Ethanol Market - Insights, Size, Share, Opportunity Analysis, & Industry Forecast till 2025 Ethanol commonly known as ethyl alcohol is colorless and flammable chemical compound with an agreeable odor and taste. It is renewable, and can be produced by the fermentation of starch and sugar based biological materials and cellulosic feedstock, such as sugarcane, wood, wheat, corn, and barley. Corn and starch based crops are majorly used for the production of ethanol. Ethanol is highly soluble in water and most of the organic solvent, due to this it is widely used as a solvent in various industries. Further, it is extensively used as a preservative in pharmaceutical industries and it is a major component in producing alcoholic beverages.

The ethanol market has witnessed a rapid growth over the past 10 years due to rapid funding for biofuel by the regulating bodies, since biofuel is considered as an eco-friendly alternative for gasoline. Further, according to the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, one liter of ethanol significantly reduces CO2 emissions by more than 95%, thereby saving approximately 2.3 Kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2). Further, ethanol is also responsible for reducing carcinogenic and particulate emissions by approximately 65% to 70%. However, rising raw material prices is one of the major factors barring the growth of the ethanol market globally. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), global production of corn is expected to fall by 3.31%, reducing by 1.8 million tons by 2018, from 1031.86 million tons in 2017. This is expected to create a shortfall of corn with high procurement costs, which is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the ethanol market. However, the impact of this restraint is expected to remain medium throughout the forecast period due to the fluctuation in the production of raw materials. Based on the process used, the ethanol market has been segmented into dry milling and wet milling. Furthermore, dry milling process dominated the global ethanol market both by revenue and by volume in 2016 and is expected to lead the market throughout the forecast period.
