North America Biosolids Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Class A & Class A EQ, and Class B), By Application (Agriculture Land Application, Non Agriculture Application, Energy Recovery & Energy Production, Heat Generation, Incineration, and Gasification, Oil & Cement Production, and Others) and Country Forecast 2020-2031

North America Biosolids Market size was valued at US$ 26.8 metric tons in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 37.3 metric tons by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 4.8% from 2025-2031. The government in many developed countries such as in the European region has been imposing a number of regulations restricting the usage of chemical fertilizers that effect the environment. Also growing consumer interest in organic cultivation or the cultivation which is carried without chemical fertilizers is in strong demand. Such regulatory environments have influenced the replacement of hazardous chemicals fertilizers by biosolid fertilizers to increase crop productivity. The increasing usage of biosolids as a substitute for harmful chemical fertilizers is one of the major factors driving the market.

The industry has also made a major contribution for the production of energy using the product as a fuel for the generation of heat. Moreover, the growing necessity for alternative means of energy production to adhere with the environmental regulations is expected to drive the biosolids market during the forecast period. Sewage treatment levels are rising constantly year by year due to the continuous generation of wastewater because of continues surge in the global population. Hence, biosolids are likely to continue to develop in the future as a practical and environmental friendly product. 

However, the high investment and high working cost involved in wastewater processing to achieve the product is likely to obstruct the biosolids market in the forecast period. Furthermore, restricted technological advancements are subject to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Developments

• In Mar 2023, Synagro partnered with CharTech Solutions on a high-temperature pyrolysis demonstration project. The HTP technology from CharTech Solutions offers the chance to convert biosolids into useful and renewable products like biochar and renewable energy, ultimately assisting in the decarbonization of industry and the permanent removal of harmful substances from our environment.
• In Jan 2022, in Ohio, Synagro increased its capabilities for land application services and residual management by acquiring LimeCorp, LTD. With this acquisition, they can offer more land application and lime-residual management services to a wider range of clients in the area.
