Methanol
Gain insights into the methanol market within the context of the value chain for strategic planning and investment identification.
Where historically it had been part of a supply-driven market, the emergence of manufacturers in Asia (most notably China) has changed the industry dynamics. A key basic chemical with many versatile applications derived from various feedstocks, methanol is being used in an ever-increasing range of ways.
As production and consumption have expanded globally, the applications have changed with methanol-to-olefin conversion becoming a key output. Methanol has transformed from being
an easy derivative of natural gas to a profit-generating, valuable commodity capitalising on the booming petrochemical market and thus becoming a demand driver for the future.
