Industrial Ethanol Market Description

The production of industrial ethanol is projected to increase from about 115.6 billion liters to nearly 128.4 billion liters by 2025. The biggest manufacturer of industrial ethanol is Asia and it is also the largest consumer of industrial grade ethanol, holding nearly 50 percent of the global market share. The second largest consuming region for industrial grade ethanol is Europe with a broad support from industries such as personal care (15 percent), cleaning products (10 percent) and food & beverage (10 percent), accounting for more than 2.5 billion liters. The growth in these sectors significantly impacts the ethanol demand market.

The ethanol industry is highly fragmented with well over 2,500 producers globally. However, a major portion of these producers manufactures fuel-grade ethanol with very few industrial ethanol productions. The report covers the best industry practices for the procurement of industrial ethanol that takes place through a contract, as industry buyers tend to perform procurement on a bulk basis. To reduce the exposure to supply risk, industrial ethanol buyers usually purchase a mix of 80:20 ratio, i.e., 80 percent under contract and 20 percent under spot buying.

Industrial Ethanol Global Market Outlook

The global industrial ethanol market is set to grow at a CAGR of 2 percent over the next five years

Non-fuel ethanol accounts for approximately 20 billion litres of the total ethanol production. In other words, 15-20 percent of the total ethanol consumption is for non-fuel applications such as chemicals, plastics, pharmaceutical and beverage industries, including cosmetics, cleaning products, paints and alcoholic drinks
Key regions driving growth: Growth in Asia, Brazil and Europe will be driven by the demand from the solvents and chemical intermediates sector

Industrial Ethanol Demand Market Outlook

The global non-fuel ethanol market is balanced in mature markets like the US and Europe, having sufficient supply; while demand is marginally higher in the emerging markets like China and Brazil

Brazil is looking to leverage on the existing capacities and reducing exports, while China is dependent on imports from other Asian markets

Industrial Ethanol Global Market Production

Non-fuel ethanol (or ethyl alcohol) is used in the manufacturing process for a wide range of products in industries across chemicals, plastics, pharmaceutical and beverage industries, including cosmetics, cleaning products, paints and alcoholic drinks. Its use in applications other than fuel blending accounts for approx. 5.4 billion gallons (20 billion litres) of ethanol.

Industrial Ethanol Global Supply-Demand Analysis

Demand and production is expected to grow in tandem and the market is expected to remain balanced with a very narrow supply-demand gap

Asia is the center for industrial ethanol market, as it is the largest producer as well as consumer of industrial grade ethanol, accounting for slightly over 50 percent of the market
Europe, with its large base of pharmaceutical, personal care and food & beverage industries, is the second largest consuming region for industrial grade ethanol, accounting for more than 2.5 billion litres

Market Outlook

Between 2014 and 2021, non-fuel ethanol demand is expected to continue growing at the rate of 2 percent, driven by growth in demand from the Asian region, which is the biggest consumer of industrial ethanol
Recent capacity additions in Europe, which is a major consumer (importer) of non-fuel ethanol, will bring down its dependency on other exporting markets such as South America and Asia (Pakistan)

Industrial Ethanol Global Demand by Application

Globally, solvents occupy the lion’s share of the industrial ethanol demand market, at 63 percent, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3 percent . Chemical intermediates, which account for 37 percent of the global demand share, is expected to grow at a slightly higher growth rate of 3.5 percent over the next three years
Applications pertaining to CPG & FBT markets have a significant share in the total demand market: Personal care (15 percent), cleaning products (10 percent) and food & beverage (10 percent). Hence, growth in these sectors significantly impact the ethanol demand market
