Biomass pellets are effective and convenient bedding materials that are used in animal bedding applications. Biomass pellets are made from compressed sawdust and other wood fibers, formed into cylindrical shapes with diameters ranging from 6 to 8 mm. Wood pellets have several characteristics, specifically high absorbency, attributed to low moisture content and dense composition. Further, wood pellets can be spread evenly over the animal bedding area, forming a cushion and absorbent layer. Biomass pellets also have odor-absorbing properties, which aid in minimizing unpleasant odors, as these are easy to clean and compost. The demand for wood pellets for bedding has increased for horse bedding applications in the past few years. The adoption of biomass pellets for animal bedding applications has further prompted manufacturers and organizations to invest in research and development projects related to wood pellets. For instance, in 2019, European Commission, under Horizon 2020 program, funded approximately US$ 9.09 million for the ECO-Pet project. The project aims to develop value-added products such as wood pellets from residuals of the sawmilling process and disused wood waste from conifers and hardwoods. The developed wood pellets were durable, absorbent, and 38% cheaper than other animal bedding products. The ECO-Pet project is aligned with European Commission’s Circular Economy Strategy. Thus, the adoption of biomass pellets for animal bedding is contributing to the biomass pellets market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Biomass Pellets Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely altered the status of the chemicals & materials sector and negatively affected the biomass pellets market growth. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has aggravated the situation and negatively impacted the growth of various industries. As a result, there was a sudden distortion in operational efficiencies and disruptions in the value chains; many industries faced several challenges owing to the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the import and export of biomass pellets in different countries, hampering the biomass pellets market growth. The shortage of wood pellets due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused prices to increase rapidly across the globe. However, several companies operating in the manufacturing industries revived their businesses owing to the ease of restrictions. Hence, the demand for biomass pellets is rising across the globe, especially among the residential and industrial sectors.
