Global biosolids market continues demonstrating strong growth, with its valuation reaching USD 6.98 billion in 2024. According to the latest industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8%, reaching approximately USD 9.60 billion by 2032. This expansion is largely fueled by increasing wastewater treatment activities globally and stricter environmental regulations promoting sustainable waste management solutions.
Biosolids, the nutrient-rich organic materials derived from wastewater treatment processes, are becoming increasingly valuable for agricultural applications due to their content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter. While North America currently dominates market share, Asia-Pacific shows the most promising growth potential due to rapid urbanization and infrastructure development.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
North America leads the global biosolids market with over 40% share, driven by mature wastewater treatment infrastructure and stringent environmental regulations like the U.S. EPA’s Part 503 Rule. The region benefits from advanced treatment technologies and established distribution networks for agricultural applications.
Europe follows closely, with countries like Germany and the UK leading in circular economy initiatives and anaerobic digestion technologies. The EU’s Sewage Sludge Directive ensures high treatment standards, though landfill restrictions in some countries continue to drive innovation.
Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region, with China’s wastewater treatment sector processing over 40 million dry metric tons of sludge annually. Urbanization rates exceeding 2.3% in countries like India and Vietnam are accelerating investments in treatment infrastructure, though inconsistent regulations and infrastructure gaps remain challenges.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market is driven by three main factors: the global push toward circular economy models, stringent environmental regulations limiting landfill use, and increasing agricultural demand for organic soil amendments. Over 50% of biosolids in developed markets are now used in agriculture, with this percentage growing as treatment technologies improve safety standards.
Significant opportunities exist in waste-to-energy applications, with thermal technologies like gasification reducing biosolids volume by up to 90% while generating renewable energy. Value-added products such as pelletized organic fertilizers and specialized formulations for turf management are creating premium market segments worth an estimated $1.2 billion by 2027.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite growth prospects, the industry faces several hurdles. Public perception remains a significant barrier, with concerns about contaminants limiting adoption in some agricultural applications. High transportation costs, due to biosolids containing 70-80% water even after dewatering, create economic challenges for widespread distribution.
Emerging contaminants like pharmaceuticals and microplastics present regulatory uncertainty, as scientific consensus on their impacts is still developing. Climate change impacts, including changing precipitation patterns, are adding operational complexities for storage and land application.
