What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the ethyl alcohol market?
Rising demand for ethanol in the food processing industry is contributing to the growth of the ethyl alcohol market. It is used as an intoxicating ingredient in manufacturing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as vodka and gin. Additionally, ethyl alcohol is also used as a natural product in non-alcoholic beverages as an adjunct. The food processing industry is growing significantly due to increased demand for ready-to-eat, frozen, and packaged foods. As a result, the demand from the food processing industry has also increased due to the growing population through new births and migrations, which further increases the industry’s production and demand for ethanol. The demand for ethanol in the food processing industry will lead to the expansion of the global market for ethyl alcohol. For instance, in November 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based agency of the US Federal Statistical System, in the first eight months of 2024, U.S. fuel ethanol exports averaged 121,000 barrels per day, marking the highest export levels for this period in any year, consistently exceeding 100,000 barrels per day each month. Therefore, rising demand for ethanol in the food processing industry is driving the demand for ethyl alcohol market.

What are the most influential trends expected to drive the ethyl alcohol market forward?
Companies are increasingly producing ethanol from corn and sugar in the ethyl alcohol market. Ethanol is produced from corn by the dry milling process. In this process, corn kernels are ground into flour or mash, which is then mixed with water. It is purified through distillation and dehydration to create ethanol. The rising demand for liquid fuels in the transportation industry, the global rising demand for oil, and the negative consequences of global warming have contributed to the increased use of corn-based sugar to produce ethanol, thereby reducing global warming gases. It can be used in many of today’s passenger cars and trucks as a substitute for burning gasoline. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) predicts that during the 2020–21 crop season, 5.2 billion hectares of corn will go to ethanol generation, an increase of 250 million. Additionally, the U.S. and Brazil produce 85% of the global ethanol from corn. The production of ethanol from corn helps to reduce greenhouse gases by 18%, and the production of ethanol from sugar helps to reduce greenhouse gases by 90%. Production of ethanol from corn and sugar offers several advantages, such as reducing greenhouse gases and decreasing dependency on foreign oil.
