Peracetic Acid Market Size Worth USD 1,685.58 Million by 2034 | CAGR: 6.0%

The peracetic acid market size is expected to reach USD 1,685.58 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Peracetic Acid Market Size, Share, Trend, Industry Analysis Report By Grade (<5% Grade, 5%–15% Grade, >15% Grade), By Application, By End Use, By Region – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The peracetic acid market represents a dynamic segment of the specialty chemicals industry, characterized by its wide applicability across sanitation, disinfection, and sterilization processes. Peracetic acid, a powerful oxidizing agent formed by combining acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, is valued for its rapid antimicrobial activity and minimal environmental residue. Demand continues to rise in sectors requiring stringent microbial control, particularly in food processing, water treatment, and healthcare. Growing concerns over resistant pathogens and contamination risks are pushing industries toward more reliable and residue-free solutions, positioning peracetic acid as a preferred alternative to chlorine-based agents.

The peracetic acid industry is witnessing increased adoption driven by regulatory pressure for safer, environmentally responsible disinfection methods and a shift toward sustainable operational practices. End users are prioritizing nontoxic biocidal agents that meet both efficacy and environmental compliance standards. Technology providers are responding through advancements in formulation, packaging, and delivery mechanisms to improve safety, stability, and ease of use. Additionally, expanding awareness about biosecurity in agricultural practices and infection control in clinical environments is unlocking new demand potential.
