The global methanol industry is in a period of rapid transition, with fuels applications growing more than three times faster than traditional methanol derivatives. Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) and methanol-to-propylene (MTP) are fast-growing sectors with yet unknown market implications. The possibility of multiple MTO/MTP business models requires an understanding of various scenarios for alternate demand and supply growth trends, as well as the implications these scenarios will have on the overall methanol industry.
IHS Chemical World Methanol Analysis provides this differential scenario analysis through an examination of historical trends and near-term projections for supply, demand, production, capacity, pricing and profitability of the global methanol industries over an 11-year period (five-year history, base year, five-year forecast). Clients gain single-source access to objective data and analysis for supporting their toughest investment and planning decisions.
Clients may order IHS Chemical World Methanol Analysis in book and CD-ROM format. Included is 12-month’s access to IHS Chemical’s online capacity and supply/demand databases, with updates to the capacity database as they occur and biannual updates to the supply/demand database.
