세계의 과산화수소 시장 보고서 : 용도, 최종 용도, 지역별(2025-2033년)

The global hydrogen peroxide market size reached USD 3.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.15% during 2025-2033. The growing occurrence of vector-borne diseases like Zika virus, dengue, and malaria, rising demand for food and beverage processing equipment, and launch of new smartphones are positively influencing the market.

Rising Application in Various Medical Purposes Propelling Market Growth

The growing demand for hydrogen peroxide as a mild antiseptic used to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns is positively influencing the market. It may also be used as a mouth rinse to help remove mucus or to relieve minor mouth irritation due to canker or cold sores and gingivitis. This product works by releasing oxygen when it is applied to the affected area and causes foaming, which helps remove dead skin and clean the area. It also aids in healing wounds due to its volatile nature, which causes rapid oxidation. Apart from this, hydrogen peroxide is used in medical applications, such as treating acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), cancer, influenza, and emphysema.

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented with large number of players operating in the industry. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the hydrogen peroxide industry due to rising demand from end use industry and low product differentiation. However, high capital investment and strict regulatory framework prevent new players to enter the business.

What is Hydrogen Peroxide?

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a pale blue chemical compound with clear liquid, which is more viscous as compared to water. It is unstable in nature, due to which it is usually stored in a weak acidic solution with a stabilizer. It has strong oxidizing properties, thereby making it a powerful bleaching agent, which is largely used for bleaching paper. H2O2 in the form of carbamide peroxide also has applications for tooth whitening in professionally and self-administered products. In addition, it plays important roles in host defense and oxidative biosynthetic reactions in the human body. As it is used as a disinfectant and as an oxidizer, H2O2 finds applications in the paper and pulp, chemical, pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetics, electronics, and agriculture industries across the globe.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the hydrogen peroxide industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. Owing to the global lockdowns and in compliance with directives from the government, many chemical production plants have slowed down their manufacturing operations. The industry was vulnerable, given that the bulk of its production workforce was in on-site jobs that could not be done remotely. Moreover, few running plants were burdened with supply disruptions from the raw materials industry, labor shortages, and low stocks. Besides this, restrictions on shipping and industrial production have affected the supply chain. In addition, companies have slowed down production due to logistics issues, staffing shortages, lack of drivers, and roadblocks. These factors have slowed down the growth of the hydrogen peroxide industry during the pandemic.

Hydrogen Peroxide Market Trends:

At present, there is a rise in the demand for H2O2 in bleach products for removing chlorine compounds through bleaching processes. This, along with the increasing utilization of H2O2 as an oxidizing agent for several water treatment applications, represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, there is an increase in the demand for H2O2 as environment-friendly bleaching agents in the pulp and paper industry across the globe. This, coupled with the rising awareness among the masses about the benefits of H2O2, is propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, several initiatives undertaken by governments of various countries for pollution control applications are strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing employment of H2O2 to produce propylene oxide (HPPO) technology is offering a favorable market outlook. In line with this, the escalating demand for H2O2 in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to manufacture safe and hygienic packaging is providing lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Additionally, the rising demand for H2O2 in the agriculture industry to improve crop yield is impelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for H2O2 as a disinfectant against a wide range of microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and spores, is bolstering the growth of the market.
