Based on type, the first-generation segment is poised to cross USD 12.7 billion by 2032, owing to the increased adoption of bioethanol and biodiesel production technologies. These technologies primarily utilize food crops such as corn, sugarcane, and soybeans as feedstocks for biofuel production. The first generation biorefineries have been in operation for several years and have established infrastructure and supply chains, contributing to their significant market share.
Based on technology, the industrial biotechnology segment is anticipated to grow with CAGR of more than 7.5% through 2032, on account of the increasing consumer demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products, supportive government policies and regulations, and continuous technological advancements. Additionally, rising environmental concerns and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are prompting a shift towards biorefinery technologies. The region's abundant availability of biomass feedstock, such as agricultural residues, forestry by-products, and organic waste, further supports this growth.
China biorefinery market is anticipated to surpass USD 8 billion by 2032 due to massive industrial base, government support for renewable energy, and significant investments in biorefinery technologies. Its vast agricultural resources provide ample biomass for biorefining. Similarly, India is crucial due to its growing energy demand and agricultural sector, which supplies abundant biomass. Japan's advanced technological capabilities and innovation drive biorefinery advancements. Australia contributes through its strong agricultural industry and research initiatives. South Africa, while not in the Asia Pacific, is key in the broader context for its biomass potential and emerging bioeconomy, facilitating international collaborations.
