The increasing use of biomass fuels is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as logistical challenges in recycling waste wood may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Wood Recycling Market Driver
The increasing use of biomass fuels is notably driving the wood recycling market growth. Governments across the world are focusing on reducing GHG emissions. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the Climate Change Act of 2008 have set targets for reducing emissions. These regulations have led to the use of alternatives such as bioenergy. Biomass is derived from wood and wood processing wastes. It is carbon-neutral, which helps reduce environmental pollution.
Favorable policies, subsidies, and tax incentives have encouraged the development of biomass as a fuel. The growing need for renewable energy sources has led governments to improve biogas production, as fossil fuels are depleting gradually. The adoption of wood-based biomass energy has increased, as it is a renewable and sustainable energy source. Thus, the increasing use of biomass fuel for power generation worldwide will fuel the growth of the global wood recycling market during the forecast period.
Significant Wood Recycling Market Trend
The change in recycling targets of wood packaging in Europe is a key trend influencing the wood recycling market growth. Wood packaging materials include pallets, pallet collars, boxes, containers, bins, drums, reels, load boards, dunnage, cases, crates, and skids. These materials are used across industries such as food and heavy machinery for transportation purposes. Wood packaging materials can be reused and recycled, which reduces the number of trees being cut.
The EU has set targets for the recycling of wood packaging materials for other types of waste. The target for recycling wood packaging materials was set at 60% of the overall wood packaging material waste by 2025 and 75% by 2030. However, according to the latest proposals in March 2018, the targets were reduced significantly. The change in targets was influenced by several countries in the EU, which reuse wood packaging materials multiple times and then recover the energy during the end-of-life of these materials. Moreover, biomass producers receive subsidies for energy generation using waste products, including wood packaging materials. These factors will affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Wood Recycling Market Challenge
Logistical challenges in recycling waste wood may impede the wood recycling market growth. Recycling wood and wood products is complex when compared to other available alternatives, such as dumping wood, paper, and cardboard after usage. Recovered wood, paper, and cardboard do not yield high-profit margins. In countries such as the US and Australia, transportation accounts for a large share of the recycling process, which further reduces profit margins.
Road transport is the primary mode of transportation for wood recycling, which is time-consuming and has low capacity. Waste wood and wood products are prone to moisture, dampness, or insect attacks during storage or transportation. Protection from these conditions can lead to further degradation in quality, which directly affects the quality of the output. Therefore, logistical issues as well as storage and transportation complexities associated with waste wood product recycling are expected to hinder the growth of the global wood recycling market during the forecast period.

The wood panels segment was valued at USD 12.49 billion in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Key players are investing significantly in R&D as well as in partnerships and collaborations with other players. This is expected to increase the demand for recycled wood panels during the forecast period. The use of recycled wood panels reduces the need for virgin wood. Hence, the rise in demand for recycled wood panels will be fueled by the increasing demand for eco-friendly goods. These factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 44% 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 growth of the market in APAC is driven by factors such as a large population base and the increase in purchasing power of people in developing countries such as China and India. Rapid urbanization and a significant increase in literacy rate have fueled the demand for paper, including recycled paper. Moreover, owing to the high consumption of paper, cardboard, and wood products, the growth potential for the wood recycling market in the region is high. These factors will positively impact the growth of the market in APAC.
This report forecasts the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the market. In addition, we have included the COVID-19 impact and the recovery strategies for each segment. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the regional wood recycling industry in 2020, which led to disruptions in supply chains, a decline in demand for recycled products of wood, and a halt in production activities. However, the market started to rebound with the rise in vaccination rates from 2021. In 2021 and 2022, the demand for recycled wood products increased owing to the resumption of business activities in sectors such as packaging, household goods, and newsprint. The focus on sustainability and environmental awareness are also driving the demand for these products. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
