The biorefinery is a process in which biomass is converted to energy and other beneficial by-products. It is a sustainable method of processing biomass into a spectrum of bio-based products and bioenergy. Biorefinery provides multiple chemicals by fractioning an initial raw material into multiple intermediates such as carbohydrates, proteins, and triglycerides, which can further be converted into value-added products. This phase of refinery is called the cascading phase.

The biorefinery market is segmented depending on its various characteristics. By product type, the market is bifurcated into energetic and non-energetic. Biodiesel, electricity, and ethanol products come under energetic category, while non-energetic biorefinery products used in resins, plastics, and solvents making processes. Biorefinery products are majorly applicable in baby care products, herbal drugs, for electricity, alcohol, and surfactants. The wide use of biorefinery products is being seen in making chemicals for building blocks. By region, the biorefinery market is studied across North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific is too likely to witness rise in demand and supply of biorefinery products, primarily due to severe government construction scheme for growing urban population.

Scope of the report

COVID-19 impact analysis

• During the pandemic, the insufficiency in raw material supply is anticipated to hamper the production rate of biorefinery, thus affecting the market growth.
• The sectors such as commercial and agricultural sectors are major consumers of biorefinery products, and more than 50% of the factories and production rate are on a halt in pandemic. 
• Moreover, the market is likely to witness a temporary downfall in demand for biorefinery products due to less consumer consumption during the pandemic.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis

Increase in concern of environmental safety leads to rise in usage of bio-based products in industrial activities, as these products lower emission of pollutants. In addition, the making of cosmetics, resins, and alcohols involves high usage of biorefinery products. Furthermore, the fuel produced from the biorefinery process is used in energy requirement purposes, which have low cost and lower greenhouse gas emission. Thus, all these factors together are expected to drive the growth of the global biorefinery market during the forecast period. However, the gap between consumers and suppliers is actuated to hamper the growth of the global biorefinery product market.
