Latin America Methanol Market 2019-2027

Market OutlookAccording to this research, the methanol market in Latin America is expected to proliferate with a CAGR of 4.76% in the forecast period of 2019-2027.Mexico, Brazil and countries in rest of Latin America together form the methanol market in the Latin American region. Bio-based products have witnessed a rising demand from end-users, and this is the primary factor which is expected to boost the bio-based chemical market in the coming years. Bio-based products primarily consist of plants & animals as their essential elements. They are generally made up of renewable resources which don’t contain any poisonous content or environment-damaging substances. Bio-based products help in making the economy more sustainable and also minimize the dependence on fossil fuels. The rise in the demand for bio based-products is growing faster with the benefits associated with the products such as the depletion of resources, climate change, efficient use of natural resources and less resource-intensive production. Thus, there is scope for the growth of the methanol market. Around 60% of the overall demand for methanol is for methanol derivatives like acetic acid and formaldehyde. These traditional chemicals are primarily used to manufacture consumer goods and industrial products. Economic activities influence the demand for these derivatives. Thus, the methanol market is negatively affected by any slowdown in the economy. Such slowdowns ultimately have an unfavorable impact on methanol prices.Competitive OutlookThe major organizations that have established their presence in the market are Qatar Fuel Additives Company Limited, Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) Limited (MHTL), BASF AG, Methanex Corporation, Celanese Corporation, Zagros Petrochemical Company (ZPC), Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, Valero Marketing and Supply Company, Teijin, Mitsubishi Chemicals and Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS).
