Wood Pellet Fuel Market 2
Wood Pellet Fuel Market 2

Wood Pellet Fuel Market is expected to exceed the market valuation of more than US$ ~18 billion in 2027 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of ~9.5% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Wood pellets are small 10-20 mm long small cylindrical pieces with diameters that vary from 5 to 10 mm which are produced from fine-ground wood bark. They are usually used a fuels and can be automatically fed into the burner thanks to their small and fixed form. On the other hand, energy is consumed in the drying process and in grinding wood barks used for making wood pellets. Overall the ratio of output energy to input energy is relatively high in wood pellets than wood chips, but wood pellets can be efficiently used in residential houses and be burnt efficiently in relatively small stoves. The energy efficiency of wood pellet production system must be improved to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission for expanding the use of wood pellets as a major source of energy.

The pandemic had severe effects on the wood pellet market and the general economy as it disrupted employment, shipping, financial markets and other industries. When comparing trends and operations from before and after covid-19 of the wood pellet market, all economic, environmental and social conditions were considered. Covid-19 effected the number of skilled employees available, transportation of products and industries along the supply chain. However, the overall employment fell drastically, the employment in the pellet industry continued to grow. This is because for the rising popularity of wood based bioenergy and also proves that the supply chain can be maintained despite a major global economic disruption. Analysts are also expecting a growth in the post pandemic recovery of biomass energy. Building trust through effective participation represents a challenge for enhancing resilience of this and other wood-based supply chains.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst Feedstock, Forest Wood & Waste segment holds the major share”

Based on feedstock, the Wood Pellet Fuel market is segmented into Forest Wood & Waste, Agriculture Residue and Others. Amongst Feedstock, the Forest Wood & Waste segment of the market was valued at US$ XX billion in 2020 and is likely to reach US$ XX billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of XX% from 2021-2027. Premium grade pellet fuel contains less than 1% ash content and is usually produced from hardwood or softwood sawdust containing no tree bark. Ash content varies in premium fuels from about 0.3% in some western softwoods to about 0.7% in eastern hardwoods. Premium pellets, which make up over 95% of current pellet production, and can generally be burned in stoves.

“Amongst Heating Application, Free Standing Pellet Stove Segment holds the major share”

Based on Heating Application, the Wood Pellet Fuel Market is segmented into Free Standing Pellet Stove, Pellet Stove Inserts and Pellet Boilers. Amongst Heating Application, Free Standing Pellet Stove segment accounted for a market valuation of US$ XX billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ XX billion by the year 2027, at a CAGR of XX% over the analyzed period. Free standing heating stoves need to be filled with pellets and set the thermostat. A mechanical auger deposits the pellets into a burn pot in which they are incinerated at a high temperature which creates no vent clogging creosote and very little ash or emissions which keeps both indoor and outdoor air cleaner. Free standing pellet stoves are twice as efficient as the old wood stoves in warming the space and are vastly more efficient than fireplaces.

“Amongst Application, Residential Heating segment holds the major share”

Based on Application, the Wood Pellet Fuel market is segmented into CHP/District Heating, Power Plants, Residential Heating and Commercial Heating. Amongst application, the Residential Heating segment of the market was valued at US$ XX billion in 2020 and is likely to reach US$ XX billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of XX% from 2021-2027. A good rule of thumb is that a stove rated 60,000 British Thermal Units (Btu) can heat a 2,000 square foot home, while the stove rates at 42,000 Btu can heat a 1,300 square foot space. When one is choosing a wood or pellet burning appliance, it’s important to select the one that is properly sized for the space to be heated.
