COVID-19 Impact on Global Ethanol Market
Outbreak of COVID-19 has affected most of industries operating across the globe. Most of the leading countries across the world announced their lockdowns that has resulted into the disruption of supply chain of companies. Lack of raw materials, manpower, and leap in their off-premise sales has affected the production of ethanol. Further, reduced finished product demand from end-use industries hampered growth of the global ethanol market in 2020.
Future of Global Ethanol Market
Due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, usage of alcohol-based hand sanitizers has been increased. As per the Food and Drugs Administration’s policy; ethanol can be used as an active ingredient in the hand sanitizers. So, the leading players operating in the target industry are focusing on increasing production of ethanol in order to get competitive edge in the global market. Further, according to the data published by National Institutes of Health (NIH) in September 2020, COVID-19 can be treated using ethanol vapor inhalation. Combination drug, ethanol with aspirin is intoits 3rd phase of clinical trials and have potential to treat viral diseases. That can have positive impact on the growth of the ethanol industry.
Grain Based Source Segment Estimated Foremost Market Stake In 2022
Grain based ethanol recorded the prime market share in the global ethanol market by source in 2022. Growing manufacturing of ethyl alcohol using grain-based feedstocks is major factor expected to augment growth of the segment. Sugar & molasses-based source segment is predictable to rise at a noteworthy CAGR during the forecast time-frame.
