Industrial Wood Pellet Market Segmental Analysis

Global industrial wood pellet market is segmented based on the feedstock, application, and region. Based on feedstock, the market is segmented into forest waste, and agricultural waste. Based on application, the industrial wood pellet market is segmented into power generation, and combined heat & power (CHP). Based on region, it is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.

Analysis by Feedstock

Based on feedstock, global industrial wood pellet market is segmented into forest waste, and agricultural waste. The forest waste segment is predicted to capture the market during the forecast period as by-products from laboriously managed forests are the main cause of producing industrial wood pellets. Moreover, the large portion of these by-products is from traditional forestry operations including sawmills, and others.

Analysis by Application

Based on application, the industrial wood pellet market is segmented into power generation, and combined heat & power (CHP). The power generation segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share. The industrial wood pellets are better for the environment as compared to coal or any other fossil fuels that legacy power plants utilized to produce electricity.

The combined heat & power (CHP) segment is anticipated to grow at a healthy pace during the forecasting timeline owing to the voluntary target within the updated Renewable Energy Directive for the member states for increasing renewable energy in heating, and cooling by 1.32 percentage per year, that will further create business opportunities for heating purposes.

Industrial Wood Pellet Market Regional Insights

Europe is anticipated to capture the global industrial wood pellet market during the forecast period. Increasing consumption rate of pellet-based energy in the U.K. is propelling the wood pellets growth in the region. The high demand from large-scale power plants for wood pellets in the U.K., Belgium, and the Netherlands may boost the demand in the region as residential applications of pellets is insignificant.

North America is anticipated to grow substantially during the anticipated period due to the growing residential demand from the United States, increasing substitutes of traditional burners for developing automatic feed-in & comfort. However, Canada is growing at a healthy pace due to increasing usage in the residential heating and power plants sector.

Asia Pacific is, however, estimated to hold a considerable market share during the anticipated timeline thanks to the increasing growth rate of wood pellets from China, South Korea, and Japan in the region. The demand for wood pellets is boosting the power plants for electricity generation and may significantly grow due to the increasing number of power plants in the region.
