Executive Summary
According to this report, the biomass boiler market was valued at $5.5 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $22.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 15.4% from 2023 to 2032.A biomass boiler is a type of boiler that employs organic matter from plants or animal waste as its fuel source. These organic materials known as biomass, encompass wood, farm residues, energy crops, and other biological substances. The combustion of biomass within the boiler produces heat energy, utilized for generating steam or hot water for heating purposes or electricity production. Biomass boilers come in various sizes and designs, ranging from small residential units to large industrial setups. They find application in district heating, industrial procedures, and residential heating, serving as an eco-friendly and sustainable substitute for conventional fossil fuel boilers. Biomass boilers significantly contribute to tackling environmental and energy issues, furnishing a renewable and lasting approach to heat and power generation.
Decarbonization involves shifting from carbon-intensive to cleaner energy sources. It aims to reduce fossil fuel use, like coal and oil, to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. Biomass boilers use organic materials for fuel, emitting CO2 but offsetting it through new biomass growth, creating a closed-loop carbon cycle. This aids in carbon-neutral or low-carbon combustion. Replacing fossil fuel heating with biomass boilers significantly cuts emissions, supporting decarbonization. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IREA), bioenergy plays a key role in the energy transition compatible with meeting the 1.5°C climate goals. Modern bioenergy’s contribution to the demand for energy and feedstock is expected to grow by a factor of three by 2030. It provides 17% of all final energy consumption by 2050, contributing to all end-use sectors and especially enabling emission reductions in sectors where there are few other options. In addition, government policies and agreements like the Paris Agreement accelerate decarbonization by encouraging renewable adoption and phasing out fossil fuels, propelling the growth of biomass boilers.
Challenges within the biomass boiler are the presence of combustion systems that emit pollutants and create ash deposition. Concerns about air quality due to the emission of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) raise challenges for biomass boiler installations, especially in densely populated areas. Local regulations and community acceptance play a vital role in their deployment. In addition, managing and disposing of ash in biomass boilers require proper practices to maintain efficiency and reduce maintenance requirements. Regulatory requirements for ash disposal impact operational costs and logistics. These challenges may lead consumers to choose alternative heating options and hamper the growth of the biomass boiler market.
Government incentives like feed-in tariffs, renewable heat incentives, tax benefits, and grants enhance the financial viability of biomass boilers by reducing upfront costs, shortening payback periods, and boosting returns on investment. These incentives make biomass boilers an appealing choice, especially compared to traditional fossil fuel heating. Government policies, such as renewable energy targets, portfolio standards, and energy certificates, establish a conducive for biomass boilers market analysis, boosting demand and benefiting suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers. The abovementioned factors will provide biomass boiler market opportunities for the growth during the forecast period.
The biomass boiler market is segmented on the basis of feedstock, end user, and region. By feedstock, the market is segmented into woody biomass, agricultural & forest residue, urban residue, and biogas & energy crops. By end user, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Key players that operate in the global biomass boilers market are Viessmann Group, ETA Heiztechnik GmbH, HARGASSNER GesmbH, Guntamatic Heiztechnik GmbH, Fröling Heizkessel- und Behälterbau Ges. m.b. H., Woodco, Thermax Limited., Forbes Marshall, Hurst Boiler & Welding Co, Inc., and HDG Bavaria GmbH. Additional growth strategies such as new product developments, acquisition, and business expansion strategies, are also adopted to attain key developments in the biomass boilers market trends.
Impact analysis:
The Russia-Ukraine war has indirect effects on the biomass boiler industry, especially in regions closely linked to Russia or Ukraine. Energy markets, including biomass fuels, are influenced by the conflict, affecting global energy prices and thus the competitiveness of biomass boilers. In addition, uncertainty from geopolitical conflicts hampers investment decisions, prompting caution among businesses and investors. This delays or reduces investments in biomass projects, restraining market growth. Fluctuations in fossil fuel prices further impact biomass boiler cost-effectiveness, influencing decisions for potential investors and operators. Geopolitical instability thus disrupts the biomass boiler market's expansion and investment landscape.Simultaneously, economic crises result in reduced investments in renewable projects like biomass boilers due to financial constraints and uncertainty. Potential investors are hesitant to commit capital, impacting industry growth. During such downturns, individuals and businesses prioritize cost-saving. While biomass boilers offer long-term benefits, the initial high investment deters adoption. Economic instability leads to postponed installations until conditions stabilize. However, crises foster energy sector competition, driving innovation, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement in biomass technology.
Key Findings of the Study
:On the basis of feedstock, the woody biomass segment emerged as the global leader by acquiring more than half of the market share in 2022 and is anticipated to continue this trend during the biomass boiler market forecast.On the basis of end-use, the industrial segment emerged as the largest biomass boiler market size in terms of share in 2022, which accounts for more than three-fifths of the biomass boiler market share.
On the basis of region, Asia-Pacific is the major consumer of biomass boiler among other regions. It accounted for more than half of the global market share in 2022.
