The global production capacity of methanol reached approximately 171.84 million metric tons in 2022. The global methanol production capacity is expected to grow by more than 80 percent between 2021 and 2030. This growth is attributable to planned methanol plants, mainly located in the Former Soviet Union, the Middle East, and Asia, that are expected to come online between 2021 and 2030.
