The global biochar market is expected to grow from USD 640 million in 2026 to USD 1.4 billion by 2036, according to a new report from Fact.MR. This growth is fueled by increasing demand for carbon removal, soil health improvement, and circular economy initiatives. Biochar, produced from biomass through pyrolysis, is gaining traction as a climate-positive material used in agriculture, water treatment, and construction materials. Key drivers include supportive sustainability regulations, carbon credit monetization, and advances in biomass processing. Soil amendment remains the largest application segment, while North America and Europe lead in market share. South Asia and Asia-Pacific, particularly India and China, are expected to see the fastest growth due to government soil health programs and carbon neutrality goals. The report highlights that companies integrating feedstock security and carbon certification will capture the most value.
