The global methanol market is projected to grow from USD 30.9 billion in 2023 to USD 38.0 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2023 to 2028. Methanol, also known as wood alcohol, is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive odor similar to ethanol. It is used primarily as a feedstock in chemical manufacturing, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, and MTBE production. Methanol also serves as an alternative fuel source and is involved in producing biodiesel and fuel for internal combustion engines. Derived mainly from natural gas and coal, methanol is crucial in various industries, such as automotive, construction, and electronics.

Based on feedstock, the coal segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during 2023 to 2028. The growth of this segment can be attributed as coal is considered to be the sustainable alternative raw material for large-scale methanol production. Coal is widely used in the areas where there is less availability of natural gas.
Based on derivative, the MTO/MTP segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during 2023 to 2028. The methanol derivative market is classified into formaldehyde, acetic acid, gasoline, biodiesel, methanol-to-olefins/methanol-to-propylene (MTO/MTP), methyl methacrylate (MMA), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), dimethyl ether (DME), among others. Due to high demand of plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, the demand of MTO is increasing in various countries such as China.
Based on sub-derivative, the olefins segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during 2023 to 2028. The demand for olefins is increasing due to the large-scale methanol production and high feedstock availability in various regions.
Based on end-use industries, the solvent segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during 2023 to 2028. This growth is due to the increasing demand for solvents in the pharmaceutical, construction, and paints & coatings industries.
Based on region, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for methanol during the forecast period. The demand for methanol market is increasing due to the continuous rise in the production of methanol for fuel additives, construction, and automotive applications in the region The excessive growth and innovation along with the industry consolidations, are expected to increase the demand of methanol in the region.
