Dublin, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Biofuels: Global Markets” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global market for biofuels is expected to grow from $150.9 billion in 2025 to reach $194.7 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% from 2025 through 2030.
In this report, the global market for biofuels is segmented and analyzed by fuel type, end-use industry and region. The market size is provided in value ($ million) and volume (million liters). A chapter on competitive intelligence covers the market shares of leading companies based on their product offerings and revenues generated from biofuels. It also discusses market dynamics, emerging technologies and global developments.
In green energy transition goals, biofuels can be used as a carbon-free substitute for fossil fuels. Ethanol and renewable diesel will be responsible for two-thirds of the demand for biofuels. Bioenergy holds the largest share in global renewable energy production. Solid and liquid biofuels are the major sources of bioenergy. Biofuels can reduce fossil fuel consumption, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
The growing focus on decarbonization of transport, along with the aviation and marine industries, is a major factor accelerating the demand for biofuels in the global market. However, the supply chain complexities and feedstock availability at competitive costs are posing significant challenges for the growth of the industry. Cultivating sufficient feedstock for biofuels drives decisions on facility locations.
The report also includes emerging trends, technological advances, economic forces and technical standards. It contains a Porter’s Five Forces analysis and a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis. The report also discusses the technical and commercial aspects of different types of biofuels and their utilization by different end-use industries. The report outlines the regulations and policies in different countries governing biofuel production to ensure environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance. ESG factors are also analyzed.
