The Global Wood Pellet Market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.80%, from US$16.684 billion in 2025 to US$24.293 billion in 2030.
Wood pellets have become a promising renewable energy source, effectively replacing coal, particularly in Europe and North America. The wood pellet market has experienced substantial global growth, driven by increasing demand for both large-scale industrial applications in power plants and small-scale applications in residential heating systems. This growth is supported by government policies and incentives promoting renewable energy, as well as technological advancements in pellet production.
Market Growth Drivers
- Environmental Concerns and GHG Emission Regulations: The wood pellet market is gaining traction due to its low carbon footprint. Growing global concerns about environmental sustainability are driving demand, with governments and organizations implementing measures to reduce GHG emissions. The limited availability and environmental impact of non-renewable resources necessitate a shift to alternative, eco-friendly power sources.
- Government Renewable Energy Targets: Governments worldwide are setting targets to transition to renewable energy sources.
- Austria aims to achieve 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
- France is committed to cutting GHG emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.
- The Philippines has pledged to reduce carbon emissions from transportation, energy, waste, forestry, and industry by 70% by 2030.
- Investment in Research and Development: Market players are actively engaged in R&D to enhance wood pellet manufacturing efficiency and gain a competitive edge. This includes developing advanced pellet mill designs for high yield and optimizing fuel input, as well as conducting research to produce high-calorific wood pellets from available feedstock.
Geographical Outlook
- Europe: Europe holds a major share of the global wood pellet market. EU Biomass policies, such as the EU's Renewable Energy Directive and Renewable Energy Directive II, contribute to this dominance. In 2023, the EU consumed an estimated 24.5 million metric tons of wood pellets and is projected to consume 25.5 million metric tons in 2024. As of 2021, the EU had 774 wood pellet plants, up from 630 in 2016. Stringent environmental regulations, efforts to achieve emission targets, and supportive government initiatives also drive market expansion in Europe.
- North America: North America is increasing its wood pellet consumption due to regional price competitiveness with propane and residential heating oil. The rapid replacement of traditional burners for improved feed-in is also spurring demand.
- Asia-Pacific: The Asia-Pacific (APAC) wood pellet market is projected to experience significant growth, fueled by favorable government policies promoting wood pellet use for power generation and an increasing number of power plants. The rising focus on renewable energy in APAC countries is further propelling regional market growth.
- South America: South America is also expected to witness considerable growth, driven by rising investments in the forestry sector, which will increase the availability of raw materials and positively impact wood pellet production.
- Middle East and Africa: The Middle East and Africa will also grow, driven by rising demand for wood pellets for residential cooking in South Africa, and government efforts to reduce reliance on coal-fired plants
