日本甲醇市場規模、佔有率、趨勢及預測(按應用和地區),2025-2033Japan Methanol Market Size, Share, Trends and Forecast by Application and Region, 2025-2033 |
2024年,日本甲醇市場規模達22億美元。展望未來, IMARC Group預計到2033年,市場規模將達到35億美元,2025-2033年期間的複合年成長率(CAGR)為4.91%。市場成長的驅動力源自於對清潔能源解決方案(例如甲醇基燃料和燃料電池)日益成長的需求,這與日本的碳中和目標相符。此外,甲醇作為化學品製造(尤其是甲醛和乙酸)的關鍵原料,以及人們對永續發展的可再生甲醇日益成長的興趣,也支撐了市場的成長。
燃料應用對甲醇的需求不斷增加
甲醇作為清潔能源,尤其是在燃料應用方面的需求大幅成長,有利於日本甲醇市場的成長。隨著日本致力於減少碳排放和實現碳中和,甲醇作為交通和發電的替代燃料正受到越來越多的關注。甲醇可用於燃料電池、與汽油混合或轉化為二甲醚 (DME),一種更清潔的燃料。此外,政府鼓勵綠色能源替代品的努力,加上甲醇基技術的發展,也推動了這個趨勢。這一趨勢將進一步刺激燃料需求,企業紛紛向甲醇制汽油 (MTG) 和甲醇制烯烴 (MTO) 製程投入資金。再生甲醇生產的進步也為市場提供了支撐,這與日本的永續發展目標一致。同時,全國對能源需求的加速成長,為日本甲醇市場前景創造了積極的前景。 2024年5月23日,日本三菱重工(MHI)與NGK INSULATORS公司合作開發膜脫水系統,旨在提高生物乙醇和電甲醇的生產效率,降低能源消耗和成本。此次合作將充分利用三菱重工在甲醇工廠製程設計和營運方面的現有優勢,並與NGK先進的陶瓷膜技術相結合,助力日本實現脫碳目標並推動下一代燃料替代品的發展。
甲醇在化學製造中的使用日益增多
化學製造業不斷成長的需求正在積極影響日本甲醇的市場佔有率。甲醇是生產甲醛、乙酸以及製造塑膠、黏合劑和溶劑所必需的許多其他衍生物的重要原料。鑑於日本強大的工業基礎和強大的創新導向,化學工業越來越依賴甲醇,因為它用途廣泛且經濟高效。此外,隨著企業專注於滿足永續原料的要求以遵守嚴格的環境法規,生物基和再生甲醇也越來越受到關注。電子和製藥業對高純度甲醇的需求也推動了這一趨勢。 2024年11月26日,Biofriends Inc.宣布已將報恩一號工廠用生物甲醇生產的生物二甲醚(BIO DME)出口到日本。這是首批符合日本嚴格標準的生物基化學品。該公司正在擴大對日本主要企業的出口,為碳中和技術領域做出貢獻,並協助推動日本及海外對甲醇的需求。隨著日本繼續優先考慮技術進步和永續實踐,甲醇市場有望實現成長,這得益於其在化學生產和工業應用中的關鍵作用。

The Japan methanol market size reached USD 2.20 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.50 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.91% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by increasing demand for clean energy solutions, such as methanol-based fuels and fuel cells, aligned with the country's carbon neutrality goals. Additionally, methanol's role as a key feedstock in chemical manufacturing, particularly for formaldehyde and acetic acid, supports growth, alongside rising interest in renewable methanol for sustainability.
Increasing Demand for Methanol in Fuel Applications
The significant rise in demand for methanol as a clean energy source, particularly in fuel applications is favoring the Japan methanol market growth. With Japan's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality, methanol is gaining traction as an alternative fuel for transportation and power generation. Methanol can be used in fuel cells, blended with gasoline, or converted into dimethyl ether (DME), a cleaner-burning fuel. Additionally, the government's efforts to encourage green energy alternatives, coupled with the development of methanol-based technologies, also drive this trend. This trend is set to further fuel demand, with corporations pouring investments into methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) and methanol-to-olefins (MTO) processes. The market is also supported by advances in renewable methanol production, which correlate with Japan's sustainability goals. Concurrently, the accelerating demand for energy across the country is creating positive Japan methanol market outlook. On 23rd May 2024, Japanese firms Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and NGK INSULATORS teamed to develop membrane dehydration systems that improve the efficiency of bioethanol and e-methanol production, by aiming to reduce the consumption of energy and costs. Working together in this way builds on MHI's existing strengths in methanol plant process design and operation to pair it with NGK's advanced ceramic membrane technology, which promotes both Japan's decarbonization goals as well as next-generation fuel alternatives.
Growing Use of Methanol in Chemical Manufacturing
The escalating demand in the chemical manufacturing industry is positively influencing the Japan methanol market share. Methanol is an important feedstock for producing formaldehyde, acetic acid, and many other derivatives essential for making plastics, adhesives, and solvents. The chemical industry is increasingly relying on methanol due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness, given Japan's strong industrial base and strong orientation toward innovation. In addition to this, the growing attention is also towards bio-based and renewable methanol as companies focus to meet sustainable raw material requirements to observe stringent environmental regulations. The demand for high-purity methanol in the electronics and pharmaceutical sectors also drives this trend. On 26th November 2024, Biofriends Inc. announced that it has exported BIO DME produced from BIO methanol at Boeun Plant 1 to Japan. This is the first shipment of a BIO-based chemical that meets Japan's stringent standards. It is expanding its exports to major Japanese companies, contributing to the carbon-neutral technology field, and helping to promote methanol-based needs in Japan and abroad. As Japan continues to prioritize technological advancements and sustainable practices, the methanol market is poised for growth, driven by its critical role in chemical production and industrial applications.
