Bioremediation Market Poised to Reach USD 31.27 Billion by 2030, Driven by Shifting Pollutant Focus and Regional Momentum

Introduction

The bioremediation market is set to expand significantly over the coming years, according to the latest research from Mordor Intelligence. In 2025, the bioremediation market size is estimated at USD 19.23 billion, and it is forecast to climb to USD 31.27 billion by 2030. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.22 percent over the forecast period.

As environmental regulations grow stricter, especially around contaminants like PFAS and industrial effluents, demand for effective cleanup solutions is intensifying. At the same time, improvements in microbial techniques and real-time monitoring are enabling more reliable and cost-effective remediation.

Key Trends in the Bioremediation Market

Tightening Regulation and Pollutant Complexity

One of the main drivers pushing bioremediation market growth is the tightening of discharge and cleanup standards around chemical contaminants, especially PFAS and emerging substances. In many jurisdictions, regulators are demanding near-zero residual levels of PFAS in wastewater discharges, prompting greater use of biological methods over conventional chemical treatments.

At the same time, industrial sites increasingly face mixed contamination scenarios (hydrocarbons, heavy metals, solvents, PFAS). This complexity challenges microbial systems, especially where multiple contaminants can suppress microbial activity. The need to tackle these complex pollution profiles is guiding investment toward more robust consortia, hybrid treatment schemes, and deeper R&D.

Cost Efficiency of In-Situ and Real-time Monitoring

In-situ techniques (where treatment happens without excavation or removal of soil) already lead the market in terms of revenue share. In 2024, in-situ approaches accounted for over 54 percent of market revenue. These methods help reduce logistics, handling, and transport costs. Meanwhile, ex-situ techniques are projected to grow at a faster rate due to advances in modular systems, bioreactors, and membrane-based microbial treatments.

Brownfield Decommissioning & ESG-Driven Demand

The wave of decommissioning in oil & gas, especially in mature offshore basins, is creating steady demand for long-duration remediation projects. Biological methods offer lower disruption and environmental co-benefits, making them more appealing as contractors manage site cleanup over many years.

Another tailwind is the rise of ESG-linked financing. Investors and institutions increasingly require verifiable environmental outcomes as part of funding conditions. Firms that can demonstrate remediation performance through validated metrics or dashboards gain incremental advantage in securing contracts and capital. This trend is pushing more clients to adopt bioremediation solutions that can be measured and documented.
