The demand for wood pellets is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, owing to the rising global demand for renewable energy to reduce the usage of fossil fuels that contributes to global warming.

The commercial heating industry, a huge potential market for pellets, is already showing some exciting advances in Eastern Europe and is expected to continually grow the demand for wood pellets in the commercial sector during the forecast period. They can generate enormous amounts of potable or non-potable hot water for use in big central heating systems for providing process heat during a specific phase of a manufacturing procedure.
As the global electricity demand is rising, new power generation facilities are being established, along with capacity enhancements of the existing ones. Companies are opting for renewable sources to generate electricity owing to stringent implementation of regulations related to carbon emissions which will be driving the demand for wood pellets during the forecast period.
