Anaerobic digesters are systems designed to decompose organic matter, such as food waste, manure, or sewage, in the absence of oxygen. These systems are used for waste management and renewable energy production, offering environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing soil health.
The main types of anaerobic digesters include up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), internal circulation reactor (IC reactor), and expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) digesters. The up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) digester allows wastewater to flow upward through a sludge bed, where anaerobic bacteria break down the organic matter. UASB digesters are used in various industries, such as paper, food and beverage, and chemicals, and serve a range of end-users including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
The anaerobic digesters market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides anaerobic digesters market statistics, including anaerobic digesters industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with anaerobic digesters market share, detailed anaerobic digesters market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the anaerobic digesters industry. This anaerobic digester market research report delivers a complete perspective on everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The anaerobic digesters market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.59 billion in 2023 to $10.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increased biogas production, environmental regulations promoting sustainable practices, stringent government rules and regulations, and the rising need for sustainable waste management solutions.
The anaerobic digesters market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.77 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing significance of anaerobic digestion, growing adoption driven by environmental concerns, the rising popularity of third-party ownership, rapid growth in the sector, and the escalating need for sustainable waste management solutions. Major trends expected during this period include technological advancements, decentralized anaerobic digestion systems, a rise in small-scale systems, integration with renewable energy sources, and improved management of digestate.
The growth in biogas production is anticipated to drive the expansion of the anaerobic digesters market. Biogas production involves generating renewable gas from organic waste through anaerobic digestion. This increase is fueled by the demand for renewable energy sources, the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, the desire to manage organic waste sustainably, and efforts to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Anaerobic digesters are key to biogas production as they efficiently decompose organic waste in an oxygen-free environment, producing biogas that can serve as a renewable energy source. For example, in December 2023, the European Biogas Association reported that Europe's total biogas production (including both biogas and biomethane) reached 21 bcm in 2022. This accounted for 6% of the EU's natural gas consumption, with biomethane production increasing from 3.5 bcm in 2021 to 4.2 bcm in 2022. Thus, the rise in biogas production is driving growth in the anaerobic digesters market.
Companies in the anaerobic digester sector are focusing on innovative solutions, such as micro anaerobic digester systems, to meet the increasing demand for sustainable waste management. Micro anaerobic digester systems are compact, closed biological reactors designed to decompose organic waste, such as food scraps, agricultural residues, or sewage, in an oxygen-free environment. For instance, in February 2023, BioFactory, a UK-based provider of energy equipment and solutions, introduced the Micro AD Farm. This micro anaerobic digester system is specifically designed for smaller dairy farms with 100 to 500 cows. It enables farmers to convert cow slurry into renewable energy, helping to reduce energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The system's modular and scalable design allows for easy expansion and quick installation, making it suitable for farms with limited resources. Additionally, it improves slurry quality, benefiting soil health and nutrient uptake in crops.
In December 2023, Ares Management, a US-based asset management firm, acquired Burnham RNG for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Ares Management's renewable natural gas portfolio and support the development of waste-to-value projects, driven by the growing demand for sustainable waste management and renewable energy. Burnham RNG, a US-based developer of organic waste management and anaerobic digestion biogas assets, will contribute to this effort.
