Syngas Market Segments Analysis

Global Syngas Market is segmented by Technology, Feedstock, Gasifier, Application and Region. Based on Technology, the market is segmented into Steam Reforming, Partial Oxidation, Autothermal Reforming, Biomass Gasification, Others.  Based on Feedstock, the market is segmented into Petroleum Byproducts, Coal, Natural Gas, Biomass/ Waste, Others.  Based on Gasifier, the market is segmented into Fixed Bed, Entrained Flow, Fluidized Bed, Others.  Based on Application, the market is segmented into Chemicals (Methanol, Ammonia, FT Synthesis Products), Fuels (Liquid, Gases), Power Generation. Based on Region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & and Africa.

Analysis by Feedstock

Natural gas is forecasted to account for a substantial syngas market share going forward. Easy availability and high affordability of natural gas are expected to be key factors allowing it to hold sway over other types of feedstocks. Steam methane reforming (SMR) is most commonly used to make syngas from natural gas. Syngas made from natural gas is quite easy to produce and hence more affordable as compared to syngas made from other feedstocks. Rising emphasis on natural gas utilization and increasing oil & gas exploration activity are estimated to help this segment maintain its high revenue share.

Meanwhile, the demand for syngas produced from biomass/waste feedstock is estimated to increase at a notable CAGR across the forecast period and beyond. Growing emphasis on waste reduction and advancements in biomass processing technologies are projected to create new opportunities for syngas companies in the long run. Agricultural residues, forestry waste, and dedicated energy crops promise the widespread availability of this feedstock and help generate new business scope as well. Low pollution and contribution to waste reduction are added benefits of using biomass as a feedstock for syngas production in the long run.

Analysis by Application

Chemical applications of syngas are projected to hold sway over other segments in the future. Growing chemical manufacturing activity around the world, rising emphasis on sustainability, and high versatility are some key factors allowing this segment to dominate the global syngas industry. Use of syngas as a raw material to produce plastics, formaldehyde, and ammonia is also expected to create new opportunities for syngas companies focusing on this segment over the coming years. The ability of syngas to produce chemicals with a higher H:C ratio than that of syngas itself is also expected to promote its adoption in chemical applications going forward.

On the other hand, the demand for syngas in power generation applications is projected to rise at a robust pace in the future. Rapidly surging demand for renewable energy storage and clean energy around the world to satisfy the growing global energy demand is estimated to offer lucrative opportunities for syngas providers in the long run. Syngas can be used to convert waste into energy and finds application in multiple waste-to-energy establishments. Moreover, the potential of creating hydrogen through syngas is also expected to generate new business scope for syngas companies focusing on this application segment in the long run.
