Methanol Market is to grow at a 5.53% CAGR, with Asia-Pacific leading the market through 2030

Methanol Market is expected to reach USD 64.73 Bn by 2030. Growing use as a feedstock for the production of highly sought-after chemicals like acetic acid, formaldehyde, and methyl methacrylate is driving the market's expansion.

Market to Hit USD 64.73 Bn by 2030

The methanol market is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.53% from 2024 to 2030, from its 2023 valuation of USD 42.08 billion to USD 64.73 billion. Asia-Pacific will consume over 60% of the world's methanol by 2024, with China being the biggest consumer, accounting for almost 40% of the demand. Where methanol is extensively used in the manufacturing of plastics, acetic acid, and formaldehyde. The use of methanol as a sustainable fuel by the automotive industry and motorsports, particularly Formula 1 and IndyCar, is predicted to increase the demand for fuel-grade methanol at a 7.3% CAGR between 2025 and 2030. Government initiatives around the world to support renewable, greener energy sources are propelling the market for methanol as a low-carbon fuel alternative. The United States is the largest user, accounting for a substantial 15% of the worldwide methanol market by region. This is due to the country's increasing need for alternative fuels and methanol-based products. Methanol is gaining popularity as a clean fuel despite the European market being smaller than the Asia-Pacific. This is because Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are concentrating on methanol-based fuel cell technology.

Market Segmentation

By Feedstock: Natural gas is the leading feedstock for methanol production, holding approximately 81% of the market share in 2024. The process of producing methanol from natural gas involves converting synthesis gas into methanol, followed by distillation to achieve high purity. 

Based on End User: The automotive sector is projected to dominate the methanol market, accounting for 24% of the market share by 2030. Methanol’s high-octane rating and compatibility with existing infrastructure make it an attractive alternative fuel for internal combustion engines. 

Market Regional Analysis

North America, particularly the United States, methanol production has surged due to the shale gas boom, making production more cost-competitive. The USA has become a leading producer and exporter of methanol, with significant production facilities in Texas and Louisiana. 

Asia-Pacific, is the largest market for methanol, accounting for around 66% of the global share in 2024. China, the world’s largest consumer of methanol, significantly influences this region's dominance. 

Middle East & Africa, is also a growing hub for methanol production, primarily driven by low natural gas prices. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran are key players in methanol production due to the region’s vast natural gas reserves. 

Market Competitive Landscape 

Celanese: On February 2024, Celanese Corporation and Mitsui & Co. announced an extension of their joint venture, Fairway Methanol LLC, which aims to increase methanol production using recycled CO2 at Celanese's Clear Lake site in Texas. 

Methanex Corporation: On May 2024, announced significant progress in the construction of their Geismar 3 (G3) methanol plant in Louisiana. The plant is set to produce 1.8 million tonnes of methanol annually, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainable production.

Nauticol Energy: On March 2024, decided to withdraw from its USD 4 billion blue methanol project in Alberta, Canada. This decision follows challenges in securing the necessary investments and regulatory approvals.
