Market Trends of Biochar Industry

Agriculture Segment is Experiencing Significant Market Growth

  • Biochar is a solid by product obtained from biomass pyrolysis. It is rich in carbon. It is a porous material that is used for various applications, such as soil improvement and remediation. 
  • Biochar is widely recognized for its ability to improve soil health and fertility. When added to soil, biochar enhances soil structure, increases water retention capacity, and promotes beneficial microbial activity. These properties lead to higher crop yields and improved agricultural productivity, making biochar a valuable input for farmers. 
  • Hence, using biochar in agriculture production increases yields while decreasing negative environmental impacts. 
  • The market analysis report indicates that, currently China and the United States are the forerunners in using biochar for agricultural purposes. 
  • The total value of agricultural exports in the United States reached USD 184.5 billion in 2023, according to the data published by the US Census Bureau, the US Department of Agriculture, and the US Department of Commerce, reflecting a substantial growth rate in the sector. 
  • Moreover, according to the US Department of Agriculture and the National Agricultural Statistics Service, the total wheat production in the United States increased from 1.64 billion bushels in 2021 to 1.81 billion bushels in 2023. 
  • Thus, the factors mentioned above are expected to increase the demand for biochar in agriculture applications in the coming years.
