Methanol Industry in North America - Forecast, Size, Growth, Opportunities, and Trends to 2021 - Research and Markets

DUBLIN

The "Methanol Industry in North America - Forecast, Size, Growth, Opportunities, and Trends 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

Demand in the North American methanol industry is on the rise, even though methanol prices have been facing a downturn. Methanol market supply remains strong across the region and the market witnesses a high demand for formaldehyde, acetic acid, and MTBE. In between though, the North American methanol industry had witnessed a decrease in formaldehyde and MTBE demand due to the poor construction and housing market. The recession of 2008 and 2009 further aggravated this situation.

Growth in the North American methanol industry is expected to remain steady as natural gas remains available at a cheap rate. However, the region faces tough competition from new capacity additions in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

Methanol is currently being used in transesterification stage of biodiesel manufacturing process. Given the fact that numerous biodiesel projects are under consideration or construction stage, the demand for methanol is likely to increase in this space and compensate for some of the demand lost to MTBE.
