Biomass Boilers Global Market Report 2026

A biomass boiler refers to a type of boiler that uses organic materials, such as wood pellets, wood chips, agricultural residues, or other biomass resources, as fuel to generate heat or electricity. These boilers are designed to burn biomass efficiently, providing a renewable and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Biomass boilers can be used for heating homes, businesses, or industrial processes, and they play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing carbon-neutral fuel sources.

The main types of biomass boilers are stokers, bubbling fluidized beds, circulating fluidized beds, and others. A stoker biomass boiler is a type of boiler that uses a mechanical system to feed fuel into the combustion chamber, where it is burned to generate heat. It is used in various applications, such as heating and power generation, and by end-users in residential, commercial, and industrial.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the biomass boilers market by increasing costs of imported steel components, combustion systems, heat exchangers, and electronic control units. Industrial and commercial heating installations in Europe and North America are most affected due to reliance on imported boiler systems, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures on export-oriented manufacturing. These tariffs are raising installation costs and project budgets. However, they are also supporting local boiler manufacturing, regional supply chains, and innovation in efficient biomass combustion technologies.

The biomass boilers market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.54 billion in 2025 to $9.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of renewable energy policies, increasing use of agricultural and forestry residues, adoption of biomass heating in rural areas, improvements in boiler efficiency, growth of industrial heat demand.

The biomass boilers market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in carbon-neutral heating solutions, rising adoption in commercial and industrial sectors, expansion of decentralized energy systems, growing focus on energy security, increasing integration of smart boiler controls. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of renewable heating systems, rising adoption of automated biomass combustion controls, growing demand for high-efficiency boilers, expansion of biomass-based district heating projects, enhanced focus on emission reduction technologies.

The rising demand for renewable heating solutions is expected to drive the growth of the biomass boilers market in the coming years. Renewable heating solutions utilize energy from renewable sources to provide heat for residential, commercial, or industrial applications. Biomass boilers support these solutions by offering environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and stable heat generation, while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance energy security, and promote a transition to cleaner energy. For example, in June 2023, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), a US-based state energy agency, reported that U.S. heat pump sales exceeded gas furnace sales for the first time, with over 4.3 million units sold compared to 3.9 million gas furnaces, reflecting a growing adoption of electric and renewable heating solutions nationwide. Consequently, the increasing demand for renewable heating solutions is boosting the biomass boiler market.

Key players in the biomass boilers market are focusing on developing and commissioning advanced biomass-fired boiler systems to enhance renewable heat generation, improve fuel efficiency, and support industrial decarbonization. Biomass boilers use organic materials such as wood chips, agricultural residues, or biofuels to produce steam and heat, providing a low-carbon alternative to fossil-fuel-based systems. These solutions help industries lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce operating costs, and comply with stricter environmental regulations. For example, in June 2023, ANDRITZ, an Austria-based industrial machinery and process engineering company, commissioned a new biomass boiler plant for Hungrana in Hungary. The boiler generates 32 tons of steam per hour from biomass fuel and is designed to significantly cut natural gas consumption while improving energy efficiency in production processes, supporting broader adoption of biomass-powered heat generation in industrial operations.

In September 2024, Boccard, a France-based industrial engineering company, acquired Leroux & Lotz Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Boccard to expand its renewable thermal energy solutions by integrating Leroux & Lotz Technologies' expertise in biomass and waste-fired industrial boilers, combustion systems, and energy recovery technologies. Leroux & Lotz Technologies is a France-based industrial boiler manufacturer specializing in biomass boilers and solid-fuel thermal plants.
