U.S. BIOFUELS MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2023 - 2030)

U.S. Biofuels Market Size and Trends

U.S. biofuels market is expected to be valued at US$ 32.91 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach US$ 56.04 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9% from 2023 to 2030.

U.S. Biofuels Market- Trends

• Consolidation and Vertical Integration Major industry consolidation has occurred recently as a result of mergers between major food processing, renewable fuel, and agribusiness businesses seeking to achieve vertical integration. Companies are acquiring biofuel producers to secure supply and distribution channels. Consolidation improves economies of scale in production and market share but can also reduce competitiveness between players. This is an important market structural trend as federal policies come up for renewal over the next decade.
• Next-Generation Biofuels: Research, development and commercialization efforts on next-generation biofuels are accelerating. These fuels derived from cellulosic biomass and biological processing aim to further improve sustainability and emissions benefits as compared to first-generation biofuels. Emerging technologies include converting biomass to hydrocarbons through gasification and pyrolysis or using biochemical, fermentation and metabolic engineering approaches The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 mandates a tripling in U.S. biofuel use to 36 billion gallons by 2022.
• Biofuels Industry Digitization: The biofuels industry is increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve operational efficiency, productivity and profitability. For example, agriculture biotech firms provide digital analytics to farmers to optimize crop yields and land-use for biofuels feedstock cultivation. Biorefineries are leveraging automation, sensors and predictive modeling to improve process controls and reliability. Supply chain management software connects feedstock suppliers, biofuel producers and distribution partners. Overall data utilization along the value chain is increasing. In 2022, with the help of digital transformation initiatives, the biofuel industry is projected to produce 175 billion liters of fuel with a projected annual growth rate of 7%.
• Circular Economy Transition: There is growing focus on integrating biofuels into a broader circular economy transition across agriculture, chemical manufacturing, plastics recycling and the automotive industry. This aims to establish more sustainable production and consumption systems by reusing waste and residue resources. Public-private partnerships are focused on creating regional bioeconomy clusters anchored around biorefineries that can serve as hubs for circular processes. Policy measures also incentivize circular biofuels approaches.
