As per the report, the global charcoal briquette market attained a value of USD 2205.5 million in 2022.

Charcoal briquettes are a type of solid fuel made from compressed charcoal powder, often combined with additives such as starch, sawdust, or clay to aid in binding and ignition. They offer several advantages over traditional charcoal, including uniform size and shape, consistent burning, and lower production of smoke and ash. Charcoal briquettes are commonly used for cooking, heating, and industrial processes.

The increasing demand for eco-friendly fuel sources is a significant factor driving the global charcoal briquette market growth. As concerns about climate change and environmental pollution grow, there is a shift towards cleaner and more sustainable fuel options. Charcoal briquettes, produced from renewable biomass sources, offer a viable alternative to fossil fuels and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Another key trend propelling the growth of the charcoal briquette market is the growing preference for outdoor cooking and barbecuing, particularly in regions such as North America and Europe. Charcoal briquettes provide a consistent heat source and impart a distinct smoky flavour to grilled foods, making them a popular choice for barbecuing enthusiasts. This increased demand for charcoal briquettes for outdoor cooking has contributed to the market expansion.

The rising popularity of smokeless briquettes is also accelerating the charcoal briquette market expansion. Smokeless briquettes, made from carbonised biomass and various binders, produce minimal smoke and ash, making them more environmentally friendly and suitable for use in urban areas with strict air quality regulations. The demand for smokeless briquettes is expected to grow as consumers become more conscious of their environmental impact.

There is a growing demand for organic and eco-friendly charcoal briquettes as consumers become more environmentally conscious. These products are made from sustainably sourced materials and produced using environmentally friendly methods, making them an attractive option for eco-conscious consumers, thus propelling the market growth.
