The European Union remains the dominant player in the global liquid biofuels market, maintaining the largest market share over the past decade. The market is expected to account for 38.7% of the market share in 2024. Stringent environmental regulations promoting the use of renewable fuels for transportation have driven significant demand within the EU. All member states have adopted mandatory blending targets and incentives for producers and consumers. Popular fuels like biodiesel and bioethanol find widespread use in vehicles across the region due to supportive policies. Germany, France, and Italy account for over half of the EU's liquid biofuel consumption owing to their large vehicle fleets and emphasis on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum. Leading car manufacturers like Volkswagen, Renault, and Fiat actively participate in the biofuels supply chain to meet corporate social responsibility goals. Numerous production facilities catering to the needs of these key importers have come up in countries like Spain, Poland, and Romania where feedstock is economically available. Cross-border trade of liquid biofuels has connected suppliers across the EU single market, enhancing competitiveness and energy security within the bloc.

Outside of the EU, Latin America has emerged as the fastest growing market for liquid biofuels internationally. The region has a combination of favorable climatic conditions and government incentives that have spurred major investments in sustainable fuel production from sugarcane and soybean feedstock. Brazil remains the dominant producer globally, with its sugarcane-based ethanol widely blended into gasoline. However, other countries like Argentina and Colombia are rapidly scaling up their exports of biodiesel and ethanol to capitalize on the growing demand. Strong production bases catering to international demand have given Latin America an edge over other developing regions in terms of scaling biofuel industries. This leadership position is expected to foster further technology transfers and partnerships that can drive future market expansion.
