Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global biosolids market to grow steadily at a moderate CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period. The stringent government discharge laws regarding the wastewater sludge from chemical plants and processing plants has intensified the use of biosolids. Biosolids have a crucial potential value in terms of the overall expense of biosolids management. They are used as a waste product and offer an eco-friendly method for substituting the chemical fertilizers. People are becoming more aware about the benefits of biosolids and similar organic products, predominantly in agricultural production. The growing recognition and support for the beneficial use of biosolids will significantly propel the growth of this market over the next four years.
The growing agricultural activities across the globe will result in the increased adoption of biosolids in the agricultural sector. At present, the use of biosolids is popular only in the developed economies such as, Europe and the Americas. However, the developing countries offer a massive opportunity for the vendors to grow mainly due to their vast agricultural activities. The growing application of biosolids solutions to meet multiple objectives in agricultural and non-agricultural land applications and their ability to provide environmental sustainability will push the overall market growth during the forecast period.
The global biosolids market is projected to grow at a moderate pace over the next four years. The rapid consumption of biosolids in agricultural and non-agricultural applications across the globe and the emerging applications related to energy, makes it a promising market. Key vendors dominate the market in terms of their geographical reach, product innovations, pricing, and quality. To gain a competitive edge over their peers, the market players are focusing on the formulation of application-specific biosolids. Competition in the market is expected to intensify during the forecast period due to the entry of various chemical giants.

Agricultural land application possesses the largest share in the biosolids market and is anticipated to occupy more than 59% of the total market share by 2020. The two key agricultural land applications are fertilizers and soil conditioners for food crops and fodder crops. Crop fertilizer is the major application of biosolids in agriculture land applications. The valuable uses of biosolids in agricultural land applications include areas such as fertilizer and soil amendment, manufactured soils, compost production, and erosion control. The segment is likely to grow at a CAGR of more than 5% during the predicted period.
North America will continue its dominance in the biosolids market during the forecast period and is likely to occupy more than 43% of the overall market revenue by 2020. Much of the region’s growth comes from the US, which is the largest biosolids producing country across the globe. Owing to stringent environmental safeguards on effluent disposal, water recycling has become very prominent in the region leading to the generation of biosolids. Moreover, growing concerns over wastewater treatment will also result in the generation of massive volumes of biosolids in the region in the coming years.
