Bio-Ethanol Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Bioethanol in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
For the First Half of 2022
Asia
The price trends of Bioethanol remained inflated in the Asian market throughout the first quarter due to the soaring costs of feedstock corn, sugarcane, and wheat. The Russian-Ukrainian war had a profound impact on food prices, making the world more vulnerable to food insecurity. The prices of feedstock corn averaged 365.23 USD/MT towards the end of the first quarter. The high feedstock prices, along with the robust demand from downstream pharmaceuticals, cosmetic and biofuel industries, stretched the prices of Bioethanol further, averaging 1175 USD/MT.
During the start of the second quarter, the prices declined momentarily owing to the zero-tolerance covid restrictions placed by the Chinese government. The market sentiment weakened with the reduced production activities and increased freight charges. However, despite the relaxed prices of feedstocks, bioethanol prices remained anchored in the Chinese domestic market, averaging 1140 USD/MT Ex-Shanghai, China.
Europe
Bioethanol prices exhibited an upward trajectory throughout the year's first half. The prices of corn reached an all-time high owing to the Russian invasion and the adverse weather conditions. The economic pressure and supply shortages amid the increasing demand from end-user industries triggered the prices of Bioethanol to inflate. The lack of valuable imports from the USA and Brazil ( bad corn harvest due to droughts and La Nina ) tightened the already constricted supply chain. The prices of Bio-Ethanol went from 1055 USD/MT (first quarter) to 1075 USD/MT FOB Hamburg towards the end of the second quarter.
North America
The US domestic market exhibited the same price trends as the global outlook. The high feedstock corn prices due to drought and surging transportation charges amid labour shortages caused the prices of Bioethanol to soar throughout the first half of the said year. The corn prices averaged 248.82 USD/MT causing the bioethanol prices to reach 775-870 USD/MT FOB Texas during the first quarter. Though the corn prices relaxed slightly in the second quarter averaging 215.35 USD/MT, Bio-Ethanol prices remained anchored due to the booming market sentiment.

About
Bio-Ethanol is an alcohol created through microbial fermentation, primarily from carbohydrates found in plants that contain sugar or starch, such as corn, sugarcane, or sweet sorghum. The most common application of ethanol is in the manufacturing of fuel. The addition of bioethanol to regular gasoline reduces greenhouse gas emissions during burning.
