Additionally, it is expected that producing renewable methanol from agricultural and industrial waste would give the industry chances for future expansion.
Market Dynamic
GROWING DEMAND FROM THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Renewable methanol is an integral element in the chemical industry, which is implemented as a feedstock in large quantities to produce several chemicals. The chemical industry is expanding globally with increasing production, which will stimulate the market’s growth in the forecast period.
Expansion in the chemical industry will augment higher uses of renewable methanol in the production of various chemicals, ultimately contributing to the growth of market prospects.
HIGH INVESTMENT COSTS HAMPER THE MARKET GROWTH
The production of renewable methanol involves a high cost which has been a challenge in the market for many years and might affect the market’s growth in the forecast period. The expensive nature of the production process restricts the scaling up of renewable methanol.
THE RISE IN THE AUTOMOBILE SECTOR WILL CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MARKET
As the automotive industry is witnessing unprecedented growth in the upcoming years, there is an immense demand for renewable methanol, which can be used as a fuel. The market is projected to grow over the forecast period in line with the growing implementation of renewable methanol as a fuel in various vehicles to meet growing energy demands across transportation sectors.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic hurt the renewable methanol market. Supply chain disruption and raw material procurement were the major challenges faced by the market during the pandemic. Market players had to modify their working strategies to maintain a stable business operation amid the pandemic. As per the April 2020 report by OCI N.V., the demand for methanol got hindered due to the slowdown of industrial activity.
The stagnant growth in automotive, chemical, and power generation further restricted the market’s growth during the pandemic. According to Forrester Consulting Inc., consumer demand for alternative fuels is expected to grow significantly from 2020 through 2021, with Biofuel 4.0 set to comprise five percent of worldwide transportation fuels by 2024.

Segment-Wise Analysis
Why is Biomass Feedstock to Produce Next Generation Fuelling Solutions projected to ensure the most revenue during the forecast period?
At 42.0% of the market, Biomass Feedstock had the greatest revenue share. Biomass feedstocks are the most preferred feedstocks to produce renewable methanol across the globe. Low treatment cost and pre-treatment methods are some factors that provide biomass an edge over its alternatives. Production of methanol using biomass feedstocks solves two of the major environmental concerns: treatment of waste and reduction of vehicle emissions, owing to which various environment protection agencies, regulatory bodies, and regional governments provide multiple benefits and aid in the set-up of production lines and production of renewable methanol.
Why is the Formaldehyde segment expected to expand the fastest during the forecast period?
A wide spectrum of vital chemicals across the globe. About 29.0% of the renewable methanol produced worldwide is consumed in formaldehyde (HCHO) manufacturing. Chemical synthesis of formaldehyde also finds its applications in various industries, including paints and coatings, food, medicine, disinfection, and numerous others. Due to such immense use of chemicals in some rapidly growing industries, formaldehyde manufacturers are anticipated to create ample opportunities for methanol manufacturers over the upcoming assessment period of 2022-2032.
