Methanol Market, By Feedstock (Natural Gas, Coal, and Oil), By Application (Pharmaceutical, Automotive, Paints, Solvents, and Packaging), By Derivatives (Formaldehyde, Dimethyl Ether, Gasoline, Chloromethane, MTBE/TAME, and Acetic Acid), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa) - Trends, Analysis and Forecast till 2030

Introduction:

Methanol Market accounted for US$ 3.45 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 5.77 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.3%.

Methanol is also referred to as a methyl alcohol. This chemical is the simplest alcohol having a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group. It is volatile, light, colorless, and flammable liquid, which is more toxic/harmful as compared to ethanol. It is produced from various feedstock including – natural gas, coal, biomass, waste and waste CO2 as well. It is used as the parent/ precursor in order to produce other chemicals including acetic acid, formaldehyde, and dimethyl ether. Methanol reduces greenhouse gases and as methanol biodegrades easily, it can be considered as a safer alternative for its competing products such as gasoline, crude oil, etc. 

Increasing Demand of Methanol Market

The driving factor for methanol market is its increasing use in transportation and construction sector. Methanol is also being used widely in electronics and electricals, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, waste water treatment plants etc. Methanol is basically used to reduce CO₂ emission and also as an antifreeze agent for automobile radiators. The use of methanol mixed with gasoline increases the fuel efficiency and the engine performance. Some innovative applications such as MTP (methanol-to-propylene) and MTO (methanol-to-olefins) have witnessed rapid growth in this target market across the globe. Methanol is used to produce formaldehyde which is widely used in explosives, owing to which its growing demand in formaldehyde production is boosting growth of the target market. However, high cost associated with the processing of methanol coupled with, lack of technological advancement in this process is major factors expected to hamper growth of the target market to certain extent over the forecast year.

Methanol market has been segmented on the basis of feedstock, applications, derivatives and region.

On the basis of feedstock, the target market has been sub-segmented as natural gas, coal, and oil. On the basis of applications, the global methanol market is divided into pharmaceutical, automotive, paints, solvents, and packaging. On the basis of derivatives, the target market is sub-segmented into formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, gasoline, chloromethane, MTBE/TAME, acetic acid.

Regional Insights:

The Methanol Market accounted for US$ 3.45 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 5.77 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.3%. On the basis of region, the target market is sub segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific methanol market is expected to account for major revenue share as compared to that of other regions. This can be attributed to rapid growth in end-use verticals, increasing production of methanol availability of labor, and increased consumers demand in the countries of the region especially in the China and India. China alone produces large amount of the world’s methanol, and utilizes this fuel for transport.
