Biochar Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028
Market Report I 2023-07-05 I 141 Pages I IMARC Group
Market Overview 2023-2028:
The global biochar market size reached US$ 1.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12% during 2023-2028. The increasing prevalence of soil-borne diseases, rising food security concerns, and the growing demand for high-quality food grains represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Easy Availability of Cost-Effective Feedstock Augmenting the Market Growth
The rising production of biochar by using different types of biomasses as a feedstock represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. They involve agriculture and forestry waste, industrial byproducts, residential waste, animal waste, and municipal sewage.
Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is moderately fragmented due to the presence of a moderate number of global and regional players. The volume of new entrants is high in the biochar industry due to high market growth, low product differentiation, and switching costs.
What is Biochar?
Biochar is manufactured from organic matter like wood, agricultural waste, and animal manure. It is produced through the pyrolysis process, which involves heating the organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It is a fine-grained material considered to be a cleaner and more efficient alternative than other types of charcoal for converting carbon into a stable form. It aids in increasing soil fertility by improving soil structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient retention. It can also eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering carbon in the soil and improving crop yields by minimizing the amount of fertilizer and water needed.
COVID-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the biochar industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. Many biochar producers faced significant supply chain disruptions due to border closures, quarantine measures, and travel restrictions. This caused delays in the delivery of equipment and raw materials, which, in turn, affected production and profitability. In addition, some biochar facilities had to shut down temporarily on account of health concerns. Moreover, several workers were unable to work due to illness, quarantine requirements, or other restrictions. This led to a shortage of skilled labor and a decrease in productivity. However, the pandemic also created new opportunities for the biochar industry. With the increased emphasis on sustainable agriculture and the need for carbon sequestration, biochar has emerged as an attractive option for soil improvement and carbon capture. As a result, some biochar producers have experienced increased demand for their products from the agricultural and forestry sectors.
Biochar Market Trends:
Significant growth in the agriculture sector and the increasing prevalence of soil-borne diseases represent one of the major factors driving the demand for biochar around the world. Moreover, rapid urbanization, rising global population, declining arable land, and the growing food security concerns are catalyzing the demand for biochar to improve crop yield. This, coupled with the surging demand for high-quality food grains, is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, initiatives undertaken by governing agencies of numerous countries to promote sustainable agriculture practices on account of the increasing environmental concerns are contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, there is a rise in the use of biochar in the construction industry as a building material for producing concrete, green roof, insulation, and other products. This, along with the growing construction activities in residential and commercial areas, is influencing the market positively. Furthermore, the increasing usage of biochar in aquaculture systems to reduce the environmental impact of fish farming is favoring the growth of the market.
