Southeast Asia Biomass Market To Reach $7,788.67 Million By 2030

Southeast Asia Biomass Market Growth & Trends

The Southeast Asia biomass market is anticipated to reach USD 7,788.67 million by 2030 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This robust growth reflects the region's increasing commitment to renewable energy sources, driven by a combination of rising energy demands, environmental sustainability goals, and supportive governmental policies.

Growing government support plays a crucial role in fostering the growth of the biomass market. Many Southeast Asian countries have implemented favorable policies and incentives to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources, including biomass. These measures include feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and subsidies for biomass energy projects. Such policies create a conducive environment for investment and innovation in the biomass sector. Furthermore, international collaboration and funding from global environmental organizations enhance the capacity of Southeast Asian nations to develop and implement biomass technologies. These efforts are instrumental in overcoming financial and technical barriers, thereby accelerating the deployment of biomass energy solutions across the region.

Companies are increasingly focusing on expansion of biomass facility in order to increase their foothold in Southeast Asia biomass market. For instance, In May 2024, In May 2024, erex Co., Ltd. one of the leading Japanese company is planning to construct a 50 MW biomass power facility in Yen Bai, which will be expected to use approx. 500,000 tonnes of wood waste and its by-products as fuel annually. This planned project is scheduled for operation in early 2027.
