The global renewable methanol market is poised for substantial growth, projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% during the forecast period, reaching over USD 398.1 million by 2033.
As it is used in the chemical sector to make acetic acid, formaldehyde, and plastics, there is expected to be an increase in demand for renewable methanol throughout the projection period. To produce polyethylene and polypropylene, much more biomethanol is now being used. Moreover, the main applications of biomethanol are as fuel for industrial boilers, vehicles, ships, and kitchen appliances.
The key reasons behind the market expansion include decreasing or eliminating CO2 emissions to prevent climate change drastically and the increased emphasis on limiting the average global temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C. This suggests that emissions throughout the economy are net zero by the middle of the century.

In some industries with few choices for carbon emission reduction, biomethanol has been more effective as a feedstock in the chemical industry or as a fuel for land or marine transportation.
Low petrol costs are also affecting the use of renewable methanol. Due to weak domestic and global demand, several EU, Brazil, and United States production facilities have cut their output. As a result of the decreased demand, renewable methanol stocks are predicted to rise across several markets, driving down prices and jeopardizing profitability.
