Grain Alcohol Market Definition:

Grain alcohol is a neutral spirit created from fermented grains. The refined version of ethyl alcohol, commonly known as ethanol, neutral grain spirit, or rectified spirit, is known as ethanol. Corn, rye, wheat, grapes, grains, sugarcane, tubers, and beets can all be used as raw material in the grain alcohol market, which is a neutral spirit. Everclear, Alcohol-95, and Golden Grain are among the brand names available. In countries like Mexico and Canada, it's made from a fermented blend of corn, sugar, yeast, and water.

 

Other grains, such as wheat and rye, can be used instead of corn. It is generated by fermenting carbohydrates in the grain with yeast. The ethanol is then distilled several times to make the product. This also refers to pure, high-proof alcohol. It's a clear liquid with no added flavours or odours. Distillation allows this pure alcohol to be made from fermented grains.

Grain Alcohol Market Dynamics:

Craft Beer's Popularity and Production are growing across the globe:

 

The increase in the number of breweries in recent years has been a major driver of grain alcohol market growth. Beer consumption has risen at an exponential rate in recent years. Major market participants and local producers are sourcing grain alcohol from barley to meet the needs of beer. Furthermore, the rising popularity of craft beer and locally produced beer among young people is expected to boost global demand for alcoholic beverages.

 

Changing lifestyles, growing urbanisation, rising alcoholic beverage consumption rates, high disposable incomes, and the popularity of beer among millennials are a few other major reasons driving the grain alcohol market. Over the next five years, the growing popularity of craft beer and local beer is projected to raise demand for domestic malt which is witnessing the growth of the market.

 

Alcohol consumption's negative effects are becoming more widely known:

 

Grain alcohol is regarded as particularly harmful due to its high alcohol level. Intoxication decreased cognitive and motor abilities and lowered inhibitions can all occur quickly if you consume more than a little amount. Various countries ministries of health, including Australia, Brazil, the United States, and India, have launched measures to combat the detrimental consequences of alcohol consumption. Since the alcohol marketplace is so valued delicate, even a small price upsurge by the government or other adaptable establishments can have a substantial influence on ingesting levels. These major factor is restraining the grain alcohol market growth.

 

Emerging markets include South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa which is creating a huge opportunity for the market:

 

Because of changing lifestyles and rising middle-class population and disposable budgets, grain alcohol applications have developed dramatically in the emerging markets of South America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. These underserved markets have a vast supply of low-cost labour, cutting-edge technology, and relatively lenient restrictions regarding the use of food-grade alcohol. In Africa, Asia, and Latin America, sugarcane, corn, grains, and other fruits and vegetables are plentiful natural sources as raw material in the grain alcohol market.

 

Price fluctuations in the alcohol market are a big stumbling block for the industry:

 

Corn prices in the United States averaged $2.23 per stack for 20 years beginning with the 1985/86 marketing year, ranging from $1.50 to $3.24, with a very minor negative trend per load. Only once during this period did annual weighted average cash corn prices in the United States exceed $2.71 per bushel. The price of food-grade alcohol is determined by fluctuations in the supply of raw materials and the quality of the product. One of the key problems for the food-grade alcohols market has been the rise in raw material prices. Ingredient prices have been fluctuating in recent years, and this tendency is projected to continue in the next years which give a huge challenge for the grain alcohol market.

 

Grain Alcohol Market Segment Analysis:

By Application, the market is segmented as Beverages, Foods, Pharmaceuticals & Health Care and Others. Beverages Segment dominated the grain alcohol market with a 47% share in 2023. Beer, wine, spirits, and other beverages such as ready-to-drink (RTD), premixes, cider, and perry are included in the beverages section. Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world, as well as the third most popular drink overall, behind water and tea. Rising disposable income, advances in beer quality, marketing and advertising activities, and a continually growing beer-consuming population base are all driving global beer consumption. Wine is an alcoholic beverage created from grapes or other fruits that have been fermented.

 

However, The Pharmaceuticals & Health Care segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% through the forecast period. Ethanol is utilised as a preservative in many liquid formulations in the pharmaceutical sector. Ethanol is used as a solvent in medicines made from plant alkaloids. The majority of liquid formulations are prescribed for youngsters due to their ease of use which is driving the growth of the grain alcohol market.

 

Grain Alcohol Market

 

By Type, the market is segmented as Ethanol and Polyols. The Polyols segment dominated the market with a 76% share in 2023. Sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, mannitol, and erythritol are among the polyols investigated in this study. Sorbitol is low-calorie sugar alcohol classified as a polyol. It's naturally found in foods like apricots and prunes. It's used to keep items wet, as a bulk sweetener, and as a component in sugar-free candies, chewing gums, and medications. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol that is used to replace table sugar since it does not promote tooth decay, has fewer calories, and has a lower impact on blood glucose levels. Polyols numerous applications in the food and beverage industry are expected to boost this segment's growth in the grain alcohol market.

 

Grain Alcohol Market Regional Insights:

The European region dominated the market with a 42.2% share in 2023. Despite very high per capita consumption levels, the European grain alcohol market is the world's largest, and market growth has remained attractive and stable. The attendance of the big nourishment and beverage industry delivers the European grain alcohol market with a noteworthy consumer base and development prospects. The development of Eastern and Southeastern European countries like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine is expected to fuel the industry in this region. One of the main markets for sugar polyols is Europe. Sugar polyols, which are analogous to sugar but have an inferior calorie value, are desired by the food sector because of the increased demand for low-calorie foods.

 

However, The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% through the forecast period. The tremendous economic development in this region is credited with driving the need for grain alcohol. As a result, there is a higher demand for more and better beverage applications, particularly in China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and South Korea. With a population of more than 4 billion people, busy lifestyles, and rising disposable money, per capita alcohol consumption in this region is on the rise. As a result of increased urbanisation, the alcoholic beverage market in this region is undergoing a considerable transition.
