Oxygen Scavengers Market

Market Overview:

The global oxygen scavengers market size reached USD 2.45 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.33 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.48% during 2025-2033. The significant growth in the F&B industry, widespread product application in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, and the introduction of bio-based oxygen scavengers represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Oxygen scavengers refer to substances that can remove or reduce the oxygen level in a particular environment. They are manufactured using various metallic and non-metallic raw materials, such as iron, zinc, copper, sodium sulfite, ascorbic acid, activated carbon, hydrazine, and polymers. They are widely used in food preservation, water treatment, pharmaceutical packaging, pipelines, storage tanks, electronic components, and medical equipment. Oxygen scavengers aid in increasing product shelf-life, preventing spoilage, improving quality, maintaining efficacy, and preserving the tastes, flavors, and aroma of edible goods. They also exhibit corrosion-inhibiting properties that extend equipment lifespan, prevent failure, improve reliability, and minimize the risks of leakage, explosions, and other accidents. As a result, oxygen scavengers find extensive applications across the food and beverage (F&B), oil and gas, pharmaceutical, electronics, power generation, textile, and chemical industries.

Oxygen Scavengers Market Trends:

The rising product utilization in the F&B industry is one of the primary factors driving the market growth. Oxygen scavengers are widely used in the packaging of fresh fruits, meat, poultry, snacks, sauces, condiments, bakery products, beer, wines, and other beverages, to extend shelf life, minimize the oxidation of oils and fats, reduce wastage, preserve taste, and prevent spoilage, discoloration, and rancidity. In addition to this, the growing demand for convenience food, such as ready-to-eat (RTE) meals and on-the-go (OTG) food products due to changing consumer lifestyles and hectic schedules, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the widespread product application in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries to preserve the quality and potency of drugs, tablets, capsules, vaccines, biological samples, diagnostic kits, and medical devices is providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of bio-based oxygen scavengers that are cost-effective, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and manufactured using various natural and biodegradable materials, such as chitosan, cellulose, and lignin, is positively influencing the market growth. Apart from this, the integration of nanotechnology to develop advanced oxygen scavengers that offer improved efficiency, excellent compatibility, and targeted delivery capabilities is creating a positive outlook for market growth. Moreover, the increasing product adoption in the oil and gas industry to prevent corrosion in pipelines, storage tanks, and refining equipment is facilitating the market growth. Other factors, including the significant growth in the packaging industry, increasing investment in the research and development (R&D) of advanced products, and the rising product adoption in water treatment processes, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
