Biodigester Market Report 2024

This Biodigester market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The biodigester market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $25.95 billion in 2023 to $27.3 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the rising demand for renewable energy sources, increased awareness of waste management and sustainability, greater adoption of organic farming practices, the growth in agricultural and industrial waste generation, and a surge in consumer demand for eco-friendly products.

The biodigester market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in green technology, the rising generation of organic waste, heightened awareness of environmental benefits, and the growing utilization of agricultural waste. Key trends during the forecast period include the adoption of advanced anaerobic digestion technologies, advancements in waste pretreatment processes, the adoption of modular biodigester units, the integration of renewable energy systems, and the implementation of smart grid technologies.

The growth of the biodigester market is expected to be driven by the increasing generation of organic waste. Organic waste, which includes biodegradable materials like food scraps and yard waste, naturally decomposes over time. The rise in organic waste generation is fueled by a growing population, higher food consumption, and increased agricultural and industrial activities. Biodigesters help manage organic waste by converting these materials into biogas and digestate, thereby reducing waste volume, recovering valuable energy, and producing nutrient-rich by-products for soil enrichment. For example, in November 2023, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water, an Australian government agency, reported that approximately 48 million tons of organic waste were generated during 2021-2022. This total includes 14.4 million tons of food waste, garden organics, timber waste, and biosolids, with around 8.29 million tons (58%) being recycled or recovered. As a result, the increasing generation of organic waste is propelling the biodigester market.

Leading companies in the biodigester market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as advanced biodigester systems, to improve organic waste management, reduce environmental impact, and promote sustainability across various industries. Biodigester systems are advanced waste management technologies that use natural aerobic digestion to break down food waste into water, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. For example, in June 2024, Power Knot, a US-based manufacturer of food waste digester machines, deployed multiple units of its LFC biodigester on the Margaritaville at Sea Islander cruise ship. This cutting-edge system processes between 10 kg (20 lb) and 6000 kg (13,200 lb) of waste per day, offering nine different size options. Installed strategically in galleys and garbage rooms for maximum efficiency, the eco-friendly LFC biodigester reduces the need for traditional disposal methods, cuts operational costs, and supports the ship's sustainability efforts, helping to protect ocean environments for future generations.

In September 2022, H.I.G. Infrastructure, a US-based investment firm, acquired Northern Biogas for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to drive growth by leveraging H.I.G. Infrastructure's expertise in renewable natural gas (RNG) development and operations. The acquisition also enables Northern Biogas to accelerate the development of anaerobic digesters and RNG facilities, utilizing its proprietary designs and operational expertise to efficiently convert organic waste, such as dairy and food waste, into sustainable energy solutions. This contributes to a cleaner energy economy and enhances operational capacity in the waste-to-renewable energy sector. Northern Biogas is a US-based company specializing in designing and installing biodigesters to convert organic waste into renewable energy and fertilizer.

A biodigester is a system that decomposes organic waste through anaerobic digestion, producing biogas and digestate. It serves purposes such as waste management, renewable energy generation, and fertilizer production, offering advantages like waste reduction, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and providing a sustainable source of energy and nutrients.

The main types of biodigesters in the market include covered lagoon, complete mix, flow plug digester, and others. A covered lagoon is a type of anaerobic digester used in wastewater and manure treatment, where a large, open lagoon is covered with a material such as a flexible membrane. The technologies utilized include dry fermentation and wet fermentation. Various models available are microbial inoculum, high altitude, glacier, plain area, and others. The different applications include agricultural, commercial, municipal, and other sectors.
