The production of methanol in Germany showed no activity from 2013 to 2015. However, from 2016 onwards, production kicked off, reaching 1.04 billion kilograms and steadily increasing until 2020, where it peaked at over 1.5 billion kilograms. The subsequent years revealed a decline, particularly in 2021 and 2022, which saw decreases of 10.79% and 19.83% respectively. By 2023, production slightly rebounded with a 0.13% increase, standing at approximately 1.09 billion kilograms.
Future trends indicate a period of stabilization with minimal growth forecasted. The average annual growth rate over the next five years is expected to be just 0.01%, maintaining a relatively steady output around 1.09 billion kilograms. Key trends to watch for include potential technological advancements in methanol production, shifts in regulatory environments, and changes in demand from industries utilizing methanol.
