The alcohols and platform chemicals segment held 28% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 23% CAGR by 2034. This outlook is linked to expanding production of methanol and ethanol derived from captured CO2 and renewable hydrogen. Commercial facilities in multiple regions are already producing renewable methanol that serves as a key feedstock for chemical and fuel markets.
The catalytic hydrogenation segment accounted for 32% share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% through 2034. Its commercial potential is supported by mature catalyst systems, well-defined process designs, and proven industrial implementation. Next-generation methanol synthesis catalysts featuring Cu, ZnO, and Al2O3 compositions are reaching selectivity levels above 99% while achieving yields like conventional processes. Catalyst systems based on cobalt and iron enable the conversion of CO2-derived syngas into synthetic hydrocarbons, with output tailored by adjusting operating conditions.
The construction segment held 20% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25%. Demand growth is driven by expanding adoption of CO2-enhanced concrete materials and low-carbon cement. Increasing investments in infrastructure across major regions are incorporating stricter specifications for lower-emission building inputs, which is strengthening market momentum.
