Biochar Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Technology (Gasification, Pyrolysis), By Application (Agriculture), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, MEA), And Segment Forecasts, 2026 - 2033

Biochar Market Summary

The global biochar market size was estimated at USD 698.2 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 2042.5 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2026 to 2033. Increasing product consumption in producing organic food and its ability to enhance soil fertility & plant growth are expected to be key factors driving the market growth.

The European Biochar Certificate has passed regulations on its direct utilization in soil across several European countries including Austria and Switzerland. Biochar is a charcoal derived by controlled heating of waste materials, such as agricultural waste, wood waste, forest waste, and animal manure. Among all end uses, it is widely used in a soil amendment to reduce pollutants and toxic elements and to prevent reducing moisture level, soil leaching, and fertilizer runoff.

Environmental awareness, cheaper cost of raw materials, and cohesive government policies for waste management are key factors anticipated to create greater avenues for market expansion. The industry comprises the organized and unorganized sectors owing to a strong presence of a few large-scale manufacturers and a growing number of small- and medium-scale manufacturers, especially in North America and Europe. Counties in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East are expected to grow at a sluggish rate, with a lack of product awareness and its long-term advantages. Manufacturing of high-quality biochar requires heavy capital investment. As a result, several companies have exited the marketplace in the past few years.

In rural areas of countries, such as China, Japan, Brazil, and Mexico, a large amount of this product is produced in collaboration with research groups and institutions. The number of organized players in the industry manufacturing high-quality products is expected to increase with the growing demand for organic food. The full potential of this product is yet to be realized in other sectors than the agricultural sector. It is used as a fabric additive in the textile industry, as a raw material in the manufacturing of building materials, and as a shield against electromagnetic radiation in the electronics industry.
