World Biofuels

As Quoted In Biofuels Digest

A stagnating US market will limit increases in bioethanol demand, while biodiesel demand will continue to grow at a healthy pace, supported by more biofuel and renewable fuel mandates.

World demand to rise 3.6% annually through 2018

World demand for biofuels is expected to expand at a 3.6 percent annual pace, reaching 115 million metric tons in 2018. Advances will moderate significantly going forward as the United States -- the world’s largest market -- stagnates. While this will directly limit increases in bioethanol demand overall, biodiesel demand will continue to grow at a healthy pace, supported by the expansion of biofuel mandates in a number of developing countries and by the implementation of the European Union’s renewable transport fuel target for 2020. Concerns about the use of food crops for biofuel production have caused the focus in North America and the European Union (EU) to shift toward advanced second and third generation biofuels derived from waste materials and nonedible, sustainable biomass, which in turn will drive robust growth for other biofuels such as renewable diesel and biobutanol. However, these gains will come from a very small base.

Strongth growth expected in Asia/Pacific region, Western Europe

The United States and Brazil have historically dominated world biofuel demand and production, due to government policies to promote bioethanol consumption and plentiful access to feedstock. Growth in global biofuel consumption will slow markedly going forward as contradictory US regulations over bioethanol incorporation into the gasoline supply and waning public support for biofuels in the country restrain advances. While demand in the US market will remain nearly flat, advances elsewhere will be positive, with particular strength in the Asia/Pacific region and Western Europe.

Biodiesel to see faster growth

Demand for biodiesel will see faster growth, particularly in the Asia/Pacific region, Central and South America, and the Africa/Mideast region. In many cases, rising biodiesel demand in developing countries will reflect the establishment of consumption mandates intended to reduce dependence on imported petroleum products, as well as provide additional support for the domestic production of biodiesel and biodiesel crops. In volume terms, biodiesel demand will continue to be led by Western Europe, supported by EU member countries’ efforts to meet the EU’s 10 percent renewable transport fuel target in 2020. However, the pace of biodiesel demand growth in the EU will slow after that year as EU diesel fuel standards limit the amount of biodiesel that can be blended without requiring a new fuel label. Biodiesel demand in North America will decline through 2018 from a particularly strong base year, but resume growing thereafter.

Study coverage

This Freedonia industry study, World Biofuels, presents historical demand data for 2003, 2008 and 2013, and forecasts for 2018 and 2023 by product (e.g., bioethanol, biodiesel), world region, and for 22 countries.

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 31 industry participants, including Archer-Daniels-Midland, POET and Copersucar.
