A complete analysis of key market drivers, restraints, and trends that impact industry participants is provided. Biodiesel consumption forecasts for each of the countries analyzed in the study are provided along with their legislative, feedstock, and supply trends. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: By region:
The following technologies are covered in this research:
Asia Pacific Biodiesel Market Likely to Display Significant Growth Countries in the Asia Pacific region are looking to biofuels such as biodiesel as a solution for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. They are also expected to reduce their dependence on imported fossil fuels, while generating export revenues. Although domestic markets are likely to grow significantly from the current negligible base, biodiesel producers in the region are also likely to target export markets given the availability of low-cost feedstocks in the region - primarily palm oil and jatropha. Since feedstock is the single largest cost component in biodiesel production, these considerably less expensive feedstocks give Asia Pacific producers a significant cost advantage over producers in the European Union and the United States that primarily use rapeseed and soybean oil. Asia Pacific producers can export locally produced biodiesel at prices that are attractive to European and American buyers and still obtain healthy margins. As most countries in the Asia Pacific region are net importers of fuel oil, several government-driven initiatives are encouraging domestic use of alternate fuels such as biodiesel to reduce dependence on imported oil. "In addition to providing licenses for biodiesel production, tax allowances, and capital grants, many governments are planning to introduce mandatory quotas for biofuels," says the analyst of this research service. "The initiatives of governments are also evident in the conduction of consumer education campaigns regarding awareness and use of biodiesel." The increased penetration of diesel-powered vehicles in many countries is expected to further help take biodiesel mainstream. Flurry of Investments in Biodiesel Projects Likely to Improve Consumer Awareness of the Benefits of Biodiesel National Governments and oil companies have started to promote biofuels, both to emphasize their environmental benefits and to address consumer concerns such as their usability in standard engines. Many local councils and governments are also actively promoting biodiesel by conducting trials using biodiesel in existing fleets. For instance, the Philippines Government is considering a proposal to give priority to license approvals of public utility vehicles that use 1.0 percent coco-biodiesel. "In another move to encourage production of biodiesel, several biodiesel producers have been publicly listed in 2005 and 2006," notes the analyst. "These listings and the subsequent media attention have not only helped biodiesel gain public attention, but have also increased investor confidence in the sector and stimulated further investments in new capacities and necessary infrastructure for the distribution of blends."
