The North America biomass pellets market is expected to grow from US$ 789.10 million in 2022 to US$ 1,124.36 million by 2030. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2030.
Significant Investment in Research and Expansion Strategies Drives North America Biomass Pellets Market
Major manufacturers of wood pellets are significantly investing in research and development activities to improve the efficiency of the wood pellet production process. Biomass pellets manufacturers invest in technological advancement to develop new and improved designs for pellet mills, ensuring better output with optimum fuel input. Also, extensive research activities have been carried out to promote the calorific value of wood pellets from the available feedstock. Further, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on maximizing market share by investing in plant expansion activities concerning wood pellets. For instance, in May 2021, Drax Group, a biomass producer and supplier, strategized to establish three new wood pellet production plants in Arkansas worth US$ 40 million. The three "satellite" plants are expected to possess a combined capacity of ~120,000 kilo tons/year of wood pellets. Similarly, in December 2020, Pinnacle Renewable Holdings started operations in the wood pellets production facility in Alberta, Canada. The new facility is aligned with the company's objective to diversify its fiber supply with the help of high-quality wood fiber obtained from Tolko's existing sawmill in Canada. In 2021, Drax Group PLC announced targets of 8 million tons of biomass pellets production capacity per annum by 2030, an increase compared to 4 million tons in 2021. In 2022, Drax Group PLC signed an acquisition agreement with Princeton Standard Pellet Corporation (Canada), with a production capacity of 90,000 tons of wood pellets per year. Hence, significant investment in research and expansion of facilities are expected to proliferate the growth of the North America biomass pellets market over the coming years.
North America Biomass Pellets Market Overview
The North America biomass pellets market is significantly driven by the regional cost competitiveness of biomass pellets as compared to residential heating oil and propane. The production of wood pellets in North America has gained traction over the past few years due to rising demand from overseas markets. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the US and Canada supply wood pellets to the power plants in the Netherlands and Belgium. The increase in domestic demand for biomass pellets in the region has prompted manufacturers to expand their production capacities. In 2023, Grand River Pellets (Canada) invested US$ 30 million to expand the biomass pellets production capacity from 140,000 to 220,000 metric tons per year. There are ~1 million residences in the US that use wood pellets for several applications, such as heat, freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts, furnaces, and boilers. According to the Pellet Fuels Institute, wood pellets in the region are produced in manufacturing facilities in the US and Canada, and distributed through fireplace dealers, nurseries, building supply stores, and discount merchandisers. Thus, the expansion of biomass pellets production facilities in the region is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
