Market Overview:
The global methane market is expected to grow from USD XX million in 2018 to USD XX million by 2030, at a CAGR of X.X%. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for methane from various applications such as power generation, automotive fuel, residential, and others. However, the availability of substitutes for methane may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On the basis of type, fermentation is expected to hold a major share in the global methane market during 2018-2030. On account of its benefits such as low emissions and high efficiency levels; gasification is projected to be one of fastest growing segments in terms value during 2018-2030. Regionally, North America dominates the global methane market followed by Europe and Asia Pacific respectively.
Product Definition:
A colorless, odorless gas that is the simplest hydrocarbon and is the main component of natural gas. Methane is used as a fuel and as a feedstock in chemical manufacturing.
Fermentation:
Fermentation is an organic process in which microorganisms convert food substrates into useful products. It has been a vital part of human culture since Neolithic times and continues to play an important role in agriculture, food production, and beverage preparation. Fermentation can be aerobic or anaerobic depending on the substrate (food) being used for conversion as well as the type of microorganism used for conversion.
Gasification:
Gasification is a chemical process which converts solid material into gases and vapors. It's basically done to change solid materials into gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and other elements. The main purpose of gasification is to convert the feedstock (solid) material into useful products (gases). In methane industry it is used for converting organic waste materials such as manure, agricultural waste & sewage sludge or coal mine wastes into clean energy source i.
Application Insights:
Power generation was the leading application segment and accounted for over 50% of total market volume in 2016. Increasing demand for electricity, particularly in countries such as China, India and Brazil is expected to drive the global methane market over the forecast period.
The automotive fuel segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period on account of increasing demand for vehicles fueled with natural gas or gasoline. In addition, stringent government regulations aimed at reducing air pollution are likely to propel industry expansion over the coming years. Residential applications include direct flame combustion boilers used in single housing units as well as multi-story residential buildings where hot water is required for space heating or cooling purposes.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has witnessed a surge in demand for energy due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, which has led to an increase in power generation activities. China is one of the largest producers of coal methane globally owing to large coal reserves present across the country. However, due to increasing environmental concerns, China has been shifting towards natural gas as an alternative fuel for power generation applications. This will have a positive impact on industry growth over the next eight years.
Europe accounted for 24% of total market share in terms of revenue.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for natural gas as a fuel source: Methane is the primary component of natural gas, and its demand is increasing as a result of its growing use as a fuel source.
- Rising global population: As the world's population continues to grow, so does the need for energy sources to meet their needs. Methane is an efficient and clean-burning fuel that can help meet this demand.
- Stringent environmental regulations: Governments are increasingly implementing stringent environmental regulations that call for reduced emissions of greenhouse gases like methane. This is driving investments in technologies that enable more efficient capture and utilization of methane from various sources.
