Outlook on the Methanol Market: Size, Demand & Trends to 2032
According to Fortune Business Insights the global methanol market was valued at USD 31.26 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 46.32 billion by 2032, growing from USD 32.70 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during the forecast period. The global methanol market is set to grow astonishingly backed by the rising shift of the transportation industry towards methanol-powered vehicles. The main reason for this is that methyl alcohol reduces the emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Methanol is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a smell similar to ethanol. Due to its toxicity, it is often blended with ethanol to create denatured alcohol for industrial use. Its growing use as a feedstock in producing chemicals like solvents and plastics, along with the shift toward sustainable fuels, is expected to boost market growth. Its versatility supports a wide range of applications in a rapidly evolving global market.
