The Global Peracetic Acid Market size was USD 1.17 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.21 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period.
The global peracetic acid (PAA) market is experiencing robust growth, fueled by rising demand for eco-friendly disinfectants, sanitizers, and sterilants across multiple industries. Peracetic acid, a powerful oxidizing agent derived from acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, is prized for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy and biodegradability, breaking down into harmless byproducts like water and oxygen. From 2021 to 2023, the market expanded steadily, driven by stringent hygiene regulations and growing applications in food and beverage, healthcare, and water treatment sectors. Key trends include the emergence of bio-based PAA, advancements in low-concentration formulations for safer handling, and increasing use in agriculture for crop protection. The medium concentration (5%-15%) grade leads due to its versatility, while disinfectants dominate applications. Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share, propelled by industrialization and food processing growth in China and India, while North America and Europe are significant contributors due to rigorous safety standards. Challenges such as high production costs and handling risks remain, but opportunities in wastewater treatment and emerging markets are set to drive the market through 2033.
