The biofuels market is anticipated to increase due to the policies such as the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard, and the European Union's RED II directive encourage biofuel usage, offering financial and regulatory incentives that stimulate investment and production across the value chain.
WESTFORD, Mass., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SkyQuest Technology Consulting published a report, titled, Biofuels Market - Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2025-2032", valued at USD 117.69 Billion in 2024. With a projected CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2032, the market is expected to reach USD 197.72 Billion by the end of 2032. Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are becoming increasingly recognized. This recognition is resulting in the use of biofuels as a cleaner substitute for fossil fuels. There is a global trend with governments implementing strict emissions regulations, as they promote renewable energy sources, such as biofuels to limit one's carbon footprint particularly in transportation and in the industrial sector.

Biofuels Market Key Growth Drivers
The biofuels market has experienced significant growth owing to ongoing innovations in biofuel technologies, such as second-generation and advanced biofuels are enhancing efficiency, yield, and feedstock flexibility. Developments like algae-based fuels and cellulosic ethanol make biofuels more viable and scalable, reducing reliance on food-based crops, and improving the overall sustainability of biofuel production.
Another key factor driving the market growth is the transportation sector, especially aviation, and road freight, is increasingly seeking sustainable fuel alternatives to meet decarbonization goals. Biofuels, specifically biodiesel and bioethanol, have an immediacy in use since they fit straight to the engines and existing infrastructure. With their ability to reduce lifecycle emissions, they are a preferred option by environmentally conscious fleet operators and logistics companies.
Recent Developments in Biofuels Market
- In May 2025, UK-based HutanBio released a lifecycle assessment confirming its proprietary HBx microalgal biofuel achieves net-negative emissions-removing up to 1.48 t CO2e per tonne in Morocco, the Middle East, and Australia. This milestone marks a scalable, transparent benchmark for algal biofuel sustainability.
- In May 2025, Zhejiang Jiaao Enprotech shipped its first cargo of SAF (13,400 tonnes) from its east-China plant to Europe. This follows the award of a 2025 export license and marks the company's entry into international low-carbon aviation fuel exports.
- In April 2025, Repsol and Bunge partnered to integrate camelina and safflower crops into Europe's renewable fuel supply. Hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVOs) and sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are derived from these intermediates, which have reduced lifecycle emissions by up to 90% and increased low-carbon crop use.

Major Challenges in Biofuels Industry
Increasing biofuel crop agriculture relates to deforestation, conversion of natural habitat into farmland, and losses of biodiversity, which compromises the environmental assumptions of biofuels. Agricultural use of land raises environmental issues that attract scrutiny from environmental groups, which provide rationale for stricter regulations that slow biofuels project approvals and investment.
The absence of harmonised biofuels policies and certification standards across countries creates market, and investment uncertainty. Different sustainability criteria, blending requirements and import/export regulations hinder international trade and investment decisions. These differences also discourage reliable long-term commitments from producers and investment sectors required for the long-term growth of a coherent global biofuels market.

Biofuels Market Segmental Analysis
The biofuels market is segmented based on fuel type, feedstock, form, and region.
- By fuel type, bioethanol, primarily produced from corn, sugarcane, and wheat, is extensively used as a gasoline additive to reduce emissions. It maintains the highest market share, particularly in the U.S. and Brazil, because of established infrastructure and government mandates. It dominates the market because of high blend mandates and capacity to produce and deliver developed in terms of sustainability.
- By feedstock, starch sources like corn and wheat dominate ethanol production, particularly in the United States. This segment currently holds the largest market share due to large-scale corn cultivation, established supply chains, and government support through renewable fuel mandates.
- By form, solid biofuels include wood pellets, briquettes, and agricultural residues. These are primarily used for heating and power generation in residential and industrial applications. While widely used in some regions (like Europe), they have limitations in transportation use and lower energy density compared to liquid biofuels. Their growth is moderate and mostly tied to biomass heating markets.
