Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, spirits, or simply alcohol) is an organic chemical compound.

Industrial Ethanol is a type of ethanol used in industrial applications, and also implies ethanol produced for purposes other than consumption in beverage form.

Industrial ethanol has a wide variety of uses, including as an ingredient in food preservatives, fragrances and cosmetics, as well as in pharmaceutical ethanol when administering shots to patients. Industrial ethanol is also known as one of the ingredients used to make vinegar. Globally, fuel ethanol accounts for 73% of production, with beverage ethanol at 17% and industrial ethanol at 10%.

Industrial ethanol can further be separated into two types-fermented and synthetic. The difference between these two types is found in their manufacturing method and source ingredients. The primary ingredient for fermented ethanol is agricultural crops, such as sugarcane or corn, and alcohol fermentation is carried out courtesy of an organism called yeast, with the ensuing chemical process yielding fermented ethanol. This same naturally occurring yeast is also used when making ethanol for beverage use.

Pharmaceutical ethanol is used in the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing of products such as anesthetics, antiseptics, drugs, liniments, lotions, and also for cosmetics such as fragrances, deodorants and shampoos.

The global pharmaceutical market is 1475 billion USD in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5% during the next six years. The pharmaceutical market includes chemical drugs and biological drugs. For biologics is expected to 381 billion USD in 2022. In comparison, the chemical drug market is estimated to increase from 1005 billion in 2018 to 1094 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The pharmaceutical market factors such as increasing demand for healthcare, technological advancements, and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increase in funding from private & government organizations for development of pharmaceutical manufacturing segments and rise in R&D activities for drugs. However, the industry also faces challenges such as stringent regulations, high costs of research and development, and patent expirations. Companies need to continuously innovate and adapt to these challenges to stay competitive in the market and ensure their products reach patients in need. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of vaccine development and supply chain management, further emphasizing the need for pharmaceutical companies to be agile and responsive to emerging public health needs.
