Wood Pellets Market size was valued at USD 14.64 Billion in 2024 and is poised to grow from USD 16.07 Billion in 2025 to USD 33.96 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period (2026–2033).
The Wood Pellets Market is growing due to the need to limit the use of fossil fuels, which contributes to global warming, and because they are a clean, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and renewable biomass. This is expected to help the industry expand over the course of the projection period. A constant supply of feedstock was ensured by the quick restoration of timber production, which also had a smaller effect on wood pellet manufacturers.
The growing production of wood pellets in the United States is mostly a result of rising demand from the global Wood Pellets Market. Some countries import wood pellets from the United States because they are unable to meet their own demand for the fuel by producing their own energy from biomass from their own forests and industrial infrastructure. Pellet companies have two options for getting their wood biomass directly from private landowners through loggers or indirectly through wood traders. Manufacturers can also obtain wood fibre from mill residuals, which are byproducts of the paper and sawmill sectors in the forestry sector. In this supply model, transportation costs are often the biggest cost factor for mill residuals because they are more affordable than pulpwood and roundwood.
There are many distinct shipping companies, brokers, and traders, and the market for each of them is incredibly intricate and dispersed. The number of ports and routes that are both inexpensive and capable of handling large volumes of wood pellets is also limited due to the special characteristics of the transportation of wood pellets.
US Wood Pellets Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global Wood Pellets Market is segmented by Application, End Use and region. Based on Application, the market is segmented into Heating, Power Generation, Combined Heat and Power (CHP). Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Residential, Industrial and Commercial. Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa.
The use of heating is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 5.9% throughout the projection period. There are laws and activities in many countries that pertain to the use of wood pellets for heating. One of the primary elements contributing to the growth rate's unavoidable increase is the growing demand for wood pellets in the commercial and residential heating industries, which is compelling producers to create them in enormous quantities.
In 2022, the Wood Pellets Market share for the power generating application was 28.6%. As a result of factors including urbanization, industrialization, and population expansion, governments are making efforts to switch to biomass power generation as demand rises. Decentralized energy generation made possible by rural electrification is likely to drive the market throughout the forecast period, driving up demand for biomass gasifiers.
Having generated USD 3.71 billion in revenue in 2022, the residential Wood Pellets Market is anticipated to expand significantly over the next five years. Due to qualities like being green, purifying, sustainable, etc., wood pellets are becoming more and more well-liked by household users. Cat litter and horse bedding can also be made from wood pellets, which are frequently used in homes for heating and cooking.
Over the course of the projection period, the commercial segment is anticipated to develop somewhat. In place of gas, oil, and electricity, wood pellets are a sustainable option. Fossil fuels are currently the most popular fuels used in commercial greenhouses, although doing so has a substantial impact on the environment and raises heating expenses.
