Growing environmental concerns, largely about plastic pollution, act as a major impetus to the growth of the pyrolysis oil market. According to the latest analysis by SkyQuest, around 14 million tons of plastics flow into the world's oceans annually, which is highly hazardous to aquatic life and the associated ecosystems. This is a shocking statistic and thus points to the rising need for efficient solutions to reduce the nasty effects of plastic wastes on the environment. Reacting to these disturbing projections, many people are starting to realize the imperative need to embracing feasible waste management techniques and substitutes for traditional plastics. 

Increasing focus on sustainable waste management: Since pyrolysis is a process of thermal decomposition, it has the most propitious solution for treating wastes of various forms. Nowadays, with the trend being towards sustainability, the adoption of pyrolysis technology increases due to the related benefits in changing wastes into useful resources in the form of fuel, chemicals, and raw materials. Through this, it diverts wastes from landfills and incinerators, minimizes environmental pollution, and enhances resource efficiency. This trend is further compounded by regulations and initiatives of governments, forcing and encouraging sustainable practices in the waste management setup, thus providing opportunities for companies operating in pyrolysis to expand operations in environmentally friendly solutions.

North America dominates with 39.36% of the global market share in the pyrolysis oil market, and several factors are contributing to this. The infrastructure, technology, and green developmental initiative are well set in the region. The US and Canada have been pioneering in adopting pyrolysis technology for waste materials conversion into valuable products such as pyrolysis oil. The US presents a fairly stable CAGR of 4.48%, hence one can say that the market is quite potent, once again; Canada charts glorious growth with a CAGR of 3.73% from 2024 to 2031. Other than the existence of strict regulation on environmental grounds and respective government support for renewable sources of energy, demand for pyrolysis oil in North America has further been driven.
