Methanol-To-Gasoline Technology Market Global Report 2026

The methanol-to-gasoline technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.26 billion in 2025 to $1.36 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for alternative transportation fuels, increasing concerns over energy security, growing availability of methanol feedstocks, rising demand for high-octane gasoline, and increasing interest in non-crude oil fuel production.

The methanol-to-gasoline technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by increasing adoption of renewable methanol production, rising demand for low-carbon transportation fuels, growing investment in synthetic fuel infrastructure, increased utilization of biomass- and waste-derived feedstocks, and ongoing development of efficient MTG catalytic processes. Major trends during the forecast period include greater adoption of natural gas-based methanol-to-gasoline production, increasing utilization of biomass-derived methanol for gasoline production, growing development of renewable methanol-to-gasoline pathways, increased deployment of high-octane synthetic gasoline production, and wider adoption of advanced MTG catalyst technologies.

The increasing oil prices are expected to drive the growth of the methanol-to-gasoline technology market going forward. Oil prices refer to the market value of crude oil traded globally and serve as an important benchmark for transportation fuel production costs. Oil prices are increasing due to production restrictions and supply management measures adopted by major oil-producing countries, which have limited supply amid steady demand and contributed to higher prices. Increasing oil prices directly affect the economic viability of methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) technology, as higher crude oil prices raise gasoline values, thereby improving the competitiveness, profitability, and investment attractiveness of methanol-derived fuels. For instance, in January 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a US-based government energy statistics organization, benchmark Brent crude oil prices increased from an average of $78 per barrel in December 2023 to $89 per barrel in April 2024, representing an increase of approximately 14.1%. Therefore, increasing oil prices are driving the growth of the methanol-to-gasoline technology market.

Major companies operating in the methanol-to-gasoline technology market are concentrating on developing advanced methanol conversion technologies, such as integrated power-to-X e-methanol production systems, to facilitate low-carbon gasoline production and support the shift toward sustainable transportation fuels. Integrated power-to-X e-methanol production systems are renewable energy-based production configurations that combine green hydrogen generated through electrolysis with captured carbon dioxide to produce e-methanol, which acts as a sustainable feedstock for catalytic gasoline synthesis. For instance, in May 2026, European Energy, a Denmark-based renewable energy company, launched the Kass繪 Power-to-X facility conversion project in collaboration with Mitsui & Co., a Japan-based trading company. The project converted e-methanol into gasoline-range fuels using CAC METHAFUEL catalytic conversion technology, producing several gasoline grades, including RON95 E10, RON98 E10, and RON102, while demonstrating the scalable integration of renewable methanol into conventional fuel supply chains.

In October 2023, Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco), a Saudi Arabia-based integrated energy and chemicals company, partnered with ENOWA to develop the first-of-its-kind synthetic electro-fuel (e-fuel) demonstration plant in NEOM. Through this partnership, Saudi Arabian Oil Company and ENOWA aimed to demonstrate the technical and commercial feasibility of producing low-carbon synthetic gasoline using renewable hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide (CO₂), supporting the advancement of circular carbon economy technologies and accelerating the development of sustainable transportation fuels. ENOWA is a Saudi Arabia-based energy and water company specializing in renewable energy, green hydrogen, water management, and sustainable infrastructure solutions.
