Biochar Market Summary
The global biochar market size was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 2.1 billion in 2026 to USD 8.8 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 22.3% from 2026 to 2033. North America dominated the market, accounting for a revenue share of 35.1% in 2025. The industry is supported by expanding biochar production from agricultural and forestry residues, and its increasing use in soil and crop management.
Growing interest in carbon removal and increasing emphasis on sustainable biomass utilization are supporting the adoption of biochar across agricultural and environmental applications. Use in soil amendment, crop production, livestock systems, and carbon management is gaining traction as users seek to improve soil quality, enhance nutrient retention, utilize organic residues, sequester carbon, and support more resource-efficient agricultural practices.
