Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The major driving factors for the growth of the global hydrogen peroxide market include wastewater treatment plants, the healthcare sector, and industries such as paper and pulp. Hydrogen peroxide has valuable properties such as efficient bleaching and antiseptic properties, making it a valuable commodity in all these industries. The emergence of COVID-19 is expected to further drive the growth of the market during the forecast timeframe.
The application of hydrogen peroxide in drinking water is minimal, but it is used to treat wastewater produced in industries. Hydrogen peroxide is a good antiseptic agent as it can kill all the germicidal and also by the release of oxygen will cure the skin cuts and bruises. It is also extensively used in oral healthcare because it can help overcome mouth irritation due to dentures, gingivitis, and orthodontic appliances.
The emergence of COVID-19 has resulted in the increasing demand for sanitization and disinfection agents. COVID-19 has affected more than 155 million global populations by May 2021. One of the efficient ways to control transmission is by properly sanitization of public places such as airports, railway stations, schools, commercial buildings, and others. Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in many disinfectants and sanitizing solutions by adding 3% to 4% of hydrogen peroxide in the solution.
Hydrogen peroxide is very effective against bacteria, viruses, bacteria, and many other microorganisms. Many new products based on hydrogen peroxide are frequently launched in the market. For instance, in November 2020, “Libman Multi-Surface Disinfecting Cleaner” was launched by the company. It contains hydrogen peroxide that can kill 99.9 percent of germs, including viruses.
