The invention relates to a method for producing arene by utilizing methanol, and mainly solves the problems of the existing method that a catalyst is rapid in carbon deposition and low in stability during a methanol producing process. The method comprises the following steps: based on methanol as a raw material, carrying out a contact reaction between methanol and the catalyst on a continuous fixing bed at the reaction temperature of 370 to 480 DEG C and the reaction weight space velocity of 0.5 to 4.0 h<-1>, thereby producing arene, wherein the catalyst comprises the following components according to parts by weight: a) 20 to 75 parts of binding agent; b) 20 to 75 parts of ZSM-5 molecular sieve; and c) 0.5 to 10 parts of zinc or oxides thereof; and the problems are solved well by adopting the technical scheme that the ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 in the ZSM-5 molecular sieve is 20 to 200. Therefore, the method provided by the invention can be applied to the industrial production of arene by utilizing methanol.
