Biodiesel Market: Global Industry Analysis, Trends, Market Size & Forecasts up to 2023

Biodiesel Market: Global Industry Analysis, Trends, Market Size & Forecasts up to 2023

Report Code: CM0132 Category: Chemicals & Materials Published: August, 2017

Biodiesel is a renewable transportation fuel consisting of fatty acid methyl esters, generally produced by transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel similar to conventional fossil diesel. Almost all biodiesel is produced using base-catalyzed transesterification as it is the most economical process requiring only low temperatures and pressures. Biodiesel has many environmentally beneficial properties such as carbon neutral, renewable sources of energy, and density of biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel fuels are used in a wide variety of applications ranging from fuel to power generation and solvents & cement manufacturing.

Market Insights

The global biodiesel market was sized over USD 32.95 billion in 2015. The global biodiesel market is projected to grow with a CAGR between 3.5% and 4.0% during 2017-2023 and reach USD 43.26 billion by 2023. The global biodiesel market is primarily driven by the motives of concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change coupled with a desire for renewable and sustainable energy sources. Moreover, increasing demand for biodiesel fuels form end-user applications such as railway, aircraft, marine, heating oil, cleaning and generators will drive the global biodiesel market over the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing demand for biodiesel fuel to replace conventional fossil fuel in commercial, automotive and power generation is anticipated to drive the biodiesel market globally over the forecast period. However, volatility in raw material prices required for the production of biodiesel and the unavailability of raw materials will restrain the growth of the global biodiesel market. Nevertheless, increasing investment in R&D activities from the government in the feedstock and growing focus in developing domestic & more secure fuel supplies from key players will bring more opportunities in the biodiesel market globally over the forecast period.
