Methanol Market Growth & Trends

The global methanol market size is anticipated to reach USD 64.14 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2025 to 2030. Exceptional blending capacity and high-octane rating of the product are the key factors driving the consumption of methanol as fuel.

世界のメタノール市場規模は、2030年に641億4,000万米ドルに達すると予想されており、2025年から2030年にかけて9.1%のCAGRで成長すると予測されています。製品の優れたブレンド能力と高オクタン価は、燃料としてのメタノールの消費を促進する主な要因です。

Methanol, also referred to as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a clear and volatile liquid that is flammable and has a scent similar to that of ethanol or drinking alcohol. It is one of the most commonly used industrial chemicals. It serves as a precursor in the production of various other chemicals, such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), Dimethyl Ether (DME), biodiesels, olefins, and more.

メタノールはメチルアルコールまたはウッドアルコールとも呼ばれ、透明な揮発性液体で、可燃性があり、エタノールや飲用アルコールに似た香りがあります。最も一般的に使用されている工業用化学物質の 1 つです。ホルムアルデヒド、酢酸、メチル tert-ブチルエーテル (MTBE)、ジメチルエーテル (DME)、バイオディーゼル、オレフィンなど、さまざまな化学物質の製造における前駆物質として使用されます。

Increasing demand for acetic acid, formaldehyde, and DME are the key drivers for the methanol industry’s growth in Asia Pacific. In addition, the product’s supply and demand across Asia Pacific are projected to be stable during the forecast period, with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

methanol-market-share

A few methanol manufacturers are integrated into the value chain as they manufacture and distribute methanol through various sales channels to different end-use industries in different regions of the world. Some manufacturers of methanol involved in its distribution are BASF SE, Methanex Corporation, and Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC).

Using methanol-to-olefin (MTO) catalysts has significantly improved olefin production from methanol or coal feedstocks as an alternative approach to the naphtha cracking process. Increased olefin yields have been the primary driver of the global demand for MTO.
