The global biogas market size attained a value of approximately USD 69.37 Billion in 2024 . The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 6.40%, reaching a value of around USD 129.00 Billion by 2034 .
Increasing demand for energy at a global level, fuelled by rising population and growing industrialisation are surging the demand for biogas as more countries and industries switch to renewable energy. In comparison to other renewable energy sources, biogas offers an added benefit of utilising waste products while also generating energy, further expanding the biogas market. In addition, biogas generation is independent of weather and geographical factors, due to which it can be generated at any location and any time, offering greater flexibility to manufacturers. The storable and transportable nature of biogas also enhances its suitability for targeted applications, which is expected to support the growth of the market for biogas in the coming years.
The initiatives of various governments promoting biogas for cleaner and greener transportation are crucial trends in the market. Research to upgrade biogas production is anticipated to decrease biogas production costs for vehicle fuel, which is projected to aid the biogas market over the forecast period.
Biogas is an energy source with a determinate energy value, is easy to store, and can be used independent of location or geographical conditions, thereby bolstering the market. The initiatives of various governments in support of biogas production, such as subsidies for setting up biogas plants, are also contributing to the growth of the market for biogas. Efforts taken by market players in increasing the production of biogas and advancements in biogas production technologies are expected to augment the market over the forecast period.

Rising Use Biogas Derivatives in Vehicle Fuel to Propel the Market Growth of Biogas
Based on application, the vehicle fuel segment is driving the biogas market growth. The transport sector accounts for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions. The use of biogas after it is upgraded as biomethane, reduces harmful emissions and is also a way to manage the solid waste generated by growing populations. The use of biogas-derived biomethane as a fuel also reduces the dependence on fossil fuels and petroleum sources, thereby expanding the market for biogas. As a renewable energy source, biogas is readily available which is supporting the strong growth of the automobile sector.The initiatives of various governments promoting biogas for cleaner and greener transportation are crucial trends in the market. Research to upgrade biogas production is anticipated to decrease biogas production costs for vehicle fuel, which is projected to aid the biogas market over the forecast period.
Market Segmentation
