In 2023, the direct material input of biomass for food and feed in Finland stood at 13.07 million metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady growth trajectory with values rising incrementally each year from 13.11 million metric tons in 2024 to 13.28 million metric tons by 2028.
Year-on-year variations show:
• 2025: Increase by 0.31% compared to 2024
• 2026: Increase by 0.38% compared to 2025
• 2027: Increase by 0.30% compared to 2026
• 2028: Increase by 0.30% compared to 2027
Over the last two years, the average annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at 0.32%. This indicates a stable but slightly accelerating increase in biomass input year over year.
Future trends to watch for include changes in agricultural productivity, policy adjustments favoring sustainable biomass production, and technological advancements in biomass conversion processes. These factors could significantly influence the trajectory of biomass input volumes in the coming years.
