Global Biosolids Market Demand Opportunity and Share 2021-2025 [ 2023 UPDATE Available – Forecast 2023-2030*]

The global biosolids market is witnessing substantial growth as an effective solution for reusing waste material and addressing the challenges associated with wastewater management. Biosolids, organic materials derived from the treatment of domestic and industrial sewage sludge, offer significant potential for converting wastewater into a valuable resource. With an estimated 80% of worldwide wastewater being released untreated into the environment, the need for sustainable solutions has never been more critical.

According to recent market research, the global biosolids market was valued at US$1.4 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach US$1.9 billion by 2025, representing a healthy growth rate of 4.7% during the period from 2021 to 2025. In 2018 alone, over 35 million tonnes of biosolids were produced globally for beneficial use, with Europe accounting for more than 25% of the consumption. European Commission and European Governments have actively supported the use of biosolids as an environmentally friendly waste disposal solution. Furthermore, countries in the Asia Pacific region, particularly China and India, are investing in sludge management strategies and alternative treatment methods to reduce reliance on landfilling and incineration.

The classification of biosolids is based on regulations, with three main categories: Class A, Class B, and Class A (EQ). Class A biosolids, meeting stringent pathogen-free standards, are suitable for applications involving public contact and are approved by governing bodies such as the U.S. EPA. Class B biosolids, while containing a lower level of pathogens, are commonly used in agricultural and land reclamation applications. However, due to issues such as odor, vector attraction, and pathogens, there is a significant shift in customer preference from Class B to Class A and Class A (EQ). These two categories are expected to account for over 50% of the total biosolids market by the end of the forecast period.

Agriculture currently represents the largest consumer of biosolids, accounting for over 60% of the market in 2018. Biosolids offer high nutritional value, containing micro and macro nutrients that make them valuable as fertilizers, soil replacements, or soil conditioners. Other key applications of biosolids include forestry and landscaping, land reclamation, construction materials, and heat generation.

Government support plays a crucial role in driving the adoption of biosolids management programs, as regulatory bodies push for the phase-out of landfilling and incineration. The European Union and the U.S. Government are closely monitoring these waste management aspects and implementing strict regulations. Biosolids contribute to the circular economy by recycling carbon and nourishing vegetation for CO2 capture, aligning with the goals of sustainability. The recycling of biosolids into agriculture is recognized as the best environmental option by the U.K. Government and the EU.

Despite the numerous benefits offered by biosolids, challenges remain. Malodour has become a concern, leading to negative publicity and the need for better public support. Effective and safe management of biosolids, given their large quantities, is a significant challenge for communities. It is crucial for the public and stakeholders to understand that biosolids are a necessary byproduct of modern sanitation, playing a key role in waste management and sanitation practices.

While the global biosolids market continues to grow, certain factors may hinder its expansion, such as transportation costs, difficulties in raising capital for new plants, and the complexities associated with wastewater disposal.

Key players in the global biosolids market, including Cleanaway, SUEZ, Veolia, and Thames Water, are implementing integrated business operations and exploring partnerships with fertilizer companies to develop new application avenues. Technological advancements and disruptive innovations are anticipated in the coming years, as companies like Aries Clean Energy and Mannco focus on developing cost-competitive, energy-efficient, and high-quality biosolids solutions.

The global biosolids market presents a compelling case for transforming waste into a valuable resource, reducing reliance on commercial fertilizers, and promoting sustainable practices across various industries. With increasing regulatory pressure, a rising demand for circular economy initiatives, and growing awareness of the benefits of biosolids, the market is poised for significant growth in the foreseeable future.
