The demand for the biodiesel market is increasing in the market owing to growing awareness among people regarding depletion of non-renewable energy sources coupled with depletion in natural resources. To cater to the increasing demand for clean energy there is a need to integrate biodiesel (renewable energy) source fuel with the other sources of energy. Also, the increasing population all across the globe demand green and clean energy sources, and hence the demand for biodiesel industry increases in the market.
The demand for biodiesel is increasing constantly in the market during the forecasted period owing to stringent rules, regulations, and government policies regarding the use of green and clean energy sources provide various growth opportunities for the biodiesel market in the market. Moreover, biodiesel is the only renewable source of energy available so it has great potential for growth during the forecasted period in the market. Therefore, such factors related to biodiesel have enhanced the Biodiesel market CAGR across the globe in recent years.
The Biodiesel market segmentation, based on type, includes Methanol, Biohydrogen and Cellulosic Ethanol. The Cellulosic Ethanol segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing to the Biodiesel market revenue. This is because cellulosic biodiesel has several advantages over other types of biodiesel. It is made from non-edible plant materials, which means that it does not compete with food crops for land and resources. Additionally, cellulosic biodiesel has a higher energy content than traditional biodiesel, which means that it is more efficient and cost-effective to use. Furthermore, it has lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional biodiesel, making it a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option. Due to these advantages, the demand for cellulosic biodiesel is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
Based on application, the Biodiesel market segmentation includes Off Grid Electricity Supply and Transportation. The transportation segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. This is because biodiesel is a clean-burning and renewable alternative fuel that can be used in existing diesel engines without the need for any major modifications. This makes it an attractive option for transportation, especially in the commercial and heavy-duty vehicle sectors. However, this application is not as widely adopted as transportation, as it is more limited in terms of the availability of biodiesel feedstocks and the cost of producing biodiesel in small quantities. These all factors for Biodiesel positively impact the market growth.
