BAGASSE PELLET MACHINE MARKET OVERVIEW

The global bagasse pellet machine market stood at USD 0.03 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 0.03 billion in 2025, maintaining a strong growth trajectory to reach USD 0.05 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2033.

A biomass pellet machine that uses bagasse as a raw material to pelletize. This machine can also be used for straw and wood, which applies to all biomass materials. Sugarcane is crushed to extract the liquid from it. Bagasse is the term for the fibers that are left over as a byproduct after the juice has been extracted. At least three tones of bagasse are obtained for every ten tones of crushed sugarcane. As a result, a lot of sugar firms are left with a lot of bagasse.

A pellet mill also referred to as a pellet press, is a device that creates biomass material pellets. Based on their production capacity, pellet mills are divided into two primary categories: small-scale and big-scale. The bagasse pellet machine was created early in the 20th century to make animal feed. Pellet mills now have a wide range of uses, including the production of wood pellets, fuel pellets, compressed plastics, ceramic pellets, milk products, and agricultural waste, among many others.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Was Obstructed Due to the Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with bagasse pellet machines experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 virus affected the growth of almost all industries. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the hotel, tourism, manufacturing, and construction sectors. Production ceased or was severely constrained. Globally, supply chains for the construction and transportation industries and those industries themselves were hindered. This resulted in a decrease in the production of bagasse pellet machines and consumer demand, which restrained the market's expansion for these products. In contrast, businesses are gradually starting to resume their regular manufacturing and service operations.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Demand for Machine from the Poultry Sector to Drive Major Market Trends

The global bagasse pellet machine market is expected to develop due to rising demand for wood pellets and poultry feed. The machine is recognized as a significant biomass fuel source; wood pellets can be an alternative fuel to traditional fossil fuels. Wood pellets are compressed biomass cylinders, typically 40mm long and 6mm or 8mm in diameter, made from waste materials from the forestry sector, such as wood chips, sawdust, and shreds. Wood pellets' competitive advantage is well known, which presents enormous market prospects for bagasse pellet machines.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), over 28 million metric tons of bagasse are generated annually worldwide from sugarcane processing. Of this, approximately 22% is now repurposed into biomass fuel pellets, driving demand for efficient bagasse pellet machines.

• As per the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), more than 55% of pellet machine installations in 2023 were fully automated models. These systems reduced labor requirements by 40%, enabling continuous operation and improving processing of fibrous raw materials like bagasse.

DRIVING FACTORS

Government Initiatives to Boost Market Expansion

With the advantages provided by bagasse pellet machines, it has the potential to be a significant source of energy. The essential aspect of biomass pellets is that they are readily accessible and carbon neutral. Owing to these reasons, the governments of the majority of nations have introduced several programmers and incentives to encourage the use of energy made from biomass, such as biomass pellets. With the primary goal of increasing the use of biomass pellets alongside traditional fuels like coal for the generation of energy. Additionally, the establishment of plants for biomass power and bagasse cogeneration is supported by loans and advantageous subsidies from the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA).

Rise in Demand for Advanced Machines to Prosper Product Demand

The bagasse pellet machine market growth is projected to be backed by the major increase in the need for novel animal feed products to meet the needs of new breeds in livestock and poultry farming. In order to increase breeding efficiency and accuracy, new molecular breeding technologies are constantly being developed. Examples include the utilization of key genes, marker-assisted selection, and genomic selection. To create a high-quality feed for breeding stocks of alternative species with high productivity, poultry feed manufacturers are investing in innovative technology and machinery.

• According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India, over 310 biomass power and bagasse-based cogeneration projects were commissioned by 2023. Each of these initiatives boosts demand for bagasse pellet machines used in preparing raw feedstock for biomass power plants.

• According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), global sugarcane production exceeded 1.9 billion tons in 2023, generating substantial quantities of bagasse. Converting this waste into pellets helps reduce open-air burning practices, which have been linked to over 9 million tons of annual CO₂ emissions globally.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Product in the Market to Hinder Market Growth

Lack of wood supply significantly inhibits the biomass pellet market growth  by limiting the manufacture of wood pellets and driving up the price of the finished product.

• Based on industry data from the U.S. Small Business Administration, commercial-grade bagasse pellet machines can cost between $18,000 and $70,000, depending on output capacity and automation level. This capital investment is often unaffordable for small-scale processors and cooperatives.

• According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), bagasse typically contains 45% to 55% moisture, requiring pre-drying before pelletizing. The need for additional drying equipment increases both energy consumption and operational costs, limiting adoption in areas with minimal infrastructure.
