Global Methanol Automotive Fuel Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Methanol Automotive Fuel market size is predicted to grow from US$ 311 million in 2025 to US$ 528 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Methanol fuel is an alternative biofuel for internal combustion and other engines, either in combination with gasoline or independently. Methanol (CH3OH) is less expensive to produce sustainably than ethanol fuel, although it produces more toxic effects than ethanol and has lower energy density than gasoline. Methanol is safer for the environment than gasoline, is an anti-freeze, keeps the engine clean, has a higher flashpoint in case of fire, and is the equivalent of super high-octane gasoline in terms of the resulting horsepower. It can readily be used in most modern engines with a simple software setting tweak and occasionally a change in a cheap fuel seal or line. To prevent vapor lock in any possible circumstances due to being a simple, pure fuel, a small percentage of other fuel or certain additives can be included. Methanol (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group) may be made from hydrocarbon or renewable resources, in particular natural gas and biomass respectively. It can also be synthesized from CO2 (carbon dioxide) and hydrogen. Methanol fuel is currently used by racing cars in many countries but has not seen widespread use otherwise.
Offering advantages such as a high octane rating, cleaner combustion with lower emissions, and compatibility with modified existing engines, methanol can be produced from natural gas, coal, biomass, or even renewable hydrogen and captured CO₂. However, its adoption has been limited due to challenges like its lower energy density (requiring larger fuel tanks), corrosivity demanding specialized materials, lack of widespread refueling infrastructure, and safety concerns around toxicity. Despite these hurdles, ongoing innovations in blend technologies, engine design, and emerging “green methanol” production are gradually positioning it as a feasible transitional fuel in regions like China, North America, and Europe.
