Biorefinery Market to Hit $887.6 Billion by 2030

“Biorefineries: The Backbone of the Bioeconomy, Driving Decarbonization and Energy Transition Through Advanced Technologies and Next-Generation Feedstocks”

Boston, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the latest BCC Research report, “Biorefinery Products and Applications: Global Markets” is expected to grow from $582 billion in 2025 to $887.6 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global biorefinery products market, segmented by source, product, application, and region. It includes competitive intelligence by estimating market shares of leading companies based on their product offerings and revenues. The report examines market dynamics, emerging technologies, global developments, and regulatory frameworks that ensure sustainability and compliance. Additionally, it explores the technical and commercial aspects of biorefinery sources and end-use applications, while analyzing macroeconomic forces, ESG factors, and Porter’s Five Forces to offer a holistic view of industry trends and challenges.

The factors driving the market include:

Agricultural Sector Fueling Biorefinery Feedstock Resources: The agricultural industry provides essential biomass for biorefineries, including crops like corn, sugarcane, and oilseeds, as well as crop residues. This ensures a steady supply of raw materials, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and creates additional income opportunities for farmers.

Demand for Non-Energetic Bioproducts: There is rising demand for bio-based products such as bioplastics, chemicals, and cosmetics. These products support sustainability goals and cater to industries like packaging and personal care, offering higher value compared to biofuels.

Use of Agro-Biomass and Non-Food Feedstocks: Biorefineries increasingly use non-food biomass like crop residues, forestry waste, and energy crops to avoid competing with food supply. This approach promotes a circular economy and addresses food security concerns.
