The global biochar market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7.9 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period of 2023-2033 and reach a valuation of US$ 26.5 million in 2033.
Biochar is charcoal that is typically produced by pyrolyzing waste or biomass in an environment without oxygen. It is a sustainable solid material rich in carbon and is frequently used as a soil amendment to improve plant growth, crop yield, soil quality, and others. Additionally, it is used as an animal feed supplement to improve the efficiency of cattle’s nutrition intake, digestion, and blood values, especially in cows and goats.

The demand for crops has increased as a result of the growing population, which has in turn motivated farmers to use biochar more consistently to boost crop yields. This, in turn, drives biochar consumption growth. Additionally, adding biochar to the diet of animals like goats, pigs, chickens, fish, and cattle has delivered positive results. It is a feed additive used by a variety of ruminants, including goats and cattle, to enhance growth performance, blood profiles, pathogen resistance, and others.
It also contains significant amounts of calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which lower the probability of cracked eggs in hens. Such factors have increased the use of biochar in animal feeding, thus, driving the biochar market.
