According to the Renewable Fuels Association, as of 2018 US had 210 ethanol plants located across 27 states produced 16.1 billion gallons of clean-burning renewable ethanol. Total consumption rose to a record 16.2 billion gallons, 300 million gallons more than a year prior, driven largely by record exports of over 1.6 billion gallons as global octane demand continues to grow.
An increase in awareness about the depletion of fossil fuel resources and its impact on the environment are driving the biofuels market. In the biofuels market, ethyl alcohol occupies a major share with regard to its consumption across the world.
According to the ICIS (Independent Commodity Intelligence Services), the demand from methyl alcohol’s oil-related sector, which accounts for a 40% market share globally, is projected to witness significant growth, whereas fuel blending, MTBE, and biodiesel demand is projected to decline within a range of 7%- 20% year on year, as lockdown in countries continues to persist due to unattractive margins following the decline in crude oil prices. The growth in the pharmaceutical and personal care sectors in India is projected to drive the demand for all the major types of alcohol. In addition, the active participation of the country in the development of biofuels, such as ethanol, is a key factor contributing to the highest growth rate of the market in the country in this region.
According to OECD-FAO, in 2015, Thailand was the third-largest consumer of ethyl alcohol in the Asia Pacific region and the seventh-largest producer of ethyl alcohol across the world. The ethyl alcohol is a key segment that is projected to drive the growth of the Rest of Asia Pacific market. The growth rate of the other alcohol segment is projected to increase slowly as compared to the ethyl alcohol segment.
According to a report by the International Energy Agency, Canada recorded the highest average fuel consumption in the world per capita in 2019. It also has the largest number of heavy vehicles running on the road. Thus, the heavy vehicles running on Canada’s roads are fuel inefficient. Trucks accounted for 70% of the newly registered vehicles in Canada in 2018. Thus, to improve fuel efficiency and decrease the rate of environmental damages, the government is encouraging the use of ethanol in fuel. According to Ethanol Producer Magazine, Canada had 13 operational ethanol plants with a total capacity of 2.15 billion liters in 2019.
The APAC market is projected to witness high growth due to the increased demand in China and India. On the other hand, the growth of the ethanol market in Europe is mainly driven due to the emission targets set by the EU. North America accounts for nearly 31% of the global isopropyl alcohol produced, with the presence of market leaders such as MGP Ingredients (US) and Cargill (US).
The high demand for ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol in applications, such as fuels, pharmaceuticals, personal care, inks, and paints, is a major factor driving the growth of the global market.
Industrial alcohol is inelastic in terms of price demand. This means that the scarcity of the product causes a major increase in prices and vice versa. The alcohol industry is heavily dependent on raw materials such as sugar, corn, and wheat. The raw material prices depend on various factors such as cultivation yield, climatic conditions, and the quality of crops.
Additionally, the main crops used in ethyl alcohol production—sugarcane, corn, and wheat—are sensitive to adverse climatic conditions. Environmental deterioration has a direct effect on cultivation. All these factors result in volatility in the prices of these raw materials. The restraints for the global industrial alcohol market is mainly due to the pandemic COVID-19 which has made many companies shut down its production facilities in order to maintain safety and health. Moreover, the demand for the industrial alcohols as well as potable alcoholic beverages is rising and there is a gap in the demand and supply in certain regions of the world.
Moreover, crop production has been devastated due to floods or lack of care towards the crops which led to shortage of livestock for the alcohol production. Countries such as India and other Asian countries majorly face such similar situation causing a restrain to the industrial alcohol industry.
According to the Institute of Management Development and Research (IMDR), India, small retailers, and shopkeepers are unwilling to stock and sell agricultural commodities in the country as it can undergo spoilage. Unawareness about agricultural industrial alcohol among farmers is a major hindrance to the growth of the market.
The changing lifestyles, growing economy, and shift toward renewable resource utilization in developing economies have led to an increasing demand for alcohol in fuel and other applications. Developing countries, namely China, India, and countries in the Middle East & Africa, in the coming years, are expected to experience a strong upsurge in demand for alcohol such as ethyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol. This demand is expected to be driven by an increase in the consumption of alcohol in various sectors and the growing trend of greener technology in the energy sector. In addition, these regions also provide a cost advantage in terms of production, labor cost, and processing. High demand, coupled with a low cost of production, is a key feature that is expected to aid alcohol suppliers
Thus, South America and Asia Pacific are expected to create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers, owing to the demand for poultry products in these regions.
According to European Union regulations, a firm has to imply administrative regulations such as pre-market approval, especially in the case of alcohols being used in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care sectors. The compliance burden is also an influencing factor, in which a company has to cope with the changing regulations related to environment protection, pricing policy, immigration reform, and infrastructure improvements, among others. Firms that are not able to comply with these new and changing requirements may have to deal with the exit from the market.
Moreover, production of methanol using any carbon-based source is a capital-intensive process. The players must first identify the raw material of which they can secure economic and uninterrupted supply over a long period of time. Once the R&D and front-end engineering and design (FEED) of the project is ensured, the required time and capital investments are calculated at the pre-phase of the project. The construction of the plant also requires huge investment.
Based on type of industrial alcohol Isobutyl alcohol is a flammable liquid that should be stored and used in well-ventilated areas. It is moderately irritating on the skin and greatly irritating to the eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract. It is also secondary alcohol, which finds application mainly in the manufacture of chemical intermediates and solvents. As the demand for the chemical intermediate and solvents is rising, thus the demand for isobutyl is also increasing in the market.
Based on source, the fossil fuel segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the market in 2019. The need to reduce dependence on fossil oil as a direct source of fuel is the major driving force for the methanol market. Methanol is used for spreading gasoline supplies in many gasoline markets around the world. Industrial alcohols extracted from the petroleum or synthetic ethyl alcohol can be manufactured easily through the hydrolysis of ethylene, which is a major petrochemical. Alcohol is synthesized from petroleum by creating ethylene, and then hydrating to form ethanol. Both synthetic and fermented alcohol meant to be used for non-drinking purposes are purposely denatured to avoid liquor tax.
Based on application, chemical intermediates & solvents segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the market in 2019. This application of industrial alcohol segment accounts for the largest share in the industrial alcohol market. Benzyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are majorly used as solvents. Approximately 46% of isopropyl alcohol produced is used in industrial solvent applications, whereas around 28% of benzyl alcohol is used as solvents. Apart from use as an industrial solvent, alcohol is also used in the manufacturing of chemical intermediaries and fertilizers.
