Global Waste Grease Recovery Market 2025 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Waste Grease Recovery market size was valued at US$ 12520 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 36020 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 18.5% during review period.
Waste grease recovery refers to the process of collecting, processing, and reusing discarded animal and vegetable oils generated in the catering industry, food processing, and industrial production. The goal is to reduce environmental pollution, prevent waste grease from illegally entering the food chain, and convert it into renewable resources such as biodiesel, industrial lubricants, and chemical raw materials. Generally, the waste grease industry involves several key participants: waste grease generators, collection and transportation entities, processing companies, and regulatory bodies. Among them, waste grease processors are responsible for refining and converting recovered grease, ensuring compliance with relevant standards, and facilitating its effective utilization in energy, industrial, or chemical sectors. This article focuses on the waste grease processors as the primary research subject within the industry.
The global waste grease recovery market is currently characterized by a coexistence of policy-driven initiatives and trade dynamics. Western countries have been strengthening renewable energy targets through legislation, explicitly increasing the mandatory blending ratios for biofuels, thereby injecting long-term growth momentum into the industry. The emergence of new sectors, particularly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), offers vast opportunities for the high-value conversion of waste grease. However, regional trade barriers, such as anti-dumping investigations by the European Union, have intensified market volatility, compelling companies to adjust their strategic layouts. As a key global producer, China faces dual challenges of high export dependency amidst international policy risks and insufficient domestic application, necessitating the expansion of diversified markets and the promotion of local consumption scenarios.
In terms of development trends, the global consensus on green transformation will continue to support the growth in biofuel demand. However, the focus of industrial competition is shifting from mere scale expansion to technological upgrades and industrial chain integration. Companies are enhancing raw material processing efficiency and reducing production costs through research and innovation, while also accelerating the deployment of high-value products such as bio-based materials and SAF to counteract profit compression in the traditional biodiesel market. Additionally, cross-border cooperation and regionalized production have become new directions, with enterprises establishing overseas factories and exporting technology to circumvent trade barriers and strengthen the resilience of global supply chains. In the future, the precision of policies, the capacity for technological iteration, and the level of market diversification will be critical for companies to break through.
Regarding applications, the downstream application fields of waste grease recovery are undergoing structural transformation. The three major directions of biodiesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and bio-based materials are collectively driving the industry towards high value-added and low-carbon development. Policies in regions such as the EU, the US, and Japan have led to a surge in global SAF demand. China, with its low-cost Used Cooking Oil (UCO) resources and technological reserves, is poised to become a major supplier. However, domestically, waste grease recovery is primarily utilized for biodiesel production, with relatively broad specification requirements and low recovery levels. Therefore, enhancing the domestic recovery and utilization rate of waste grease and expanding application fields remain pressing tasks.
