EU ENplus Certified Biomass Pellet Mill Export-Grade Environmental Granulator High Output Low Emission
Report: Driven by Carbon Neutrality Goals and Ban on High-Pollution Fuels, Environmental Pellet Mill_Biomass Pellet Mill Industry Enters a Golden Period of Large-Scale Growth
Against the backdrop of the in-depth advancement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality strategies and the full implementation of the national ban on high-pollution fuels across China, the environmental pellet machine industry is witnessing a structural boom. As core equipment for the resource utilization of agricultural and forestry waste and the substitution of clean energy, biomass pellet mill , together with mainstream products such as industrial pellet mill and environment-friendly feed pellet mill, are accelerating technological iteration, with concentrated replacement demand released in downstream sectors including industrial heating, livestock breeding and biomass power generation, marking the industry’s entry into a new stage of large-scale application.
Industry data shows that the market size of China's environmental pellet machine exceeded 26 billion yuan in 2025, and is expected to reach 29 billion yuan in 2026 with an annual growth rate of over 12%. Among them, biomass pellet mill accounts for more than 65%, serving as the core growth driver. Policy incentives continue to increase: the implementation of policies such as immediate VAT refund for comprehensive resource utilization and green credit, coupled with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' target of achieving 86% comprehensive utilization rate of crop straw by 2025, has directly stimulated over 3 billion yuan of new demand for biomass pellet mill , and straw pellet machine and wood chip granulator have also seen explosive demand. With the large-scale rate of livestock breeding rising to 68%, the replacement cycle of environment-friendly feed pellet mill equipment has shortened to 4-6 years, and the penetration rate of fully automatic pellet mill and large intelligent pellet mill has exceeded 40%.
Technologically, environmental pellet machine is upgrading towards low energy consumption, intelligence and modularization. In 2025, the proportion of intelligent pellet mill equipped with IoT remote monitoring and carbon footprint accounting functions reached 28%, an increase of 19 percentage points compared with 2020. The comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of energy-saving pellet mill has decreased by 18.7% compared with five years ago, and the compliance rate of VOCs emission exceeds 98%, fully meeting the requirements of environmental performance classification management. The regional market shows differentiated growth: East China and North China account for 50% of the national market share of industrial pellet mill and biomass pellet mill relying on industrial clusters and livestock industry advantages, while in Southwest China, benefiting from straw resource utilization policies, straw pellet machine achieves an annual growth rate of 12.4%, becoming the fastest-growing category.
The export market also performed strongly. In 2025, the export volume of environmental pellet machine increased by 42.3% year-on-year, with Southeast Asia and Europe as core export destinations. High-quality export-grade biomass pellet mill complying with EU ENplus certification enjoy a 36% premium, and high output low emission pellet mill has become a hit overseas. Industry experts stated that with the acceleration of global energy transition, plastic pollution control and the construction of "zero-waste cities", environmental pellet machine and biomass pellet mill will continue to expand in biomass energy and recycled plastic granulation fields, with the market size expected to exceed 53 billion yuan by 2030. Energy-saving pellet mill and fully automatic pellet mill will become the industry mainstream, ushering the industry into a new stage of high-quality development.
