REPORT DESCRIPTION
Methanol Market Overview
Methanol is a liquid which is manufactured mostly through oxidization of methane or through synthesis of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen. Methanol is termed as wood alcohol since it depicts properties similar to conventional
fuels. Methanol is chiefly utilized as a fuel in vehicles as well as an antifreeze solution in automobiles. It is also
used as a feedstock for manufacturing various products such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, DME, and
others. It is used widely in numerous other industrial applications. It is a volatile, colorless, toxic, and flammable
liquid. Globally, methanol is produced at around 90 methanol plants. Most of these methanol plants are located in
Asia Pacific, Latin America, North America and others.
Methanol market is segmented on the basis of feedstock type, application, and end-use industry. On the basis of
feedstock type, the market is segmented into oil & gas and coal. Oil & gas feedstock segment is expected to
contribute the major market share in the global market. However, lower cost of coal has boosted coal based
production of methanol. On the basis of application, methanol market is segmented into formaldehyde, acetic
acid, MTBE, DME, and gasoline. Formaldehyde application segment of methanol holds major market share and is
expected to dominate the overall market during the forecast period.
