Global Biomass Market Research Report by Feedstock (Food Crop, Non-Food Crop, Wood, Agricultural Residue, Municipal Solid Waste, Microalgae, Others), by Technology [Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Anaerobic Digestion, and Gasification, Co-Firing, Landfill Gas], by Product (Biodiesel, Biomethanol, Biogas, Others), by End-Use (Industrial, Commercial, Residential), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, Latin America) Forecast till 2050
Industry Overview
The global biomass market was anticipated to reach USD 56,886.3 million in 2021 and is expected to achieve USD 423,061.9 million by the end of 2050. Biomass is a renewable organic material that derives from animals and plants by containing stored chemical energy from the sun and generated through the photosynthesis process.
One of the key drivers for the global biomass market is the urgent need to control greenhouse gas emissions. As global warming becomes serious, more industries and governments are choosing clean energy like biomass to cut pollution. But starting biomass projects is costly and needs a lot of planning. Getting and moving raw materials also makes it harder and more expensive.
On the other hand, opportunities are opening as governments and key players introduce supportive regulations and launch new initiatives to promote biomass energy in the global biomass market. To support the sector, new plans and funding are being introduced. Still, biomass has to compete with other green sources like solar and wind, which are often easier and cheaper to use.
Industry Segmentations
The global biomass market is segmented based on the technology, including combined heat and power (CHP), anaerobic digestion, gasification, co-firing, and landfill gas.
Depending on the feedstock, the global market is divided into food crop, non-food crop, wood, agricultural residue, municipal solid waste, microalgae, and others.
In terms of product, the global market is classified into biodiesel, biomethanol, biogas, and others.
Industrial, commercial, and residential are part of the end use of the global biomass market.
Regional Analysis
North America is seeing steady growth in the biomass industry, primarily due to supportive government policies and active participation from companies focusing on clean energy. The U.S. and Canada are leading with investments in advanced biomass technologies like CHP and biodiesel production.
Europe continues to dominate the biomass market, backed by stringent environmental regulations and strong infrastructure. Germany, the UK, and France are working on clean energy by using better systems like gasification.
Asia Pacific is emerging as a key market, driven by growing energy demand, rapid urbanization, and abundant agricultural waste. China and India are using biomass to make power and fuel, helped by government support.
The Middle East & Africa are gradually embracing biomass, especially in regions lacking a consistent power supply. South Africa and Gulf countries are also trying new energy options besides oil and gas.
Latin America shows potential, with Brazil and Mexico utilizing biomass from agricultural residues. These places have plenty of raw materials and are turning them into useful energy.
Key Players
Major players in the global biomass market are Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc., Ameresco Inc., Dalkia, EnviTec Biogas AG, Vattenfall AB, Drax Group, Orsted A/S, MVV Energie AG, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Statkraft AS.
