North America Biosolids Market Size
The North America biosolids market size was valued at USD 11.98 billion in 2025 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 12.38 billion in 2026 to reach USD 16.09 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 3.33% during the forecast from 2026 to 2034.
Biosolids are treated sewage sludge that is intended to be used as a soil conditioner. These are considered organic solids that are derived from the sewage treatment processes. They are rich in minerals and nutrients and are used in various sectors, ranging from agriculture to energy production. Mostly, they are used as a natural fertilizer. Biosolids have major applications in these sectors of agriculture, energy recovery, mine reclamation, water treatment, and crop fertilizer.
MARKET DRIVERS
The significant driver is the stringent government emission law, which forces chemical plants and factories to treat wastewater (sludge) to an acceptable level. Biosolids are a good alternative to chemical fertilizers, hence, the use of biosolids as fertilizers is driving the market. However, limited advancements in technology and huge capital costs are proving to be a barrier in the Biosolids market.
