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.

Prevalent
Scenario in Methanol Market
Methanol
is extensively utilized at filling stations and as alternative fuel
which is expected to drive the demand for methanol. Methanol is
widely used at various industries such as construction, automotive,
textile, and furniture industries. Increased activities in these
industries have further boosted the demand for methanol across the
globe. Energy and petrochemical industries have increased their
production which has led to high demand for methanol in these
industries. Formaldehyde and acetic acid are widely used derivatives
of methanol across the globe. Natural gas is the primary source of
feedstock for manufacturing methanol. Asia Pacific is the leading
market for methanol across the globe. China dominates the methanol
market in Asia Pacific. China has been utilizing coal as the primary
source of feedstock for methanol production owing to its low cost and
easy availability. Share of coal feedstock is expected to increase
owing to increase in share of China in global methanol market.
Future
Outlook of Methanol Market
