Global Ethanol Market By Type Overview

Introduction:

Ethanol Market accounted for US$ 92.65 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 141.18 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.30%.

Ethanol also known as ethyl alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid with a molecular formula C2H6O. Ethanol has agreeable odor along with sweet flavor and it is widely consumed as recreational drug. Ethanol is extensively used as an alternative to the fossil fuels and widely regarded as a clean type of fuel. Along with the primarily source corn ethanol can be also produced from poplar trees, corn straw, sugarcane, wheat straw, and wood residues. Fermentation of sugars by using yeast or petrochemical processes is natural method of ethanol production. Ethanol is also used in the medical applications as antiseptic as well as disinfectant. This chemical compound is majorly used as a chemical solvent for scientific chemical testing as well as synthesis of other organic compounds. Ethanol is a volatile, colorless, and flammable liquid with formula C2H6O. Ethanol is widely used as an alternative to fossil fuels and is widely regarded as a clean type of fuel (renewable source). Ethanol can be used in combination with other fossil fuels or as a standalone fuel like gasoline and diesel. Ethanol is commonly produced from corn, but other sources include poplar trees, wheat straw, corn straw, rice straw, sugarcane, and wood residues.

Global Ethanol Market By Type Dynamics

Increasing consumption of ethanol

Increasing consumption of ethanol from the automotive industry particularly in developing countries is primary factor expected to drive growth of the global ethanol market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing use of ethanol as a fuel across the globe is another major factor expected to boost growth of the target market over the forecast period. In January 2015, for instance, in order to cater to the rising demand for ethanol in the U.S. market, Flint Hills Resources LP has purchased an ethyl alcohol production facility Southwest Georgia ethanol, LLC which is located in Georgia, U.S.

High costs associated with production

However, high costs associated with the production of specific blends of ethanol in combination with the gasoline, coupled with modifications required into the combustion engines for ethanol based fuels are major factors hampering growth of the target market. Increasing R&D investments as well as technology advancements in production technologies by key players operating in the target market, in order to gain competitive edge is expected to support growth of the global ethanol market in near future.
