Methanol Market, By Types (Formaldehyde, Acetic Acid, Dimethyl Ether, Chloromethane, Gasoline and MTBE/TAME), By Application and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa) Analysis, Share, Trends, Size, & Forecast from 2019 2025
REPORT HIGHLIGHT
The Methanol market was valued at USD 25.1 billion by 2018, growing with 7.2% CAGR during the forecast period, 2019-2025.
Methanol is a single carbon chemical which is produced from natural gas, coal, biomass. This compound is an efficient fuel and emits lesser particulate matter (PM) and NOx as compared to substitute compounds. This colourless liquid solidifies at −93.9 °C and boils at 64.96 °C. Traditionally, methanol was produced through the destructive distillation of wood.
Currently, the production method is based on the direct reaction of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gas. More than 60% of global methanol is consumed for the production of methyl and vinyl acetates, acetic acid, methylamines, methyl methacrylate, fuel additives, and other chemicals. The other portion is converted into formaldehyde and related products.
Market Dynamics
The methanol industry growth is majorly attributed to the development of new end uses (e.g. production of light olefins (methanol-to-olefins, MTO)), shift in regional demand dominance coupled with the emergence of new production centres globally. On contrary, high processing cost for conversion of methane to liquid will hamper the industry growth. Additionally, lack of efficient production technologies to meet existing product demand may hamper the overall market development to some extent.
Segment Takeaway
The global methanol industry is segmented as formaldehyde, acetic acid, and dimethyl ether. Of which, formaldehyde is considered to be the largest segment due to its diverse applications in various industries such as paints, explosives, plastics, plywood among others.
Regional Takeaway
Regionally, Asia Pacific accounted for the highest revenue share with China and India emerged as the dominant country in terms of methanol production and consumption. For example, in 2017, China captured over 50% of worldwide methanol consumption. Although, other countries such as the U.S., Iran, India and South America are following the footsteps of China.These countries are actively producing methanol due to its abundant availability and low prices. Growth in these economies is also attributed to the strong development of construction sectors that utilizes formaldehyde compound as a major product.
Key Vendors Takeaway
Key companies present in this market include Eastman Chemical Company, Atlantic Methanol Production, Celanese Corporation, BASF SE, DuPont, Antig Technology Company Limited, China XLX Fertilizer Limited, and Methanex Chile Limited. Companies are actively investing in research and development activities to develop efficient and cost-effective techniques in order to produce methanol.
