Despite the growth prospects, the ethanol market faces certain restraints that could hinder its growth. A significant limitation is the fluctuating prices of raw materials used in ethanol production, such as corn and sugarcane. This can impact the profitability of ethanol producers and make it difficult to maintain a stable supply. Another major restraint is the competition from other biofuels, such as biodiesel, which can limit the market share of ethanol in the renewable energy sector.
