San Francisco,5 October 2018: The global industrial alcohol market is expected to
reach USD 223.63 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. Regulatory changes by distinct governments globally, mandating
the use of ethanol in gasoline blend as an alternative fuel accompanied by
rising demand for ethanol as octane level enhancer is driving the industrial
alcohol market.
In
terms of revenue, ethanol was estimated as the largest product in 2016 and the
trend is anticipated to continue at a growth rate of 9.5% over the forecast
period. Increasing need for fuel grade ethanol is driving its growth. On
account of rising global greenhouse gas emissions, the requirement for an
alternative to fossil fuels in transportation is gaining importance. Owing to
its lower emission properties, ethanol among the other biofuels is largely
preferred as a clean fuel in transportation. Besides fuel grade, ethanol is
also available in food grade variant and is used in many industrial,
pharmaceutical and food & beverage applications.
Industrial
alcohol can be derived from various sources such as corn, sugarcane molasses,
fossil fuels, and from grains. U.S. and Brazil dominated the ethyl alcohol
market in terms of both volume and value. Corn is the largest source of ethanol
in U.S. whereas sugarcane is the largest source in Brazil.
Methanol,
which is largely derived form syn-gas, is used in the chemical industry as an
anti-freeze, intermediate, denaturant for ethanol, fuel, and solvent for the
production of various chemicals. Besides ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol,
others such as isopropyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol, are witnessing increased
applications in various end use industries.
However,
the prices of industrial alcohols are fluctuating owing to the production
disequilibrium in the raw materials such as sugar, natural gas and crop based
starches such as corn and bagasse
