Bioethanol market is expected to grow from US$ 69 billion in 2022 to more than US$ 118 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 9.5% between 2022 and 2031.

Bioethanol is a biofuel derived after the fermentation of sugar beets or cereals, as well as wheat and corn or their residues. Bioethanol is a solution that meets critical needs as it offers motorists a financially controlled mobility and has a positive impact on agriculture and territories. Bioethanol plays a central role in decarbonizing transport among other solutions such as electricity or hydrogen. The most common use of bioethanol is in fuel production. Adding a proportion of bioethanol to conventional gasoline helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions during combustion. In food & beverages, there is a broad scope for the use of bioethanol as flavor enhancer, in vinegar production and as base for various drinks and confectionary. Further, bioethanol is used as a carrier and natural solvent in different cosmetics and personal care products.

MARKET DYNAMICS

The growing demand for bioethanol is attributed to factors such as increasing use of bioethanol fuel blends in different countries, and increasing focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the fuel efficiency of vehicles. Owing to a rise in global temperatures, fuel industries have searched for alternative energy sources that help lower emissions rates in combustion engines. Bioethanol is a potential alternative energy source. it benefits current engines and fuel processes by serving as an alternative to regular petrol in engines. These factors are fuelling the demand for bioethanol from the transportation sector. Further, the players operating in the market are focusing on increasing production capacity to fulfil the growing demand for bioethanol. For instance, according to the news released in October 2021, Clariant is set to officially open its first commercial-scale plant for the production of cellulosic ethanol based on the sunliquid technology. The plant is located in Podari, near Craiova, in the southwestern part of Romania.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the bioethanol market was mainly driven by the growing use of bioethanol in end-use industries such as transportation, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and others. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemical and materials sector and impacted the growth of the bioethanol market.The pandemic has caused disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials. The demand for bioethanol reduced for blending with gasoline due to lockdowns imposed to curb the spread of the virus that reduced motoring. On the other hand, there was a strong increase in bioethanol demand for hand sanitizers and various companies have re-directed their production. The bioethanol production increased in Germany despite COVID-19 pandemic. According to the German Bioethanol Industry Association’s 2021 market data for the production and consumption of certified sustainable bioethanol, the German bioethanol production, standardized for use as fuel, amounted to around 700,000 tonnes in 2021—an increase of 7.1% compared with the previous year.

As the economies are reviving their operations, the demand for bioethanol is improving further.  The relaxation of lockdowns in different countries has enabled many people to use their cars. With this, the demand for bioethanol is increasing.
