The biosolids market refers to the global market for the use and disposal of treated sewage sludge, also known as biosolids. Biosolids are the organic matter produced from wastewater treatment processes and are a valuable source of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The biosolids market is driven by several factors, including the need for sustainable waste management solutions and the increasing demand for organic fertilizers. Biosolids can be used as a soil amendment in agriculture and landscaping, as well as in land reclamation projects. The use of biosolids as a fertilizer has gained popularity due to its ability to improve soil quality and increase crop yields, while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
Furthermore, the increasing demand for energy recovery and generation has led to the development of technologies that can convert biosolids into biogas and other forms of renewable energy. This has created new opportunities for the biosolids market, particularly in regions with a high demand for energy and limited landfill capacity. The biosolids market is highly regulated, with strict guidelines governing the treatment, handling, and disposal of biosolids. The regulations vary by region, with different standards for biosolids use in agriculture, land application, and energy recovery. Geographically, the biosolids market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America and Europe are the largest markets for biosolids, driven by the growth of the agriculture and energy sectors in these regions. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the increasing demand for organic fertilizers and the development of new technologies for biosolids treatment and disposal.

Competition in the Market
According to the United Nations Environment Program, the building and construction industry accounts for around 40% of worldwide energy-related carbon emissions. To avoid this, usage of biosolids in the building sector is being rigorously scrutinised. Use of biosolids in bricks is being investigated in order to reduce pollution caused through carbon emissions.
