Wood Pellets Market Report Scope & Overview:

The Wood Pellets Market size was valued at USD 9.12 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 14.35 billion by 2031 and grow at a CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period of 2024-2031.

Wood bark is finely powdered to create wood pellets, which are tiny, cylindrical bits that range in diameter from 5 to 10 mm and are 10 to 20 mm long. Due of their compact and fixed structure, they are frequently employed as fuel by mechanically fed into burners. However, energy is used during the drying and grinding of wood barks to create wood pellets. As a result, wood pellets have a lower output-to-input energy ratio than wood chips, but they may still be utilised in residential buildings and burned effectively in relatively small stoves. In order to increase the usage of wood pellets as a major energy source, the energy efficiency of the systems used to produce them must be increased.

MARKET DYNAMICS

KEY DRIVERS:

  • Increasing demand for a sustainable fuel across the world

  • Demand for popularity of wood pellets

A solid biomass fuel made from wood waste and agricultural byproducts is known as wood pellets. The source of renewable energy is bioenergy fuels are also in high demand. These fuels include ethanol, biodiesel, wood, biogas, solid waste, and agricultural goods.

RESTRAIN:

  • Alternate Fuel Availability

 The Scrap wood, grasses, straws, maize stalks, even paper and cardboard are crushed into wood pellets, a sustainable commodity, to generate compact, pellet-like shapes. There are still alternative sources for energy that might be categorized as renewable, despite the fact that these pellets are decided to be sustainable and produce less emissions than their fuels.

OPPORTUNITY: 

  • Need of replacement of Fossil Fuel

The need for fossil fuels is growing along with the demand for energy. Around 85% of energy is utilised worldwide comes from fossil fuels, n on renewable sources like coal, natural gas, and petroleum that release their sorted energy by burning. Therefore, the substitution of fossil fuels may present a chance for market expansion.

CHALLENGES:

  • Availability of Alternative Energy sources in Market

IMPACT OF RUSSIAN UKRAINE WAR

The wood pellets 12–15% of the world's supply has come from Belarus and Russia in recent years. Even before Russia invaded Ukraine, there was a severe shortage of wood pellets on the world market. The price of wood pellets has increased dramatically over the past 12 months due to a number of variables, including recent severe weather, container shortages, and rising transportation expenses.

The EU has substituted woody biomass imports from the U.S. and Eastern Europe for Russian supply. Others, however, assert that trade data and paper trails show a breach of the EU embargo, with possible flows of cleaned Russian wood pellets through Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan to many EU countries.

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

A large portion of the recent rise in domestic wood pellet production started during the Great Recession and at a period when fossil fuel costs were high. In contrast to Europe, where wood pellets are most frequently burnt in furnaces, space heating with wood pellets most frequently takes place in stoves in American houses, usually as a backup to another major heating source. In addition to being utilised for energy, wood pellets may also be used as bedding for animals. We saw an increase in pellet production in the northeastern and midwestern United States to meet home demand as wood pellets have emerged in the United States as a cost-competitive alternative to traditional heating sources. Additionally, domestic expansion has happened due to technology advancements and economic

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.
