日本甲醇市场规模、份额、趋势及预测(按应用和地区),2025-2033Japan Methanol Market Size, Share, Trends and Forecast by Application and Region, 2025-2033 |
2024年,日本甲醇市场规模达22亿美元。展望未来, IMARC Group预计到2033年,市场规模将达到35亿美元,2025-2033年期间的复合年增长率(CAGR)为4.91%。市场成长的驱动力源自于对清洁能源解决方案(例如甲醇基燃料和燃料电池)日益增长的需求,这与日本的碳中和目标相符。此外,甲醇作为化学品製造(尤其是甲醛和乙酸)的关键原料,以及人们对永续发展的可再生甲醇日益增长的兴趣,也支撑了市场的成长。
燃料应用对甲醇的需求不断增加
甲醇作为清洁能源,尤其是在燃料应用方面的需求大幅成长,有利于日本甲醇市场的成长。随着日本致力于减少碳排放和实现碳中和,甲醇作为交通和发电的替代燃料正受到越来越多的关注。甲醇可用于燃料电池、与汽油混合或转化为二甲醚 (DME),一种更清洁的燃料。此外,政府鼓励绿色能源替代品的努力,加上甲醇基技术的发展,也推动了这个趋势。这一趋势将进一步刺激燃料需求,企业纷纷向甲醇制汽油 (MTG) 和甲醇制烯烃 (MTO) 製程投入资金。再生甲醇生产的进步也为市场提供了支撑,这与日本的永续发展目标一致。同时,全国对能源需求的加速成长,为日本甲醇市场前景创造了积极的前景。 2024年5月23日,日本三菱重工(MHI)与NGK INSULATORS公司合作开发膜脱水系统,旨在提高生物乙醇和电甲醇的生产效率,降低能源消耗和成本。此次合作将充分利用三菱重工在甲醇工厂製程设计和营运方面的现有优势,并与NGK先进的陶瓷膜技术相结合,助力日本实现脱碳目标并推动下一代燃料替代品的发展。
甲醇在化学製造中的使用日益增多
化学製造业不断增长的需求正在积极影响日本甲醇的市场份额。甲醇是生产甲醛、乙酸以及製造塑胶、黏合剂和溶剂所必需的许多其他衍生物的重要原料。鑑于日本强大的工业基础和强大的创新导向,化学工业越来越依赖甲醇,因为它用途广泛且经济高效。此外,随着企业专注于满足永续原料的要求以遵守严格的环境法规,生物基和再生甲醇也越来越受到关注。电子和製药业对高纯度甲醇的需求也推动了这一趋势。 2024年11月26日,Biofriends Inc.宣布已将报恩一号工厂用生物甲醇生产的生物二甲醚(BIO DME)出口到日本。这是首批符合日本严格标准的生物基化学品。该公司正在扩大对日本主要企业的出口,为碳中和技术领域做出贡献,并协助推动日本及海外对甲醇的需求。随着日本继续优先考虑技术进步和永续实践,甲醇市场有望实现成长,这得益于其在化学生产和工业应用中的关键作用。

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.
