What's Inside a Bonafide Research`s industry report?
A Bonafide Research industry report provides in-depth market analysis, trends, competitive insights, and strategic recommendations to help businesses make informed decisions.
Methanol (or methyl alcohol) is a colorless liquid essentially produced from natural gas or coal. Methanol is a commodity product, which can either be used directly or further transformed to produce a wide range of chemicals that ultimately find applications in diverse sectors (construction, textiles, packaging, furniture, paints, coatings, etc.). Methanol markets are fairly fragmented; formaldehyde synthesis remains methanol’s single-largest outlet. Other major outlets include the production of olefins, methyl tert-butyl ether/methyl tert-amyl ether (MTBE/TAME), blending component for gasoline, and dimethyl ether (DME). The methanol demand pattern is relatively complex and influenced by several distinct market forces, including fuel prices, fuel consumption, environmental policies, biofuel mandates, chemical demand, plastics consumption, and housing markets.
Global core methanol manufacturers include Methanex, Proman etc.The top 5 companies hold a share about 30%.Asia Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 63%, followed by North America and Europe with the share about 15% and 12%.
