Other factors such as a significant rise in industries related to food, cosmetics, petroleum, chemicals, and biotechnology industries, etc., increased renewable sources, energy resources, increased production of raw materials for the preparation of alcohol such as sugarcane waste, wheat, malt, corn, potatoes, and other fruit waste. Increased demand for fermentation procedures and a large amount of alcohol production drives the market growth. Developing countries encourage new industries such as petroleum, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, raw materials, chemicals, etc. It also causes the market growth. The government’s initiatives and spending of its expenditure on companies create market value for the industrial alcohol market. The presence of key market players and investors in this market contributes to growth and value.
Industrial alcohol is also used in other industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnologies, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, food, personal care, chemical industries, etc. Hence the increased demand for industrial alcohol in various industries drives market growth for this market, such as a significant rise in sectors related to food, cosmetics, petroleum, chemicals, and biotechnology industries, etc., increased renewable sources, energy resources, increased production of raw materials for the preparation of alcohol such as sugarcane waste, wheat, malt, corn, potatoes, and other fruit waste. The rise in the adoption of fermentation technology and other technologies is also expected to increase market size.
MARKET RESTRAINTS
Significant issues for this market are associated with prices and hike for industrial alcohol. It is due to the lack of availability of raw materials on time. The majority of small-hold shopkeepers, retailers are not willing to stock up industrial alcohol and its products due to spillage, spoilage, and other issues. Unawareness and high literacy rate amongst farmers worldwide for industrial alcohol and its uses are hindering the market growth. The raw materials for alcohol production are potatoes, wheat, sugarcane, and other fruits and their waste. Due to harsh climatic conditions, the crop production may get affected, and the crude extracts from the plant are not available at the correct time.
