Kenya Ethanol Market Synopsis

Kenya ethanol market was growing rapidly prior to the COVID-19 outbreak as the country has been witnessing sharp growth in the overall consumption due to urbanization, women employment and industrial growth, hence, the major share of ethanol market was possessed by the food and beverage industry of the country which is one of the major contributor to the Kenyan economy. The year 2020 witnessed disruption in the trend coupled by demand and supply shocks to the ethanol market, resulting in disinfectants gaining the largest share in the demand as the virus was controlled by using alcohol concentrated sanitizers and disinfectants, thereby, ethanol market saw the highest growth in revenue as the demand was coming from all the sectors of the economy including government, commercial, industrial as well as residential applications. However, the interim trend is gradually fading away and disinfectants share would return to the pre-covid levels with a minimal positive change as the consumption pattern returns to normal.
According to 6Wresearch, Kenya Ethanol Market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 15.0% in terms of revenues during 2022-2028. The market would grow rapidly in coming years as the country’s economic structure is in the transition phase and the country is witnessing expansion in the cosmetics and personal care industry, thereby, Kenya would witness exponential growth in the denatured ethanol. Also, the pharma industry of the country would also spur demand for denatured alcohols in industrial solvents, lacquers, anti-infective drugs owing to rising capacity additions in the country such as the Bangladesh’s Square Pharmaceuticals is investing $74 million in Nairobi for setting up of new manufacturing plant along with growing private investment would cause the market to grow rapidly in coming years.
Furthermore, the growing requirements of the power and fuel to support the emerging economy would further strengthen ethanol position in the fuels and fuel additive segments, as Kenya has planned to substitute primary fuels such as wood, coal, LPG and Kerosene with ethanol fuel would increase the revenues in the fuels and fuel additives application of ethanol in the country. Hence, the Kenya Ethanol Cooking fuel masterplan, 2020 for the establishment of the ECF industry in Kenya would serve as a gamechanger for the overall revenue generation potential in the country.
