Peracetic Acid Market by Function (Disinfectant, Sanitizer, Sterilant), Grade (5% Grade, 5-15% Grade, >15% Grade), End User - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Peracetic Acid Market size was estimated at USD 1.32 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 1.38 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 4.70% to reach USD 1.82 billion by 2030.

Global Peracetic Acid Market

Peracetic acid is a colorless organic compound liquid formulated using hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid in equilibrium, characterized by a highly noticeable, strong, acrid odor that is readily miscible with water. Its resultant potent oxidizing properties make it a potent micro biocide and disinfecting agent used across food and beverage industries for equipment sanitization and direct food contact surface disinfection along with other applications, including water treatment, pulp & paper bleaching, and use in the agricultural sector due to its fungicidal and bactericidal properties. Growing health and hygiene awareness, notably within the food and healthcare sectors, has increased the application of effective sterilization tools such as peracetic acid. Moreover, stringent government regulations on ensuring public health safety further propel the usage of such disinfectants. However, the hazardous implications of the acid's extensive use affecting human health and the environment, along with strict regulations controlling the use and disposal of such substances, slow the market growth. Continuous efforts in research and development aimed at advancements in production technologies, coupled with greater accessibility to raw materials, is expected to create an opportunistic landscape for the market.

Regional Insights

The Americas region showcases the most progressive landscapes for peracetic acid owing to the strong focus on sanitization and food safety measures in the food & beverage industry. Moreover, the swift growth in wastewater treatment plants across North America has spiked the demand for peracetic acid due to its disinfectant properties. Further, numerous patent applications for optimizing the synthesis process of peracetic acid and its safe handling, along with increasing R&D funding in sanitation application of peracetic acid, signal promising growth potential in the region. In the EU region, many major economies reflect high consumption rates of peracetic acid due to stringent directives from the European Commission on health and sanitation. Further, increasing use of this compound in dairy, medical sector, and agriculture owing to its biocidal properties and for plant protection applications has established the growth prospect in the region. The MEA region is showing exponential growth due to the expanding food & beverage and healthcare sectors. Rapid urbanization and developing infrastructure have catalyzed the growth of various industries, thereby positively impacting the demand for peracetic acid. The APAC region depicts an opportunistic landscape in the face of burgeoning industries such as textiles, pulp & paper, and water treatment. With the surge in urbanization, the wastewater treatment sector in the APAC region is rapidly expanding. As peracetic acid is used extensively for water disinfection in wastewater treatment, this growth translates into increased demand for the compound. Further, regulatory norms by governmental bodies in the region encourage the use of non-toxic, eco-friendly disinfectants, which have further boosted the peracetic acid market.
