Peracetic Acid Market

Market Overview:

The global peracetic acid market size reached US$ 977.2 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,813.3 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% during 2024-2032. The widespread adoption of peracetic acid in the agricultural sector, the rising adoption of peracetic acid for efficient water treatment solutions, and the growing utilization of peracetic acid in healthcare settings represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Peracetic acid is a powerful oxidizing agent that is commonly used as a disinfectant, sterilant, and sanitizer in various fields, such as food processing, healthcare, and water treatment. It is a clear, colorless, and highly reactive liquid with a pungent odor, which is similar to the smell of acetic acid. It is a peroxide family member, which means it contains an oxygen-oxygen single bond. It is produced by the reaction of acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide, which generates peracetic acid in situ. Additionally, it is highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and spores. It has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and disrupts microorganisms' cellular membranes, leading to their death. It is also known to be effective in removing biofilms, which are a common cause of contamination in various industries. It is considered to be an environmentally friendly disinfectant as it rapidly breaks down into harmless byproducts, such as water, oxygen, and acetic acid. It does not leave any harmful residues, making it ideal for use in the food industry, where residues of disinfectants could affect the quality and safety of food products.

Peracetic Acid Market Trends:

Significant growth in the agriculture industry majorly drives the global market. This can be supported by the widespread adoption of peracetic acid in the agricultural sector due to its ability to prevent and manage bacterial and fungal growth in soil and crops. Additionally, the rising adoption of peracetic acid for efficient water treatment solutions, as well as the growing global demand for safe drinking water is significantly supporting the market. Along with this, the growing utilization of peracetic acid in healthcare settings for surface disinfection, equipment sterilization, and as a high-level disinfectant for medical instruments is significantly supporting the demand. This is due to the increasing prevalence of hospital acquired infections (HAIs) and the need for effective disinfection and sterilization practices. In addition, the growing demand for high-quality paper products and the rising need for eco-friendly production practices are driving the use of peracetic acid in the pulp and paper industry, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the increasing use of peracetic acid in organic and natural products to ensure the absence of harmful chemicals and toxins, thereby meeting the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly products, is also driving the market. Furthermore, the integration of advanced reactors and optimized production processes enhance the production capacity of peracetic acid, is creating a positive market outlook. Some of the other factors driving the market include rapid industrialization and continual technological advancements.
