Wood Pellet Market: Key Drivers 

According to the report, increasing consumption of wood pellets is triggered by promotion of reusing agricultural produce or forest wood in industrial processes. North America's climate change concerns is compelling the region's wood pellet manufacturers towards resource & feedstock optimisation. Meanwhile, wood pellets are successfully replacing fossil fuels such as charcoal in specific heating applications. The report reveals that 1 ton of wood pellets have the potential to provide raw thermal energy equivalent to that of 2.8 barrels of crude oil.

In future, wood pellets are also expected to be in great demand for their low carbon emission properties, compared to fossil fuels. However, the market's robust growth is likely to be restrained by inability of pellet manufacturers in fulfilling certification criteria, and the gradual reduction in sawmill residue caused by technological intervention in sawing industries. Electricity generation, however, is observed as a lucrative opportunity for boosting the use of wood pellets.

Western Europe - Lucrative Region for Growth of Wood Pellets Market 

The report also reveals that in 2017 and beyond, around 70% of the global market sales will be concentrated in Western Europe. Although, towards the end of 2027, Western Europe's market share is poised to witness a dip, while Eastern Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) regions will witness a significant rise in their market share. Some of the key excerpts of the report include:

• Throughout the forecast period, over half of the market's value will be accounted by forest & wood waste feedstock
• In 2016, an estimated 8.6 million tons of wood pellets were consumed by free standing pellet stove application
• The global market for wood pellets is also expected to witness sizeable growth in terms of volume, registering a CAGR of 8.5% through 2027
