[189 Pages Report] The Wood Pellet Market size was estimated at USD 8.92 billion in 2022 and expected to reach USD 9.37 billion in 2023, at a CAGR 5.48% to reach USD 13.67 billion by 2030.
Wood pellets are biomass fuel produced from compressed sawdust, wood shavings, or other wood waste materials. The production process involves compressing and extruding wood particles under high pressure, often without additives or binders. The method of pelletizing the wood affects the natural lignin within the wood, acting as a binder and negating the need for artificial additives. They are commonly used in heating systems for residential and commercial spaces and large-scale power generation. Wood pellets are regarded as a renewable energy source as they are made from biomass that can be replenished over a relatively short period compared to fossil fuels. The growth of the wood pellet market is primarily driven by an increasing demand for renewable energy sources, stringent governmental regulations on carbon emissions, and fluctuating fossil fuel prices. The environmental benefits of biofuels such as wood pellets have further enhanced their popularity among end-users.
Moreover, the subsidies and incentives governments offer worldwide to promote green energy contribute to market expansion. However, fluctuating raw material prices affect the production cost of pellets, supply chain disruptions, technical challenges in pellet production, certain limitations, and materials scarcity issues affect the market growth. Moreover, the escalated efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality present significant opportunities for the wood pellet industry. Advancements in pellet production technologies, expansion in end-use applications beyond heating, and the availability of raw materials widen the growth prospects.
