The biodiesel market was estimated to value USD 40 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.25% over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. At this CAGR, the market is likely to reach valuation of USD 42.69 billion in 2022 to USD 64.27 billion by 2030. The factors like rising public awareness of the depletion of natural resources and non-renewable energy sources are fueling growth of the biodiesel market.
Feedstock availability and diversity are fundamental factors influencing the biodiesel market. In the past, crops like soybean and rapeseed were major contributors to the creation of biodiesel. Nonetheless, there has been a shift in focus towards investigating substitute feedstocks because to worries about the effects on food crops, land usage, and deforestation.
One important aspect of the market that manufacturers of biodiesel have to deal with is the price volatility of feedstocks. Vegetable oils and fats, which are the main raw materials used to produce biodiesel, can have unstable pricing because of a variety of reasons including weather patterns, geopolitical developments, and dynamics of global supply and demand. The cost of producing biodiesel is directly impacted by these price swings, which has an effect on the profitability and competitiveness of the sector. The market is witnessing increased interest in feedstocks such as used cooking oil, algae, and waste fats. Diversifying feedstock sources not only addresses environmental concerns but also contributes to the overall sustainability and resilience of the biodiesel industry.
