Description

The global Agrichar market size is predicted to grow from US$ 162 million in 2025 to US$ 1096 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 29.6% from 2026 to 2032.

Agrichar is a carbon-rich, charcoal-like material made by heating biomass under oxygen-limited conditions (pyrolysis), then applied mainly to soils to improve agronomic and environmental performance.

Upstream, the chain starts with biomass feedstocks such as wood chips, crop residues, manure and other agricultural by-products, followed by thermochemical conversion (commonly slow/controlled pyrolysis) to convert a portion of biomass carbon into a more stable, recalcitrant form. Producers then do post-processing to meet application needs—screening/grinding/pelletizing, moisture control, and sometimes “charging/inoculating” with compost or manure to balance nutrients and improve early performance in soil.

Downstream, agrichar is used mainly by farms, horticulture operations, composters and land managers as a soil carbon amendment: improving water and nutrient retention, soil structure and biological activity, and supporting climate/soil-health practices where stable carbon is added to soils.

In 2025, global sales of Cylindrical Microlens Arrays reached approximately 469 K tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 352/ton. Production capacity varies significantly among manufacturers, with gross profit margins ranging from approximately 30% to 60%.

Demand for agrichar is shifting from a “single-purpose soil amendment” to a hybrid of agricultural input and carbon-management tool. On the one hand, scaled growers care about practical agronomy—water retention, aggregation, nutrient buffering, and improved input-use efficiency. On the other hand, decarbonization pressure across food brands and upstream supply chains is making “verifiable, traceable carbon storage” a key commercialization lever. As more projects bundle energy utilization, organic-waste management, and carbon value, the business case becomes easier to close and easier to sell beyond purely agricultural buyers.

Supply is expanding rapidly, but the industry’s main differentiation is quality consistency and auditability. Feedstock choice and thermal process windows materially change pore structure, ash content, volatiles, contaminants, and stability—directly affecting crop outcomes and compliance risk. Once carbon value is involved, monitoring, reporting, and verification requirements further raise the bar on feedstock traceability, process control, and end-use tracking. The result is a market where premiums for high-integrity, reliably deliverable product coexist with price pressure from low-barrier, lower-quality expansion.

End-use pathways are also broadening. Farmland and horticulture remain the base, but urban soils, biochar-infused concrete/building materials, and fossil-carbon substitution in metallurgy are increasingly shaping a broader “biochar materials” landscape alongside agriculture. For agrichar producers, the ability to productize standards, application protocols, and channel services into a repeatable system will determine who secures durable offtakes and stable profitability through the expansion cycle.
