increased remediation needs from government clients, coupled with an incumbent and robust regulatory system, boosted revenue growth.
  • Site and building remediation projects are increasing. Strong business conditions and growing environmental awareness have led companies to hire more industry firms for these efforts.
  • Alberta hosts a high concentration of establishments due to favorable geographic conditions. The province holds a significant portion of Canada's oil and gas resources, especially oil sands, creating year-round cleanup opportunities for servicers.
  • High start-up costs deter many new entrants and limit growth opportunities. The consistent challenge of acquiring expensive equipment and qualified workers exacerbates start-up costs for new entrants.
