The Methanol Market was valued at approximately USD 73.8 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of around 10.3% during the forecast period 2025-2033

The global methanol market is set to grow at a CAGR of around 4% over the forecast period, driven primarily by rising demand from industries such as construction, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. According to a recent study by UnivDatos Market Insights, increasing use of methanol derivatives in construction materials and chemical production is a key factor propelling market expansion.

Rising Demand for Methanol Derivatives

Methanol serves as a critical feedstock for producing several derivatives including formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, and methyl methacrylate. Among these, formaldehyde holds a major market share due to its widespread application in manufacturing particleboard, plywood, adhesives, and insulation materials—essential components in the booming construction sector. As global infrastructure development accelerates, especially in emerging economies, the demand for these methanol-based products continues to rise.

In the chemical and polymer industry, methanol is crucial for producing olefins like ethylene and propylene through the Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) process. These olefins are building blocks for a wide range of consumer goods, including plastics, synthetic textiles, and paints, further supporting methanol market growth.

Industry & Regional Insights

By industry, chemical and polymer applications dominate the market, owing to the extensive use of methanol in manufacturing industrial chemicals. The transport sector also contributes significantly, especially with methanol being used in fuel blending, biodiesel production, and fuel cells.
