Global Liquid Biofuels Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Ethanol, Biodiesel), By Feedstock (Sugar Crops, Starch Crops, Vegetable Oils, Animal Fats, Others), By Process (Fermentation, Transesterification, Others), By Application (Transportation, Power Generation, Heat), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030
Global Liquid Biofuels Market is valued at approximately USD 137.26 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a growth rate of more than 8.6% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Liquid biofuels are a type of renewable fuels derived from organic materials, typically plant-based or animal-based sources. These fuels are regarded as a fuel replacement for all types of internal combustion (IC) engines that run on diesel, gasoline, or kerosene and are used in land, air, and sea transportation vehicles. The growing concerns regarding climate change, exploration of new feedstock sources, increasing energy security, coupled with the high demand for transportation fuels are the most prominent factors that are propelling the market demand across the globe.
In addition, the rise in the number of government initiatives for encouraging the use of cleaner energy alternatives that result in zero carbon dioxide emissions on combustion and promote the adoption of plant-based raw material is further contributing to the market expansion. Liquid biofuels are a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. For instance, the US government has declared a total investment of USD 1.7 trillion in clean energy and climate resilience over the next few years. The government also aims to raise its own investment by over USD 5 trillion by leveraging those made by local, state, and federal governments as well as the private sector. Moreover, the expanding use of liquid biofuels in other applications, as well as the ongoing research and development efforts are leading to advancements in biofuel production technologies present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the volatile prices of raw materials and the availability of feedstock are hindering the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Liquid Biofuels Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 with largest market share owing to the availability of an abundance of feedstock and arable areas for biofuel production. Also, the surge in demand for transportation fuels, as well as rising inclination towards sustainable aviation fuels are attributing to the regional market growth during the estimated period. Whereas, Latin America is expected to grow with a significant CAGR over the forecast years. The growing need for sustainable energy sources, proactive government initiatives to curb carbon emissions, and increasing investments in transmission infrastructure are significantly propelling the market demand across the region. Government policies promoting biofuel production and utilization, including tax incentives, obligatory blending quotas, and financial support for research and development, have collectively created a conducive environment for the biofuel industry. This, has encouraged substantial investments and advancements in the sector, which, in turn, augments the regional market growth.
