The exploration of third-generation biofuels is a significant trend in the market. Unlike first-generation biofuels from vegetable oil and animal fats, and second-generation biofuels from feedstock, third-generation biofuels are derived from algae, offering various advantages over other sources. Algae-derived biofuels include biodiesel, butanol, gasoline, methane, ethanol, vegetable oil, and jet fuels, providing higher quality and greater yield. The cultivation of microalgae for biofuel production, with its high lipid content, further expands the potential of sustainable aviation fuel, driving growth in the market during the forecast period. The integration of these advanced fuels with cutting-edge technology is expected to play a crucial role in the expansion of the sustainable aviation fuel market.
The biofuel segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. There has been a focus by regulatory bodies like grading aircraft based on carbon emissions and pollution to reduce emissions by the aviation industry. Hence there has been an increasing focus by aircraft and aircraft component manufacturers to reduce aircraft emissions, which is likely to result in the growth of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market. Various stakeholders are involved in making the energy requirements of the aviation industry sustainable. They include the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) which are working to make sustainable aviation biofuel more commercially viable.

North America is estimated to contribute 39% 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 robust aviation base in North America and the global demand for new aircraft has resulted in substantial investment in manufacturing more efficient aircraft systems. This is likely to have an impact on the SAF market in the region, especially in the US. The US is predicted to be the global leader in integrated biorefinery manufacture that can generate bio-based jet fuel and marine distillates. To improve the economic viability and expand R and D into the SAF Market, incentives like special category loans, grants, and funds have been used. This support has expanded research in the sustainable aviation fuel market and expanded the viability of the SAF market by improving biodiesel quality. Additionally, due to the high market rates of biodiesel, the government provides subsidies and other incentives for its usage. All these factors are likely to result in the growth of the sustainable aviation fuel market during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted the sustainable aviation fuel market in the region. Various non-essential and non-urgent manufacturing of consumable fuels were closed and this negatively impacted the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market. However, after large-scale vaccination drives initiated in governments, there was a resumption of operations of manufacturing plants. Hence it is predicted there will be further market growth during the forecast period.
Favorable government policies are driving the market growth for sustainable aviation fuels. Environmental and energy security concerns have increased the demand for renewable fuels like cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel. Governments in countries such as Germany and India are actively promoting their use through targets and incentives. For instance, the EU's Renewable Energy Directive aims for 10% of transportation energy from renewables by 2020. Tax credits and grants further incentivize adoption, leading to increased production and consumption of sustainable aviation fuels globally. This trend is expected to continue driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The market growth is hindered by the higher cost of production compared to conventional fuels. Current technology for sustainable aviation fuel production is inefficient and not economical, requiring a more sustainable and efficient processing technique. Electric vehicles are considered a more economical and sustainable alternative, posing challenges for sustainable aviation fuels in carbon emission reduction. The ever-dynamic energy landscape and high costs of sustainable aviation fuels are impeding market growth during the forecast period.
