The Dominican Republic’s rapid population growth, massive migration to urban areas, and increasing numbers of people living in poverty have resulted in serious deficiencies in the coverage and quality of water and sanitation services, including solid waste management. Of the country’s 8,463 rural communities, only about 2,100, or 25%, had drinking water service, while sanitary sewage disposal service covered only 16% of the entire population and 28% of the urban population, in addition to a highly inefficient solid waste management system (Source: Federacion Dominicana de Municipios, FEDOMU, www.fedomu.org.do).
There is no local production and technology to meet the demand of the market, the Dominican Republic has to import the key equipment needed for solid waste management and environmental technologies. Among imports, U.S. products and technology are highly regarded and lead the market with over a 90% share, according to sources interviewed for this report. The Dominican Republic’s market for solid waste equipment and services presents good opportunities for U.S. companies.
The U.S. Commercial Service stands ready to explore the opportunities in the Dominican Republic as well as the Caribbean region. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Javier Suarez at Javier.Suarez@trade.gov if your company is interested in learning more about this market.
