Regional Snapshots
China is the topmost manufacturer of paints and coatings worldwide. They generated an output of more than 20 million ton of coatings, that is near to 30% of the worldwide coatings generated. It currently generates more than 50% of the coatings in Asia-Pacific and is a native to more than 10,000 paint companies, in which local manufacturers own more than half of the local paint market share. The production is estimated to supply to the demand for various derivatives, such as formaldehyde, MMA nd acetic acid, and boost the requirement for methanol.
The Indian government is promoting methanol consumption as a fuel in vehicles and cooking to enhance sustainable development keeping in view the least environmental damage done.
Asia-Pacific was leading the global market share. Methanol usage is rising in this sector due to the increasing petrochemical industry and rising usage of methanol-based fuel in China, Japan, and India.

Market dynamics
Drivers
Methanol is used as a parent substance or as a source in the manufacturing of various other chemical substances and products. Due to its properties of being similar to the original fuel products with ignition, and easy supply it is being opted as an alternative fuel in numerous transportation systems. It is called as wood alcohol as a result of its derivation from distillation of wood, but with development in technology various methods have been commercialized for manufacturing the same. Rising shift to methanol as blended fuel in numerous transportation systems due to the awareness related to the environment; this acts as a major factor which is expected to drive for the market growth. Consumption of natural resources for utilization as fuel results in growth for various alternative options and solutions; this segment is expected to evolve as a driver for the market growth.
Restraints
The pandemic of COVID-19 paused the operations in many fields of numerous countries. The manufacturing, construction and automotive sectors are projected to suffer declines in growth and output, pertaining to the lockdowns laid by governments for a considerably long period of time. This had led to a substantial decline in the growth of the market during the forecast period. Reduction in the movement of population owing to get risk factors associated with the pandemic, the need for various fuel components showed a considerable decline. As a result of the lockdown, functioning of the food outlets came to a halt resulting in reduced consumption of cooking fuel. Thus, the demand and consumption of methanol declined drastically, proving to be an obstacle during the market's growth.
Opportunities
Rising utilization of methanol for manufacturing dimethyl ether and Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), which is utilized as the substitute for gasoline, is estimated to propel the growth. DME is utilized as a fuel (diesel) in the passenger carrying transports and aerosol propellant. It is also proportionately mixed in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an important component.
Major opportunities such as the growing demand for bio-based products, the advancement in technology for biorefining and the consumption of methanol as a marine fuel can be considered by the manufacturers to get closer to the projected growth.
Growing tourism has also proved to be a great opportunity owing to the increasing consumption of natural gas, both for transportation and for cooking. These factors combine to offer attractive opportunities to the market during the forecast period.
Challenges
Consumption of natural resources for utilizing as a fuel resulting in rise for various substitute products and solutions; but the lack of supply proves to be a challenge for the market. Increasing cost of conversion of methane into liquids for the utilization in different applications and end-user population proves to be a challenge for the market growth. Due to the lack of cost effective and advanced technology available the demand and supply chain of methanol is hampered to a great extent and thus it poses a challenge to the market. Challenges such as the variable methanol prices also creates a fluctuation in the demand. Economic stagnation which is hampering the demand for methanol and the norms & policies are the challenges being faced by the industry at this moment.
