Market Challenges

• The global hydrogen peroxide market is anticipated to face challenges due to the increasing use of substitutes in various industries. In the pulp and paper industry, the adoption of chlorine-based bleaching agents, sodium dithionate, xylanase enzymes, polyaluminum chloride, and alum is on the rise. These substitutes offer cost-effective solutions and suitable properties for specific applications. For instance, polyaluminum chloride is commonly used in wastewater treatment due to its insipidness, efficient solubility, non-toxicity, high strength, and high basicity. Similarly, in the medical industry, ETO sterilizers have emerged as an alternative to hydrogen peroxide for sterilizing heat and moisture-sensitive medical devices. These sterilizers use ethylene oxide gas, which infiltrates sealed films and cartons to deliver sterility assurance levels. However, the availability of these substitutes may hinder the growth of the hydrogen peroxide market during the forecast period.
• The Hydrogen Peroxide market faces several challenges in various industries. In the realm of personal care and medical industries, biological degradability is a significant concern. Chemical formulators strive to create eco-friendly hydrogen peroxide-based products for personal care, such as hair care formulations and skincare creams, lotions. In medical industries, its oxidizing abilities and antimicrobial properties are crucial. Water borne illnesses drive the demand for hydrogen peroxide in water treatment. Phosphorus and nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment require its oxidation abilities. In the pulp and paper industry, hydrogen peroxide serves as a bleaching agent. In chemical synthesis, it plays a vital role. Intense competition in the market necessitates process reforms and patented technologies. Hydrogen Peroxide functions as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and oxidant in various sectors like mining, cosmetics and healthcare, textiles. However, supply chain disruptions due to raw material availability, such as Propylene Oxide, pose challenges. The HPPO process is a promising solution to mitigate these issues.
