Based on feedstock, the vegetable oil segment is anticipated to cross USD 24 billion by 2032 since soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil, are widely available and produced in large quantities in North America. The extensive cultivation of oilseed crops provides a consistent and reliable supply of raw materials for biodiesel production. This abundance supports large-scale biodiesel manufacturing and contributes to market stability.
Based on application, the transportation segment is anticipated to grow with CAGR of more than 7.5% through 2032, owing to the increasingly implementing stringent emission regulations to combat air pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Regulations such as the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and Canada’s Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) mandate the use of renewable fuels in transportation, driving the demand for biodiesel as a cleaner alternative to traditional diesel.
The U.S. biodiesel market is anticipated to surpass USD 20.5 billion by 2032, due to the strong The RFS mandates for the blending of renewable fuels, such as biodiesel, with petroleum-based fuels. This regulation not only ensures a steady demand for biodiesel but also encourages production and investment in the sector. Additionally, state-level mandates and incentives further bolster biodiesel adoption. The U.S. government’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change is a significant driver of biodiesel market growth. Biodiesel's lower carbon footprint compared to conventional diesel aligns with national and state-level climate goals, prompting increased usage across various sectors.
Similarly, the Canada has a diverse and abundant supply of feedstocks for biodiesel production, including soybean oil, used cooking oil, and animal fats. The availability of these feedstocks supports large-scale biodiesel production and helps stabilize prices, contributing to market growth. The development of new feedstocks, such as algae and other non-traditional sources, is also expanding the resource base for biodiesel.
