The global biofuels market size is expected to reach USD 207.87 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research. The rising need for sustainable energy resources, coupled with favorable government regulations to reduce dependency on fossil fuels is expected to be a major driver for market growth. Biofuels are eco-friendly, and renewable and have proved to be a viable option in the European Union, the Americas, and Asia Pacific for power generation. The various advantages obtained by employing biofuel include sustainability and reduction in carbon footprint. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe in 2020 resulted in a slowdown in the growth of this market.
Delayed utility-scale projects due to lockdown measures, social distancing guidelines, and financial challenges negatively affected the demand for biofuels in the electricity generation segment. The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted the product demand in heat generation applications. Sluggish industrial activities have reduced the demand for heat consumption, thereby negatively affecting the demand for biofuels. The others segment in the product category, which includes propanol, butanol, methanol, and biogas, led the industry in 2022 and accounted for the largest revenue share followed by ethanol as the second-largest segment in the biofuels market.
The major reason for the dominance of the others segment is the shift in focus of countries toward the use of renewable sources, particularly for electricity generation, which significantly boosted the global demand for biogas. In addition, the increasing requirement to reduce dependency on fossil fuels is creating lucrative opportunities for the utilization of biogas as fuel in vehicles. The industry is concentrated where major companies, such as Air Liquide, Shell, and, Archer Daniels Midland Company, accounted for the majority of revenue share in 2022. These companies are equipped with facilities, which are capable of manufacturing and transportation of biofuels, such as ethanol, biodiesel, and others.
