Europe methanol demand recovery to be offset by oversupply

The European methanol market enters the second half of 2020 in a subdued mode as global oversupply remains a key concern, likely to offset a recovery in demand.

While there are signs of improved demand for the third quarter, expectations for a full market rebound are limited for the remainder of 2020.

Demand for key downstream products such as formaldehyde is expected to remain low, with the furniture industry likely to show limited recovery in sales and manufacturing due to reduced consumption because of the pandemic.

Firmer crude oil prices are expected to provide some support to methanol values, as more than half of global methanol goes to oil-related end use consumption.

In the European methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) and biodiesel markets demand has firmed, but still has further to go on the road to recovery.
