Biochar Market by production technology (Pyrolysis, Gasification, and Others), Application (Soil Amendment, Animal Feed, Industrial, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030
The global biochar market was valued at $170.9 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $587.7 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.2 from 2021 to 2030.
Biochar is a charcoal produced from the pyrolysis of biomass in the absence of oxygen. It is porous, carbon rich solid that possesses cation exchange capacity (CEC). It is widely used in soil amendment applications to enhance the soil quality, and plant nutrition. In addition to this, it is used as a prime animal feed supplement to enhance the digestion, blood formation, and nutrition intake efficiency of cattle (cows and goats).
The increasing demand for crops has surged the growth of the agriculture sector where biochar is widely used for soil amendment applications. This is expected to aggressively penetrate and boost the demand for biochar in the growing agriculture industry. In addition, biochar reduces the use of other inorganic fertilizers; thus making agriculture a profitable business. This has led the farmers become more linear toward using biochar for crop production. This factor may positively drive the growth of the biochar market.
However, biochar manufacturing is an expensive process as it involves the use of various sophisticated and costly pyrolysis equipment. This restrains the manufacturers with low investment potential to enter into the biochar market. This factor is expected to hamper the market growth.
On the contrary, biochar is widely employed as substitute over activated carbon owing to its chemical stability and cation exchange capacity (CEC) that makes it best suited for air filtration and water treatment applications in various end use sectors. Moreover, it is highly effective in dye adsorption from wastewater generated during textile washing. This is anticipated to increase the sales of biochar in several end use sectors; thus creating lucrative opportunities for the market.
The biochar market is segmented on the basis of production technology, application, and region. On the basis of production technology, the market is categorized into pyrolysis, gasification, and others. On the basis of application, it is divided into soil amendment, animal feed, industrial, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
