Product Overview

Biofuel Additives to surpass USD 32.1 billion by 2031 from USD 12 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 14.3% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-31.

Biofuel is a natural gas, liquid or solid source such as fuel-fueled plants. It comes as plants or animal waste from renewable biological sources; in particular, liquid fuel for car engines made of corn or soya oil. Biofuels could obtain from field products, forest products, farm, fishing products or municipal waste, including by-products and waste from agricultural production, food industry and food services. Biofuel additives are special compounds that improve engine performance, reduce brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), and enhance biofuel characteristics. They are made from either conventional or lignocellulosic feedstock, and they play a key role in meeting international fuel standards. Because of their high oxygen concentration, biofuel additives such as methanol, diethyl ether, ethanol, and n-butanol are commonly utilised as biodiesel additives. Biodiesel mixes with biofuel additives increase combustion stability and characteristics. Antioxidant compounds are responsible for the decrease of NOX emissions.

Market Highlights

Global Biofuel Additives market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 14.3% in 2031.

Global Biofuel Additives to surpass USD 32.1 billion by 2031 from USD 12 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 14.3% in the coming years, i.e., 2021-31. Increasing awareness of the tenuous effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the environment should help in the growing installation of plants producing biomass worldwide. Biofuel additives production aids in eliminating the problem of dumpsites and landfills which are expected to have an optimistic impact on Biofuels additives demand. The sector incorporates significant opportunities for future growth as the market is expected to transpire as a replacement for traditional fuels, including diesel and petrol. In addition to a renewable energy source, the amount of carbon in the biofuel additives is less. It emits fewer greenhouse gases which are expected to boost demand for Biofuels as a replacement for fossil fuels.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

Cheaper Substitute to Conventional Sources

Increasing awareness of the tenuous effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the environment should help in the growing installation of plants producing biomass worldwide. Biofuel additives production aids in eliminating the problem of dumpsites and landfills which are expected to have an optimistic impact on Biofuels additives demand. The sector incorporates significant opportunities for future growth as the market is expected to transpire as a replacement for traditional fuels, including diesel and petrol. In addition to a renewable energy source, the amount of carbon in the biofuel additives is less. It emits fewer greenhouse gases which are expected to boost demand for Biofuels as a replacement for fossil fuels.

Demand for clean and green fuel                                 

The demand for clean and efficient fuel, the declining quality of crude oil, and the growing automotive industry, which is intending for cleaner and greener fuel sources due to stringent emission regulations, especially in Europe and China, are all factors favouring the growth of the Biofuel Additives Market. Methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, nitrogen trifluoride, and sulphur hexafluoride), and nitrous oxide are the principal sources of greenhouse gases (N2O). Due to the use of fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil, and coal, the transportation industry also contributes to CO2 emissions.

Restraint

Huge Installation Costs

Huge installation cost and large gestation period, i.e., gap between installation and commencement of the plant is seen as one of the factors hindering the growth of the Biofuels additives market.

Global Biofuel Additives Market: Regions

Global Biofuel Additives market is segmented based on regional analysis into five major regions: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa. North America's share of the world biofuels additives is largest because of its government-widened supporting policies, such as the government's tax benefits. Because of its strong policies and incentives in the development, use and study of new alternative fuel technologies, the US is the worldwide leader for biodiesel additives. South America is America's second-largest biofuel additives manufacturer. Higher oil prices and higher oil consumption are among the key drivers of biofuels in Brazil’s growth.

Europe is the second-most market-leading region after Asia Pacific. Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland are major Biofuels additives -producing countries in the European region. In the European Biofuels Association, several European countries work together whose directives are to curb carbon emissions. Additionally, other countries like Belgium, Slovakia, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are reinforcing their Biofuels additives production levels.
