Wood Pellets Industry Overview
The global wood pellets market size was estimated at USD 8.88 billion in 2019 and is expected to register a revenue-based CAGR of 9.4% over the forecast period.
Growing consciousness regarding the use of renewable energy sources for space heating in residential and commercial heating is likely to propel the demand. Wood pellets undergo complete combustion while burning, thereby providing more heat as compared to the other biomass fuels. In addition, clean combustion of wood pellets contributes to its application in pellet stoves and pellet fireplaces along with the tax benefits and incentives associated with renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The demand for wood pellets in fueling the power plants for electricity generation is projected to witness significant growth owing to the rising number of power plants in the country. China has banned the use of coal-fired boilers in the East and Guangdong province. The low cost of the product in the aforementioned regions is also anticipated to drive the market growth in the forthcoming years.
