This bibliometric study evaluates trends in circular economy literature across emerging economies between 2010 and 2024, focusing on fields such as environmental science, business, management, and engineering. Using quantitative bibliometric analysis, the work shows a marked rise in publication volume since 2019, reflecting an increasing global commitment to sustainable development and rising interest in circular principles within developing markets. Central research themes include sustainability, waste management, and the design of novel business models to tackle practical adoption hurdles. Research output is notably led by contributors from India, China, and the United Kingdom, demonstrating the role of international collaborative networks. To advance the field, future investigations must incorporate specific local and regional contexts to build tailored implementation frameworks, while reinforcing interdisciplinary links and cross-border cooperation.
Transitioning to a circular economy is vital for sustainable development and managing resource constraints in emerging economies. By mapping research patterns across a fourteen-year period, this study identifies existing priorities such as waste management and business innovation, highlighting where collaborative research can help emerging markets address local environmental and economic demands.

The study “Circular Economy: A Bibliometric Review of Research in Emerging Economies” examines the growing literature on circular economy practices, particularly within environmental science, business, management, and engineering. Utilizing a bibliometric tool and quantitative approach, the research analyzed patterns and trends in publications on circular economy research in emerging economies from 2010 to 2024. The study observed a notable increase in publications since 2019, reflecting a global shift towards sustainable development and heightened awareness of circular economy principles in emerging economies. Key themes identified include sustainability, waste management, and innovative business models, highlighting efforts to address implementation challenges. The significant contributions from countries like India, the UK, and China, along with strong collaborative networks, underscore the importance of international partnerships. The study suggests that future research should strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration and incorporate regional and local contexts to develop tailored strategies. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for expanded global cooperation.
