The Latin America biochar market size is expected to reach USD 0.41 billion in 2024 and reach USD 0.78 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2024 to 2029.
Biochar is a type of charcoal, fine-grained, and is rich in carbon. It is obtained when biomass is heated in the absence of oxygen. Used as a soil additive, it increases the quality of soil leading to rich crop growth. The growth is high in this market since excessive chemical fertilizers are used and increasing food demand.
Biochar enhances soil quality by the addition of rich minerals and nutrients. It also offers other advantages, like retaining carbon from the atmosphere. It can be used as a solution for absorbing the greenhouse gas CO2 responsible for global warming. It can retain nutrients from percolating water into the soil. While biochar is produced, it creates energy that can be utilized for other purposes. It is also water–absorbing in nature and prevents erosion of soil.
The Latin American Biochar market is driven by factors such as the agricultural sector needing more Biochar, usage of biochar increasing as livestock is used as animal feed, demand rising for organic farming, rigorous environmental regulations from the government and its usefulness in waste management among others. The restraints that this market is facing are its high prices and lack of awareness. However, awareness about it seems to be increasing rapidly.
