Global Methanol Market Growth

Based on application, the formaldehyde segment is anticipated to account for a significant share of the methanol market. Methanol is used in the production of formaldehyde, which finds increased usage across several industry vertical, including  production of consumer products like furniture, carpeting, paper towel, and cosmetics. In addition, the demand for formaldehyde in the automotive sector for manufacturing fuel system components and brake pads, among others and in the construction sector for producing plywood and particle board is expected to expand the methanol market in the forecast period.

Global Methanol Market Share by Region

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the market expansion of methanol in the forecast period. The increasing use of methanol derivatives such as acetic acid, formaldehyde, and MMA, among others, across industries is contributing to the expansion of the market for methanol. The growing demand for methanol in fuel applications in the transportation sector is anticipated to be a key trend invigorating the methanol market growth in the Asia Pacific region in the forecast period.

China currently represents a significant market for methanol, owing to its increased demand in methanol gasoline blending and dimethyl ether (DME), its use as a clean transportation fuel, and the country’s ability to produce abundant quantities domestically. In China, methanol is priced at a lower value compared to wholesale gasoline, and the country is focusing on the mass production of methanol capable vehicles, including fleets of taxis and buses.

Global Methanol Market Segmentation

Methanol (CH3OH) is a light, volatile, flammable, and poisonous liquid alcohol, which is biodegradable in nature. It is also known as “wood alcohol”, and is a colourless, water soluble liquid with a mild alcoholic odour. Liquid methanol provides an excellent way to conveniently and safely store and transport energy. It is a liquid chemical which is commonly used in the production of everyday products including solvents, plastic, fuel, and cosmetics, among others. The biodegradability and clean combustion, along with a low boiling temperature of methanol also contribute to its increased utilisation across sectors.

By application, the market is segregated into:

  • Formaldehyde
  • Methanol to Olefins (MTO)
  • Fuel Applications
  • Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)
  • Acetic Acid
  • Methyl Methacrylate (MMA)
  • Methylamines
  • Others

By region, markets for methanol are:

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Latin America
  • Middle East and Africa
CAGR 2024-2032 - Market by Country

Diverse Application Potential of Methanol to Spearhead the Growth of the Methanol Market

The market for methanol is being driven by its increasing applications across various end use industries. Methanol derivatives like formaldehyde, acetic acid, and MMA are used in the production of a variety of compounds and substances. For instance, fundamental chemical products like olefins can be produced via a methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process, along with various organic compounds like dimethyl ether (DME), a potential substitute for diesel oil, which is used for better combustion performance. In addition, the increasing usage of acetic acid in the production of paints and adhesives, which are commonly utilised in the construction sector, is adding to the methanol market growth.

Further, the growing use of methanol in manufacturing formaldehyde also supports the market growth, as formaldehyde is used in the healthcare sector to produce vaccines. The market is also supported by the rising demand in other application sectors including the energy sector, wherein methanol is used in the manufacturing of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), and methyl methacrylate (MMA), among others.

The increasing use of methanol as a fuel in the automotive and aviation sectors is expected to drive its demand in the coming years. This can be attributed to the benefits of reduced fuel costs, efficient combustion, and low flammability associated with the use of methanol as a fuel alternative. The market for methanol is likely to also benefit from the increased development of methanol-based transportation systems to promote the adoption of bio-methanol products obtained from timber, agricultural waste, and other renewable resources.
