Bioethanol Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The global bioethanol market was stood around $30 billion in 2020 and is expected to showcase double digit growth during the forecast period (2021-2027). Global warming is a major concern in present scenario. In 2015, 197 members of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change came together to sign Paris Agreement and agreed to make policies to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming. Transportation sector is one of the one of the biggest emitters of CO2. Thus, with replacing fossil fuel with bioethanol could help in decarbonize the environment. Moreover, high octane number of bioethanol makes it an attractive and one of most suitable alternatives to conventional fuel. High blend of bioethanol in gasoline lessens the knocking effect in the engine thereby increasing the efficiency of the vehicle. This makes bioethanol a clean fuel owing to low emission of carbon monoxide to the environment. These factors coupled with stringent government policies would increase the demand of bioethanol market exponentially during the forecast period.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst Feedstock, starch and sugar-based category significant market share in 2020.”

Based on feedstock, bioethanol market is categorized as starch base, sugar base, cellulose base, and others. In 2020, starch and sugar-based category held the significant market. This is mainly owing to government focuses on increasing crop cultivation which are extensively used in bioethanol production. Further, cellulosic feedstocks are fuel based and include crop residues, wood residues, dedicated energy crops, and industrial and other wastes. Cellulosic feedstocks offer several advantages over starch and sugar-based feedstocks.

“Amongst End User, transportation sector held considerable market share in 2020.”

Based on end user, the market is categorized into transportation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and alcoholic beverages. Transportation sector contributes to a significant amount of greenhouse gases emissions globally therefore focuses are being made in engine modification which could be compatible with higher blends of bioethanol in gasoline.

“North America represents significant market share in Global Bioethanol Market.”

For a better understanding of the market adoption, report provide detailed analysis for major region and countries including North America (US, Canada, Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, UK, Russia, France, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, Rest of APAC), and Rest of World. North America accounted for the significant market share in 2020 and is expected showcase considerable growth during the forecast period. Government regulations regarding use of ethanol blend would also propel the market size of bioethanol. In addition to this, availability of surplus raw material for producing bioethanol is also driving the market in the region. North America is one of the largest consumers of vehicle fuel in the world and uses different ethanol fuel blends. Countries including the US and Canada, and Mexico have mandated the use of higher ethanol blends in vehicles which would increase the demand for bioethanol as it uses agricultural waste and by- products.
