Biomass Logistics Service Global Market Report 2025

The biomass logistics service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.01 billion in 2024 to $4.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to greater availability of biomass in rural areas, growing demand from industrial heating applications, increased adoption of waste-to-energy technologies, a stronger focus on circular economy initiatives, and the expanding commercialization of biofuels.

The biomass logistics service market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of biomass-based heating systems, greater conversion of agricultural residues into energy, expanded use of forestry by-products, a rise in cross-border biomass trade, and heightened research and development efforts aimed at improving biomass efficiency. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in digital tracking of biomass supply chains, enhanced automation in loading and unloading operations, innovations in biomass storage solutions, development of multimodal transport options, and the integration of renewable energy into logistics processes.

The rising adoption of renewable energy sources is expected to propel the growth of the biomass logistics service market going forward. Renewable energy sources refer to energy obtained from naturally replenishing resources such as sunlight, wind, water, and biomass, which can be used repeatedly without depleting the planet’s reserves. The adoption of renewable energy sources is increasing as countries worldwide focus on cutting carbon emissions to combat climate change and ensure a stable, secure energy supply for the future. Biomass logistics services support renewable energy by efficiently managing the collection, transportation, storage, and preprocessing of organic materials, ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply of biomass feedstock. This enables power plants, biorefineries, and other renewable energy facilities to operate reliably while reducing dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. For instance, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of the energy consumed in the EU in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. Therefore, the rising adoption of renewable energy sources is driving the growth of the biomass logistics service market.

Major companies operating in the biomass logistics service market are focusing on strategic investments to enhance biofuel production and expand their supply chain capabilities. These investments drive market growth by increasing funding for research and development, allowing companies to optimize biofuel production and supply chain operations, adopt advanced technologies for storage, transportation, and processing, improve efficiency and reliability across the biomass value chain, and expand capacity to meet growing global demand for sustainable energy solutions. For example, in June 2022, BiofuelCircle Private Limited, an India-based digital platform for biomass and biofuels, secured $0.75 million in its second seed funding round led by Spectrum Impact, Better Capital, and other investors. The funding is being used to expand operations across India, enhance its digital marketplace, support over 50 biomass-based products, and strengthen supply chain services such as warehousing and logistics, thereby improving efficiency, reliability, and accessibility in the biomass-to-biofuel ecosystem. The platform connects customers, sellers, and service providers through its three-way online marketplace, optimizing biomass flow, reducing waste, promoting a circular economy, and empowering rural communities through employment generation and increased economic value of agricultural residues.

In April 2025, DSV A/S, a Denmark-based transport and logistics company, acquired Schenker AG for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to strengthen DSV’s global logistics network and expand its service portfolio by leveraging Schenker’s expertise in freight forwarding and supply chain management. This integration enhances operational efficiency, fosters innovation in logistics solutions, and delivers greater value and reliability to customers. Schenker AG is a Germany-based supply chain management company that provides services for biomass logistics.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.
