The peracetic acid market size is estimated to be USD 813 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 1,685 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.6%, between 2020 and 2030. Peracetic acid is widely used as disinfectant, sanitizer, bleach, sterilant, industrial reagent, oxidizer, and polymerization catalyst. It is a strong oxidizing agent and has stronger oxidation potential than chlorine or chlorine dioxide. Peracetic acid plays a vital role in the prevention of microbial growth. Global concerns, such as toxic & explosive materials, unwanted harmful process derivatives, end-use performances, and functionality of finished products can be resolved by using the peracetic acid solution, among other competitive products. Its properties include optimum performance, safe derivatives, longer shelf life, and slower thermal degradation. The by–products of the use of peracetic acid are water, H2O2, and acetic acid, which are environment friendly. Thus, it offers comparatively better performance along with less environmental concerns during operational exposure to workers.
