Market Overview

Global Methanol Market is poised to report 5.61%year-on-year growth in 2019, driven by use of methanol as
alternative fuels and chemical intermediates, which enhances the consumption of methanol across the world. Methanol
is an alcoholic compound that is used as chemical intermediate in the production of various chemicals.

End products formed from the methanol are used in wide range of applications that include construction, automotive,
electronics, paints, packaging, and many more. Efficient cost and ease of production are encouraging the methanol
companies to enhance their investments in the industry.

Moreover, at present, methanol is using as the ideal fuel for transportation sector owing to its efficient cost and
relatively more combustion when compared to other fuels in many parts of the world.

Usage of bioethanol and fuel grade ethanol as substitute to methanol is expected to hamper the global methanol
market. Further, high cost for the conversion of methane gas into liquid is hindering the growth of the market. However,
increasing demand for bio-diesels and bio-fuels from end use industries enable to overcome the market challenges in
upcoming years.

Production of methanol from the feedstock of coal is predominant due to lower cost

Large amount of methanol is generally produced from the feedstock of coal and natural gases. However, methanol
production from the feedstock of coal is cheaper than the methanol production from the natural gases.

Due to the abundance of raw materials in the countries of America and Europe the methanol producers are moving
towards the Asia Pacific countries for the establishment of production plants due less labour cost and more availability
of raw materials. Manufacturers of methanol industry are adopting the various growth strategies such as joint
ventures and agreements among themselves to expand their business in the global methanol market.

Further, based on feedstock, the global methanol market is segmented into natural gas and others.

Increased consumption of formaldehyde is expected to drive the methanol production

Major chemical products such as formaldehyde and acetic acid are produced from the methanol as chemical
intermediates. Global methanol market is driven by increasing demand for the polyvinyl acetates and vinyl alcohols
that is associated with the production of acetic acid from the methanol. Various chemicals formed from the acetic acid
are used in the wide range of applications such as synthetic fibres, textiles, inks, and pesticides.

In addition to these, the global methanol market is segmented based on derivative into gasoline, and methanol to
olefins/methanol to propylene (MTO/MTP), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), dimethyl ether (DME), methyl methacrylate
(MMA), biodiesel, and others.

Increased use of methanol as alternative fuel in automotive industry is driving the methanol market

Methanol is used as an alternative fuel when blended or combined with or without gasoline and diesel in the
automotive engines lead to the huge methanol demand. By using the methanol as alternative fuelin the petrol engine
and diesel engine, the efficiency and the life span of the engine is increased as well as reduce the pollution by
boosting the octane number when compared with regular fuels. Further, in automotive industry, methanol is used as an
anti-freezing agent for automobile radiators.

Further, the global methanol market is segmented based on application into construction, electronics, paints &
coatings, appliances, insulation, pharmaceuticals, packaging (pet bottles), solvents, and others.

Asia Pacific methanol market is the fast growing in terms of methanol demand

Asia Pacific region is expected to grow uniformly and leads the global methanol market in terms of volume and the
value due to rapid growth in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

In Asia Pacific region, countries such as China, the methanol demand is highly dependent on the feed stocks which is
proportional to the growth of methanol production. More number of research and development activities are
organised on the use of methanol as the alternative fuel for automobiles emerging towards the methanol growth in the
Asia Pacific region. Further enhancement in the advance technologies is taking place in Asia Pacific region, which
propels the global methanol market growth rate.

Further, regional analysis is segmented for countries across Europe, North America, South & Central America and
Middle East & Africa.

Key players participating in the global methanol market

Key players that are participating in methanol market globally are BASF SE (Germany), Atlantic Methanol Production
Company LLC (West Africa), BP plc. (United Kingdom), Celanese Corporation (United States), Clariant
AG(Switzerland), Coogee Chemicals(Austrailia), Enerkem(Canada), Ecofuel SpA(Italy), Haldor Topsoe A/S(Denmark),
