概述
全球木顆粒市場在 2023 年達到 95 億美元,預計到 2031 年將達到 157 億美元,2024-2031 年預測期間CAGR為 6.4%。
由於對再生能源和永續實踐的需求不斷增加,全球木屑顆粒市場出現了顯著成長。由各種木材廢料製成的木顆粒和壓縮生質能顆粒正在成為用於生產熱能和電力的傳統化石燃料的有競爭力的替代品。
2022 年,歐盟消耗了 2,480 萬噸木屑顆粒,創下新紀錄,這主要是由於國內使用量的增加。基於第三項再生能源指令的實施以及成員國補貼推動的住宅市場的持續成長,預計2023年歐盟消費量將達到25.6 MMT。
過去十年,歐盟對顆粒的需求遠超過當地供應,導致進口增加,主要來自美國、俄羅斯、白俄羅斯和烏克蘭。 2022年,歐盟進口木屑顆粒價值為5.89 MMT,即13.2億美元。因此,歐洲為全球市場的成長做出了巨大貢獻,佔據了全球近1/3的市場。
動力學
擴大全球市場出口
隨著製造業的增加,市場上的木顆粒供應量增加。可用性的增強有助於滿足國家和全球範圍內對木顆粒不斷成長的需求。生產商可以透過出口木顆粒進入其他市場來擴大消費群。這減少了對特定市場的依賴,並有助於限制當地需求變化或法規調整帶來的風險。生產商可以透過接觸更廣泛的市場來提高銷售和獲利能力。
例如,根據美國農業部對外農業服務局的數據,2023 年 12 月從美國出口的木顆粒總量為 917,175.4 噸。 2022年全年出口量為898萬噸。 12 月美國木屑顆粒出口總額為 1.5295 億美元,高於 2021 年 12 月的 1.0107 億美元和上個月的 1.2094 億美元。
新技術的推出提高托盤效率
使用新技術可以簡化木顆粒的生產,提高生產率並降低成本。市場的成長可能源自於產量的增加和成本的降低。技術進步可以利用永續來源生產木顆粒或提高生產過程的永續性。
例如,2022 年 4 月,為了擴大或提高木屑顆粒機的生產率,自動化系統、顆粒機和製粒設備供應商 CPM 引進了新技術。經過十年的研究,該公司開發了其專有的雙軌技術,以節省能源消耗,確保穩定的顆粒品質並提高磨機產能。
監管挑戰
有關排放、環境永續性和森林管理技術的多項法律和準則適用於木屑顆粒業務。遵守這些法規可能會導致生產費用增加和特定領域的市場准入受到限制。
例如,有關碳排放、森林砍伐和永續林業方法的規則可能會影響原料的供應,並提高木屑顆粒公司的生產成本。此外,國家和地區之間的監管差異可能會使在多個市場營運的企業的情況變得複雜,從而阻礙其擴張能力。
Overview
Global Wood Pellets Market reached US$ 9.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 15.7 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The global wood pellet market had a significant upsurge due to the increasing demand for renewable energy sources and sustainable practice. Wood pellets and compressed biomass particles manufactured from a range of wood scraps are becoming a competitive alternative to traditional fossil fuels for the production of heat and power.
The EU consumed 24.8 Million Metric Tons of wood pellets in 2022, reaching a new record mostly because of rising domestic use. Based on the implementation of the third Renewable Energy Directive and the continued growth of the residential markets bolstered by Member State subsidies, it is anticipated that EU consumption will reach 25.6 MMT in 2023.
Over past ten years, the EU's demand for pellets has far exceeded local supply, leading to an increase in imports, primarily from US, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. In 2022, the EU imported wood pellets valued at 5.89 MMT or US$ 1.32 billion. Therefore, the Europe is contributing significantly to the growth of the global market with capturing nearly 1/3rd of the global market share.
Dynamics
Export Expansion in the Global Market
There is more of a supply of wood pellets on the market as manufacturing increases. The augmented availability can aid in meeting the escalating need for wood pellets on a national and global scale. Producers can expand their consumer base by tapping into other markets by exporting wood pellets. The lessens reliance on a particular market and helps to limit the risks put on by variations in local demand or adjustments to regulations. Producers can increase sales and profitability by reaching out to a wider range of marketplaces.
For instance, As per USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, the total amount of wood pellets exported from U.S. in December 2023 was 917,175.4 metric Tons. For the entire year 2022, 8.98 million metric Tons were exported. US wood pellet exports totaled US$ 152.95 million in December, up from US$ 101.07 million in December 2021 and US$ 120.94 million the month before.
New Technology Launches to Enhance Pallet Efficiency
The production of wood pellets can be streamlined with the use of new technology, increasing productivity and lowering costs. Growth in the market may result from increased production volumes at lower costs as a result. Technological advancements can make it attainable to produce wood pellets from sustainable sources or increase the production process's sustainability.
For instance, in April 2022, to scale or increase the productivity of wood pellet mills, CPM, a provider of automation systems, pellet mills and pelleting equipment, has introduced new technology. After ten years of study, the company developed its proprietary Twin Track technology to save energy consumption, ensure consistent pellet quality and increase mill capacity.
Regulatory Challenges
Several laws and guidelines about emissions, environmental sustainability and forest management techniques apply to the wood pellet business. Adherence to these regulations may result in increased production expenses and limited market accessibility in specific areas.
For instance, rules about carbon emissions, deforestation and sustainable forestry methods may affect raw material availability and raise production costs for companies that make wood pellets. Moreover, regulatory variations among nations and areas can complicate matters for businesses that operate in several marketplaces, impeding their ability to expand.
The global wood pellets market is segmented based on feedstock, application, end-user and region.
Biomass Pellets Accelerate Adoption in Power Industry
In October 2021, an Indian power company NTPC had placed an order for 9,30,000 tons of biomass pellets to be co-fired in power plants, to enhance air quality. Moreover, the energy ministry states that 1.3 million tons of biomass pellets are sourced by UP, Punjab & Haryana for co-firing in their power plants.
The supply of 8,65,000 tons of biomass pellets, for which NTPC placed an order, is currently underway. In October 2021, NTPC placed a 65,000-ton additional order. Furthermore, above mentioned statement augments the demand for bio-based wood pellets in power industry. Therefore, the power generation application segment contributes significantly to the global segmental share.
Increasing Product Launches of Hardwood Pellets Fuels Market Growth
The growing product launches of hardwood pellets contribute to the diversification of product offerings in the North American wood pellets market. By providing consumers with a wider range of options, including softwood and hardwood pellets, manufacturers can better cater to diverse customer preferences and applications, thereby stimulating market growth.
For instance, on April 22, 2021, Kingsford has launched Pellets made entirely of hardwood. Kingsford has begun selling Hardwood Pellets in addition to charcoal as premium wood-fired fuel. To provide greater hickory, cherry and maple wood flavor, Kingsford pellets are composed entirely of natural materials with no additions of binders, preservatives or fillers. Therefore, with more than 25% of the global market share, North America is contributing significant in global market.
Due to travel restrictions, plant closures and lockdown precautions, the pandemic caused disruptions in supply networks. Due to the disruption in the supply of equipment, additives and raw materials required for the production of wood pellets, manufacturing and project timeframes were delayed. The pandemic has affected the energy industry, specifically the power generation sector.
The pandemic's effects on consumer behavior and economic slowdowns resulted in a decline in the market demand for wood pellets, especially in areas like commercial and domestic heating. The overall usage of wood pellets decreased as a result of people spending more time at home and less time in workplaces and commercial buildings requiring heating fuel.
The scarcity of wood pellets in Europe may cause prices to soar in the event of supply chain interruptions. Customers who rely on wood pellets for energy generation, such as consumers who use them for domestic heating, commercial enterprises and industrial facilities, will be impacted by these price increases.
Being a significant exporter of energy resources, disruptions in the energy supply spurred on by the fighting may result in increased energy prices globally. As a result, producers of wood pellets might have to pay more for production and transportation, which they could then pass along to consumers in the form of higher product prices.
The major global players in the market include Enviva, Fram Renewable Fuels, German Pellets GmbH, Wood Pellet Energy (UK) Ltd., Lignetics Inc., Energex Corporation, Viridis Energy Inc., Zilkha Biomass Energy, Drax Biomass and Veer Biofuel.
