Factors that drive the growth of the bio-alcohols market are, the demand for greener fuel coupled with providing long-term energy security to supply energy in line with economic developments and sustainable environmental needs. Volatility in crude oil prices is also expected to provide significant growth opportunities to the bio-alcohol industry players. However, factors such as utilization of food grains as feedstock and compatibility of biofuels with automotive frameworks may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
In 2015, bioethanol was the leading segment, with more than four-fifths of the market share in terms of revenue, followed by biomethanol. Bioethanol offers higher octane fuel alternative for gasoline and it is used for other energy oriented applications such as power generation. These biofuels are environment friendly as they minimize the emissions generated from vehicles. Furthermore, its applications in airplanes, trucks, buses, as fuel cells, and medical industry accentuates the growth of the market.
Transportation segment generated the highest revenue in 2015, followed by power generation applications. The use of biofuels will reduce pollution and reduce the global dependence on non-renewable fuel sources. Bio-alcohols are generally used as additives with gasoline owing to incompatibility with metal, composite, or elastomeric components.
According to Eswara Prasad, Team Lead, Chemicals & Materials at Allied Market Research, "Strict regulations for automotive emissions along with prevalent need of securing long-term energy supply in emerging economies are the prime drivers for bio-alcohols market. However, infrastructural challenges associated with the use of these biofuels may hamper the market growth during the forecast period."
