The global wood vinegar market was valued at $3.2 million in 2015, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during 2016-2023. The factors driving the growth of the global market include improved crop yield, increasing base of end-use industries, increased government initiatives for bio-based products, and stringent environmental regulations. The key trend witnessed in the global market is poverty alleviation. Wood vinegar (Pyroligneous acid) can be produced at either small scale or large scale in villages, utilizing local resources and feedstock. Wood vinegar production is helping to reduce poverty in several developing or underdeveloped countries. The global wood vinegar market is at its nascent form. Currently, very fewwood vinegar producersacross the globe are involved in large scale production of wood vinegar. However, the distinct governments and organizations in several countries across the globe are framing regulations for bio-based economy and promoting bio-based products, which are supporting the growth of biochar production and biorefineries. As wood vinegar is a byproduct of char or biochar production, the government initiatives indirectly creates abundant opportunities for the growth of the wood vinegar market globally.
