The market for industrial alcohol is estimated to be valued at USD 113.26 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 180.83 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Currently, this market is gaining momentum due to the increase in demand for biofuel and the multi-functionality of industrial alcohol for various applications across many industries. Availability of feedstock such as corn, stringent regulations in the energy sector imposed by the government, and increased consumer awareness on environment safety & carbon emissions are some other factors that fuel the growth of this market.

Industrial alcohol manufacturers are largely investing in new alcohol plants to meet the increasing demand. The investments by key players in industrial alcohol, such as ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol, are witnessed to increase their production capacity. The advent of advanced biofuels in the energy sector is expected to create newer opportunities for newer feedstocks, such as cellulosic materials, agricultural waste, and whey for industrial alcohol production. Moreover, the demand for alcohols such as methyl, isopropyl, and isobutyl alcohol from the chemical manufacturing industries for the production of chemical derivatives, is an encouraging factor for key players to adopt expansion of production facilities as their strategic plan in order to maintain a balance between the demand and supply.
