The South and Central America methanol market is expected to reach US$ 1,154.31 million by 2028 from US$ 914.49 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2021 to 2028.

 

Methanol is extensively used in producing various chemicals and compounds, such as plastics, adhesives, insulation materials, textiles, and food chemicals. The demand for plastics is increasing and positively favoring the methanol market due to the growing automotive industry regionally. The automotive industry largely uses plastic polymers to manufacture a vehicle's interior structure and other components, such as bumper, fuel system, wheelhouse, door handles, brake pads, and under the hood components. The application of plastic components significantly reduces the vehicle's weight, increases its fuel efficiency, and meets environmental regulations regarding carbon emissions from fossil fuels. According to the report of Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), over 57.26 million vehicles were produced between January and September of 2021 and recorded growth of more than 10% compared to the first three quarters of 2020. In addition, the automotive industry uses adhesives for assembling, bonding, and sealing all types of cars and truck components to provide the highest safety. Thus, the growing automotive industry is accelerating the methanol application, thereby positively influencing the market growth.

Methanol is witnessing its high demand from the medical industry as it is widely used as a preservative in many liquids formulations-based medicines. Furthermore, various methanol derivatives are extensively used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. For instance, formaldehyde, a derivative of methanol, is used as an antibacterial and antiviral agent during the manufacture of vaccines. Formaldehyde has a large application to manufacture and treat hard gel capsules for the purpose of delayed release of drug. Also, it is used for the treatment of warts and excessive foot sweat and odor along with to manufacture floor disinfectant products.

Moreover, acetic acid, another derivative of methanol, is widely used in medical applications, such as antiseptic against pseudomonas, enterococci, streptococci, staphylococci, and other bacteria. In addition, acetic acid is used to detect cervical cancer and treat infections. Hence, the growing application of methanol as a feedstock for producing various chemical compounds is bolstering its demand in various end-use industries.

 

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the growth of the South and Central America methanol market during the forecast period.
