Methanol is a clear liquid chemical that is biodegradable and water-soluble. It is comprised of one-part carbon, one-part oxygen, and four parts hydrogen. It is commonly known as methyl alcohol (CH₃OH) and is produced from coal, natural gas, and renewable sources such as biomass, recycled carbon dioxide, and municipal waste. The spend momentum of this market will be attributed to the growing demand for the formaldehyde segment that is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5%-5.3% during the forecast period. Formaldehyde is extensively used as one of the chief raw materials to produce urea-alkyd resins that are currently experiencing high demand.
