Yanayin Kasuwa na Yanzu a cikin Masana'antar Methanol

Kasuwar methanol ta duniya tana fuskantar gagarumin canji, wanda ke haifar da haɓaka tsarin buƙatu, abubuwan geopolitical, da yunƙurin dorewa. A matsayin abinci mai sinadari iri-iri da madadin mai, methanol yana taka muhimmiyar rawa a masana'antu daban-daban, gami da sunadarai, makamashi, da sufuri. Yanayin kasuwa na yanzu yana nuna duka kalubale da dama, wanda aka tsara ta hanyar yanayin tattalin arziki, canje-canjen tsari, da ci gaban fasaha.

Buƙatun methanol ya kasance mai ƙarfi, yana goyan bayan aikace-aikacen sa mai yaduwa. Amfani na al'ada a cikin formaldehyde, acetic acid, da sauran abubuwan sinadarai suna ci gaba da ƙididdige kaso mai tsoka na amfani.
