メタノール市場：世界の産業動向、シェア、規模、成長機会、2023-2028年予測

市場概要：

世界のメタノール市場規模は2022年に345億米ドルに達しました。今後、IMARC Groupは、市場は2023年から2028年の間に5.1%の成長率（CAGR）を示し、2028年までに470億米ドルに達すると予測しています。

メタノール（CH3OH）は、一般に木質アルコールとして知られ、独特の臭いを持つ無色透明で揮発性の液体アルコールです。最も単純なアルコールで、メチル基とヒドロキシ基が結合したものです。以前は木材の破壊的蒸留によって製造されていたが、現在では触媒の存在下で一酸化炭素ガスと水素を直接結合させることによってメタノールが調製されます。蒸発率や放射熱エネルギーが低いだけでなく、水、アルコール、エーテル、ケトンなどのさまざまな溶媒に混和します。こうした特性から、一般溶剤として、また樹脂、医薬品、香水の製造に広く使用されています。

市場促進要因：

メタノールは入手が容易で非常に効率的であるため、自動車産業では輸送用燃料や自動車のラジエーター用不凍液として広く使用されています。これに加えて、従来のガソリンに代わる安全な代替燃料であるジメチルエーテル（DME）やメチルtert-ブチルエーテル（MTBE）の製造にも使用されています。また、バイオディーゼルの必須成分となり、内燃機関で使用されます。これ以外にも、アルコールはホルムアルデヒド、酢酸、酢酸メチルの製造にも多く使われています。これらの化学物質はさらに、接着剤、塗料、合板、溶剤、発泡体、プラスチック、爆薬の製造にも使われます。さらに、メタノールは生分解が容易で環境に優しいため、原油、ガソリン、ディーゼルなどの代替品よりも好まれています。

Market Overview:

The global methanol market size reached US$ 34.5 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 47.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2023-2028.

Methanol (CH3OH), commonly known as wood alcohol, is a light, colorless and volatile liquid alcohol with a distinctive odor. It is the simplest type of alcohol and consists of a methyl group linked with a hydroxy group. Earlier produced by the destructive distillation of wood, methanol is now prepared by directly combining carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It not only has a low rate of evaporation and radiant heat energy but is also miscible in different solvents like water, alcohol, ether and ketones. On account of these properties, it is widely used as a general solvent and to produce resins, pharmaceuticals and perfumes. 

Market Drivers:

Since methanol is readily available and extremely efficient, it is extensively used in the automotive industry as a transportation fuel and antifreeze agent for automobile radiators. In addition to this, it is employed in the manufacturing of Dimethyl ether (DME) and Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), which are safer alternatives to traditional gasoline. It also forms an essential component of biodiesel and is used in internal combustion engines. Apart from this, the alcohol also finds numerous applications in the manufacturing of formaldehyde, acetic acid and methyl acetate. These chemicals are further used in the production of adhesives, paints, plywood, solvents, foams, plastics and explosives. Furthermore, since methanol biodegrades easily and is eco-friendly in nature, it is preferred over counterparts like crude oil, gasoline and diesel.
