Key Findings

  • The global market for biorefinery products and applications was valued at $582 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach $887.6 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% from 2025 through 2030.
  • The global market for biofuels was valued at $151 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach $194.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2025 through 2030.
  • The global market for wood waste recycling was valued at $14.6 billion in 2025 and is estimated to reach $19.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6% from 2025 through 2030.

Research Review Scope

The report provides insights into the energy vertical, which covers power and fuels, environment, water and membrane technologies, hydrogen and fuel cells and industrial energy management, with connections to adjacent sectors such as food and manufacturing. Analysts track how policy incentives and offtake contracts are converting pipeline intent into real capacity, how advanced separations (membranes, depth media, single-use systems) are enhancing yields and compliance, and how digital tools, including AI for forecasting, fouling prediction and process control, are reducing unit energy and water use. The analysis compares cost and carbon curves across regions, maps bottlenecks in feedstock logistics and permitting and benchmarks supplier reliability and localization strategies. This resulted in the opportunity being strongest where circular feedstocks meet proven purification, verified sustainability metrics and long-term demand, turning decarbonization goals into investable, operations-ready projects across fuels, recycling infrastructure and high-purity manufacturing. For a deeper analysis across these areas, offerings are designed to meet the varied needs of readers, including syndicated market research reports, custom studies, data reports and dashboards, trackers (for policy, projects and technology) and analyst briefings.
