The growing appetite for ethanol within the food processing sector is a significant driver of the ethyl alcohol market's expansion. Ethyl alcohol serves as a crucial component in the production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including popular choices like vodka and gin. Furthermore, it finds application as a natural additive in non-alcoholic beverages. The food processing industry is experiencing substantial growth, primarily fueled by the increasing consumer demand for ready-to-eat, frozen, and packaged foods. This heightened demand is a result of population growth through both natural births and migrations, consequently leading to increased production and, in turn, a surge in the requirement for ethanol within the industry. Notably, this growing appetite for ethanol in the food processing sector is expected to drive the global ethyl alcohol market's expansion. As an example, the Indian ethanol market is projected to reach $7.38 billion by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.50%, largely due to its applications in the food and beverages sector. The increasing demand for ethanol in food processing is poised to be a pivotal factor propelling the ethyl alcohol market during the forecasted period.

The ethyl alcohol market is poised for substantial growth, primarily driven by the increasing demand for personal care products. Personal care products encompass a wide array of items used for personal hygiene, cleaning, and grooming, including shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, creams, cosmetics, and various household products. Ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, serves as a versatile ingredient in these products, offering several advantageous properties that enhance their effectiveness and overall performance. For instance, a notable example from February 2023, L'Oreal S.A., a prominent personal care company based in France, reported significant growth in consumer product sales, with an increase from 11.8% to 14.6%, while active cosmetics sales rose from 28.0% to 30.6% between the third and fourth quarters of 2022. Furthermore, data from January 2021, as shared by Automat.ai, a Canadian business service and software company, revealed that skincare product sales in the United States grew by 13% in 2020, with a 1% increase in makeup item sales. Online beauty retailers experienced a remarkable 24% growth, with skincare products leading the way. This surge in demand for personal care products has become a significant driving force behind the ethyl alcohol market's growth. Ethyl alcohol's multifaceted utility in the personal care industry underscores its pivotal role in enhancing the performance and appeal of these products.

The growth of the ethyl alcohol market is expected to face limitations due to the increasing awareness of the adverse effects associated with alcohol consumption. A study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that alcohol consumption is linked to more than 200 diseases and injury conditions, posing significant health risks, including mental and behavioral disorders, liver cirrhosis, cardiovascular diseases, and road accidents. As global awareness about the detrimental impacts of alcohol consumption on health continues to rise, there is a growing demand for information regarding alcohol consumption and its associated risks, along with the implementation of related policies. For example, data from January 2023, sourced from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a U.S.-based government agency, indicates that alcohol use accounted for 47.4% of the 100,530 liver disease-related deaths among adults aged 12 and older in 2021. These findings are expected to have an adverse impact on the ethyl alcohol market as concerns about the health consequences of alcohol consumption continue to grow.

Companies are increasingly focusing on ethanol production derived from corn and sugar within the ethyl alcohol market. Ethanol is obtained from corn through the dry milling process, where corn kernels are ground into a flour-like consistency and mixed with water. Subsequent purification is achieved through distillation and dehydration to yield ethanol. This heightened interest in corn-based and sugar-based ethanol production is driven by various factors. The escalating demand for liquid fuels in the transportation sector, the global increase in the need for oil, and the mounting concerns regarding the environmental impact of global warming have all played pivotal roles in driving the utilization of corn-based sugar for ethanol production. This shift contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, ethanol derived from corn and sugar can serve as a viable alternative to gasoline in many contemporary passenger cars and trucks. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasts a significant increase in corn allocation for ethanol production, with 5.2 billion hectares of corn earmarked for this purpose during the 2020-21 crop season, reflecting a notable increase of 250 million hectares. Notably, the United States and Brazil jointly account for 85% of the global ethanol production from corn. The production of ethanol from corn results in an 18% reduction in greenhouse gases, while ethanol from sugar brings about an impressive 90% reduction. This dual approach to ethanol production offers numerous advantages, including mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and reducing reliance on foreign oil sources.
