Global Syngas and Derivatives Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Feedstock (Coal, Natural Gas, Biomass Petroleum By-Product and Other), By Technology (Steam Reforming, Autothermal Reforming, Biomass Gasification, Partial Oxidation, and Gasification) and By Gasifier (Fixed Or Moving Bed Gasifier, Entrained Flow Gasifier, Fluidized Bed Gasifier, and Others) Forecast Period (2021-2027)
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2025601 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

The global syngas and derivatives market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. The demand for syngas and derivatives is increasing due to their application in liquid fuels, gaseous fuel, chemical and power generation sectors. The use of syngas contributes a lot of ease to ecological protection due to its contribution to reducing waste pollution in landfills, urban and rural areas. Syngas is mostly used for electricity generation and the production of chemicals.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Syngas and Derivatives Market

COVID-19 pandemic created a light impact on end-users in the global syngas and derivatives market. The maximum number of syngas and their derivatives production plants are impacted due to disruption in the supply chain of the syngas and derivatives due to the low demand for fuel. Furthermore, the demand for plastic has been increased particularly in the healthcare sector and personal protection equipment which has increased the demand for syngas and derivatives market in the plastic sector. 

Segmental Outlook 

The global syngas and derivatives market is segmented based on feedstock, technology, and gasifier. Based on the feedstock, the market is segmented into coal, natural gas, biomass, petroleum by-product and other. Based on the technology, the market is sub-segmented into steam reforming, autothermal reforming, biomass gasification, partial oxidation, and gasification. Among this, biomass gasification is the most utilized technology for the production of syngas and derivatives. With this technology, the biomass and coal can be converted into syngas, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. Based on the gasifier, the market is sub-segmented into the fixed or moving bed gasifier, entrained flow gasifier, fluidized bed gasifier, and others. 

Global Syngas and Derivatives Market Share by Feedstock, 2020 (%)

Global Syngas and Derivatives Market Share by Feedstock

The Coal Segment Holds the Major Share in the Global Syngas and Derivatives Market

Coal was the largest feedstock segment in manufacturing syngas & derivatives and is estimated to lead the market during the forecast period. The high accessibility of coal for producing energy and the excellent feedstock with various syngas production technologies drives the growth of the coal segment in the syngas & derivatives market. Furthermore, coal forms an ample energy resource in various regions such as India, China, Japan, and others, harnessing its energy requires a greener and cleaner approach. This is expected to instigate research for developing efficient and eco-friendly coal technologies. 

Integration of UCG and GTL technologies is anticipated to add assistance to the processes such as carbon capture and sequestration, thereby minimizing production costs. Conversion of underground coal gasification (UCG) for growing FT liquid fuels offers sufficient opportunities for developing energy blends as a substitute for fuels. It also offers potential for greenhouse gas emissions’ sequestration in upstream activities, thereby providing remarkable life cycle reductions.

Regional Outlooks

The global syngas and derivatives market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among this China and India are majorly engaged in the production of coal-based syngas & derivatives.

Global Syngas and Derivatives Market Growth, by Region 2021-2027

Global Syngas and Derivatives Market Growth, by Region

The Asia-Pacific Region Holds the Major Share in the Global Syngas and Derivatives Market

The syngas & derivatives market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest rate. The development can be imputed to the high demand for syngas & derivatives in countries such as China, India, and Japan in utilization such as chemicals, fuel, and electricity.  The region being the largest user in the chemical industry offers subsequent growth opportunities for chemical applications, fertilizers, and petrochemicals. In addition, the region is rapidly growing in fuel and electricity applications, with increasing demand for syngas & derivatives in liquid fuel, gaseous fuel, and hydrogen-based electricity. According to the NBS, China remains the world’s largest consumer and producer of coal. 

Chinese mines produced 357 million tonnes of coal in November 2021 up from 334 million tonnes in September. Moreover, according to National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), China's daily coal production reached 11.93 million tons, its highest level in recent years. In November 2021, the average daily transmits of coal production reached 11.66 million tons, an increase of more than 1.2 million tons than that of the end of September 2021. 

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global syngas and derivatives market include Air Liquide, Air Products, Inc., BASF SE, Dow Chemical, General Electric Co., Haldor Topsoe A/S, and Linde plc. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in March 2020, Nacero Inc. signed the agreement with Haldor Topsoe in Casa Grande, Arizona for basic engineering and license for a planned natural-gas-to gasoline service with a capacity of 35,000 barrels per day of finished gasoline.
