The wood pellets segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
The market encompasses various segments, with wood pellets holding the largest share in 2023. Wood pellets, derived from sawdust or other woody biomass, are cylindrical in shape and used extensively in industrial boilers as an eco-friendly alternative to natural gas and coal. They are also employed in thermal and gasification Power Generation. Renewable energy promotion initiatives by governments and the increasing adoption of wood pellets as a fuel source in industries, particularly power, are driving the segment's growth. Sustainability standards and emission standards are crucial factors influencing the market. Lignocellulosic biomass, wood waste, forest residues, and agricultural residues are significant sources of wood fuels.
Wood processing, energy management, and smart grid technologies are essential for optimizing the wood fuels supply chain's efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Biomass certification and energy storage solutions ensure the sustainability of wood fuels and their compatibility with renewable energy systems. Heating systems, including pellet, log, and biomass boilers, as well as heat pumps, contribute to the market's growth. Wood drying, pelletizing, and carbon capture technologies enhance combustion efficiency and minimize air pollution. The energy sector's transition towards renewable energy sources and the increasing focus on sustainability are key trends shaping the market. Wood-fired power plants, biomass gasification, and biomass boilers are integral components of this transition.
Wood briquettes and wood chips are alternative wood fuel forms gaining popularity due to their thermal efficiency. Government incentives and subsidies for renewable energy and sustainable energy solutions further boost the market's growth. The market's future potential lies in the integration of wood fuels with solar thermal and electricity generation, as well as energy storage solutions.
The Wood pellets segment was valued at USD 7.00 billion in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.
Europe is estimated to contribute 59% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The market is experiencing significant growth due to renewable fuel mandates and the need to reduce carbon emissions.
