Biorefinery Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Biorefinery Market size was valued at USD 140.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow to USD 268.62 billion by 2030 and grow at a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period of 2023-2030.

Biorefinery is the sustainable processing facility or network of facilities that involve the conversion of biomass into value-added products such as transportation biofuels, biopower, biochemicals, and other biomaterials. This sustainable process facility converts biomass into new green, clean, and environment-friendly products. Raw materials used for the biorefinery process come only from renewable sources. But biorefinery is a complex and slow conversion process that has high recovery costs. This type of process also has technical limitations and a low adoption rate.

Biorefinery processes promote the use of biofuels and biomaterials instead of fossil fuels which helps to limit greenhouse gas emissions and protect the climate from the hazardous effects of carbon footprint. Biorefinery is a very attractive process for the conversion of waste biomass into valuable products.

Impact of COVID-19

The global biorefinery market witnessed a severe drop in production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the reduced fuel demand with stringent lockdown restrictions drops the production rate of biofuel by about 11.7%. During the Covid-19 pandemic, World Bioenergy Association witnessed the reduced or even termination of new investment in the bioenergy sector due to the uncertainty in the situation which delay the decision about new investment and ultimately affected the biorefinery process. The visible reduction in demand for transportation fuel due to the strict lockdown the use of biofuels also decreased which impacted the biorefinery market severely.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Emerging use of biomass for a variety of applications

  • Rising demand for clean and renewable energy sources

  • Increasing adoption of greener technologies

  • Increasing consumption of energy due to rapid industrialization

  • Increasing awareness regarding reducing greenhouse gas emission

To curb the carbon footprint use of fossil fuels should be reduced and the use of renewable energy sources should be increased. The government is taking the initiative to invest in clean fuels which increases the adoption of greener technologies. Nowadays biomass is used widely in various sectors to fulfill the energy, chemical, and power demand. All these factors support the growth of the biorefinery market significantly. 

Restrain

  • Stringent restriction on selecting feedstock type

Opportunities

  • Rapid advancement in biorefinery technologies

  • Increase in the investment by the government in cleaner fuel

Challenges

  • Fluctuating feedstock prices

The high cost of biomass and volatile feedstock prices hampers the biorefinery market growth significantly. The cost of feedstock decides the cost of final biofuels and other biomaterials. For the high production capacity, consistent quality of feedstock is required. Biomass needed to be stored before being sent to the biorefinery processes. So, to keep biomass as it is the feedstock quality should be great. All these factors led to an increase in the price of feedstock which further challenges the biorefinery market.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War:

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a significant impact on various industries, including the biorefinery market. The war has disrupted the supply chain of biomass, which has affected the production and profitability of biorefineries. The biorefinery market is highly dependent on the availability and cost of biomass feedstocks, such as agricultural residues, forestry residues, and energy crops.

Ukraine is one of the largest producers of biomass in Europe, and its conflict with Russia has disrupted the supply of biomass to biorefineries in the region. The transportation of biomass has become more difficult and expensive due to the conflict, which has led to a shortage of feedstocks and increased prices. Furthermore, the war has also affected the investment climate in the region. The political instability and economic uncertainty have made it difficult for biorefinery companies to secure funding for their projects. Investors are hesitant to invest in the region due to the risk of political and economic instability, which has slowed down the growth of the biorefinery market.

Impact of Recession:

The biorefinery market has been significantly affected by the recent economic recession. The downturn in the global economy has led to a decrease in demand for biofuels and other biorefinery products. This has resulted in a decline in the profitability of biorefinery companies and a slowdown in the growth of the industry. Despite these challenges, there are still opportunities for the biorefinery market to thrive in the current economic climate. One of the key factors that will determine the success of biorefinery companies is government support for the biorefinery industry. Many countries have implemented policies and incentives to encourage the development of renewable energy sources, including biofuels. These initiatives can help to stimulate demand for biorefinery products and create a more favorable business environment for companies in the industry.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
