The Biochar market is witnessing significant growth driven by its increasing use in agriculture, waste management, and environmental applications. Biochar is a carbon-rich, fine-grained substance obtained through the thermal decomposition of organic materials under limited oxygen conditions (pyrolysis). It offers multiple benefits, such as improving soil fertility, enhancing crop yield, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and sequestering carbon.

The global biochar market is expected to reach USD 3,429.58 million in 2034, based on an average growth pattern, and the report projects that the market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% from 2024 to 2034. Revenue from the global biochar market is projected to reach USD 758.36 million by 2024.
