Biorefinery Market
Growth Factors of Biorefinery Market
The biorefinery market size was valued at USD 49.24 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 53.40 billion in 2024 to USD 105.25 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.85% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Construction suspension was a key factor attributed to the global COVID-19 lockdown affecting biorefinery market growth. The market also suffered the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in many fields. Moreover, the sanctioning of new projects was the least for the year with a decline in annual growth rate because of low investment/repository potential simply due to economic upheaval in several countries.
Stringent environmental laws and consciousness have compelled the adoption of cleaner fuels and increased biorefinery market share, reducing the use of conventional energy sources that pollute the environment. After the Paris Agreement, the countries’ codified carbon targets have propped up waste-to-energy projects and sustainable chemical manufacturing through biorefineries. These changes align with international objectives for the environment and sustainable industrial and business operations.
Furthermore, technological innovation in biorefineries is imperative as the dependence on cleaner fuels increases, specifically for converting lignocellulosic biomass into bioenergy and bio-chemicals. Constraints involved in the decomposition of biomass are solved by pre-treatment procedures that work selectively, such as the innovative 2019 bloom bio-renewables SA pre-treatment procedure that selectively breaks down cellulose and lignin. These advancements are expected to foster the further development of biorefineries worldwide.
