Global Methanation Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Methanation market size is expected to reach $ 276 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Methanation is a chemical reaction that converts carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide to methane. Methanation is garnering significant attention as industries and governments seek sustainable solutions for energy production and carbon management. The importance of this process lies not only in its ability to produce synthetic natural gas but also in its potential to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
This report covers technology license, engineering, equipment and catalysts.
The global key manufacturers of Methanation include Johnson Matthey, Topsoe, Electrochaea, Wood, Hubei Huihuang, ThyssenKrupp AG, INPEX, Taiyuan Heavy Industry Co., Ltd (TYHI), BASF, Kanadevia Corporation, etc. In 2023, the global top 5 players had a share approximately 65% in terms of revenue. As industries increasingly focus on carbon reduction strategies and sustainable practices, these companies are well-positioned to benefit from growing demand.
Industrial applications dominate the methanation market. Methanation is key in producing synthetic natural gas, which can be injected into existing gas networks or used as a fuel for heating and power generation.
Environmental application is the fastest-growing application market. This segment includes the use of methanation technologies for carbon capture and utilization (CCU), converting captured CO2 into methane. Environmental regulations and climate commitments drive this application, making it vital for industries seeking to achieve carbon neutrality.
The Asia-Pacific region stands out as the largest market for methanation, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and stringent environmental policies. Countries like China, mainly concentrated in industrial application, such as coal-based natural gas industry, are leading the way in adopting methanation technologies to address air pollution and meet renewable energy targets.
