Methanol Market

Methanol Market



Growth Factors of Methanol Market

The methanol market size was valued at USD 31.26 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 32.70 billion in 2024 to USD 46.32 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the interruption of supply chains and stopped or slowed down processes by key end-use industries, comprising construction, automotive, and semiconductor technology, thus contributing to the drop in product implementation.

The upsurge of renewable energy technologies such as solar panels and batteries also motivates product demand due to their usage in making. Moreover, the drive for viable practices in manufacturing supports with the product’s environment-friendly features as it can be derived from renewable sources such as biomass. Therefore, as the electronics industry enlarges, the market is poised for substantial progress, determined by its vital role in electronic business.

A move of the fuel industry to methanol and fuels merged with it is anticipated to expressively slow down the effects of climate change. The use of methyl alcohol as a transport fuel delivers benefits, comprising high octane fuels which diminish toxic releases when combined with fuel and the making from renewable feedstock. The extensive implementation of automobiles powered by the product would extremely lower the carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation industry. Furthermore, the substitution of dense fuel oils in the marine industry will have a progressive outcome on the methanol market growth.

Comprehensive Analysis of Methanol Market

The market can be segmented in various ways, depending on the focus of analysis such as by feedstock, by derivatives and by application. Based on feedstock, the market is classified into natural gas, coal, and biomass & renewables. Based on derivatives, the market is segmented into formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, DME, gasoline blending, biodiesel, methanol to olefins (MTO)/methanol to propylene (MTP), solvent, and others. Based on application, the market is classified into construction, automotive, electronics, and others.

North America region is dominating the methanol market share due to development of the automotive and construction industries. The demand from fueling uses, such as the making of green fuels and fuel combination is liable for development in this region.

The key players are enthusiastically contributing in planned events that are targeted at maintaining durable market position and growing market share by merger, partnerships and others. These players include Methanex Corporation (Canada), HELM AG (Germany), Southern Chemical Corporation (U.S.), SABIC (Saudi Arabia), Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. (Japan), Zagros Petroleum(Iran), PETRONAS (Malaysia), Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Japan), Celanese Corporation (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Simalin Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. (India) these market players spending severely on research and development in order to arise with more new technology so that they can maintain and improve their existing market.

In January 2024, Celanese Corporation declared, that Fairyway Methanol company, a joint venture between the company and Mitsui & Co., has began carbon capture and utilization at its plant located in Clear Lake, Texas. The plant is creating 130,000 metric tons of methanol from 180,000 metric tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide each year.
