The methanol market size volume in France witnessed significant fluctuations from 2012 to 2022. Starting at 612.38 million kilograms in 2012, the volume experienced both increases and decreases with notable peaks in 2014 and 2018. The market size showed a negative trend in recent years, with a sharp decline between 2019 and 2020. Specifically, the year-on-year change was -7.27% in 2019 and -6.86% in 2020, further reflecting the downturn.

The period from 2020 to 2022 also highlights a struggling market with limited positive growth. The slight year-on-year increases in 2021 and 2022 did little to offset the broad downward trajectory experienced over the analyzed timeframe.
