Biorefinery Products and Applications: Global Markets

  • PDF Icon

    Report

  • 159 Pages
  • December 2025
  • Region: Global
  • BCC Research
  • ID: 5987093
The global market for biorefinery products and applications is expected to grow from $582 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $887.6 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

Biorefinery products, including biofuels, biomaterials and biochemicals, are crucial for the transition to renewable energy. This is mainly attributed to the ecological damage caused by the use of conventional energy sources, such as coal and fossil fuels, for energy generation, transportation and other industrial and non-industrial applications. Bio-based products can be used as a carbon-free substitute for fossil fuels. In recent years, the global focus on sustainability has resulted in a significant increase in government and regulatory support for the biorefinery industry, encouraging both producers and consumers to adopt bio-based products despite higher initial investments. This regulatory push can be witnessed in terms of subsidies for projects supporting bio-based products, penalties for noncompliance with blending mandates and production credits. Such regulations include the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III).
