Peracetic Acid Market Size Forecast Points To $1.94 Billion In Revenue By 2030
The peracetic acid market has demonstrated robust growth in recent years. It is projected to increase from $1.23 billion in 2025 to $1.35 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. This historical expansion can be attributed to factors such as demand for hospital infection control, its utilization in pulp and paper bleaching, the need for food processing sanitation, the availability of hydrogen peroxide, and regulatory approvals for disinfectants.
The peracetic acid market is projected to experience substantial expansion over the coming years, with its size expected to reach $1.94 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. This anticipated growth during the forecast period is driven by various factors, including increased investments in water reuse, the enforcement of stricter hygiene regulations, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, stringent food export safety standards, and the rising adoption of eco-friendly sanitizers. Major trends for the forecast period include a growing demand for high-efficacy disinfectants, their increasing use in food safety applications, enhanced utilization in water treatment processes, expanding requirements for healthcare sterilization, and a shift towards environmentally degradable oxidizers.

Peracetic Acid Market Driver Analysis: Key Factor Supporting Revenue Growth
The increasing need for safe potable water is projected to fuel expansion in the peracetic acid market. This growing demand for drinking water stems from factors such as increasing population, urbanization, industrialization, higher agricultural requirements, and the effects of climate change on water reserves, intensifying competition for finite freshwater sources. Peracetic acid is essential for ensuring safe drinking water, as it efficiently eliminates pathogens without introducing detrimental residues or byproducts, thereby guaranteeing water safety and supporting environmental sustainability. Illustratively, a report from the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, a US-based United Nations agency, indicated in August 2025 that as of 2024, around 2.1 billion people globally still did not have access to safely managed drinking water services. Consequently, the impetus for safe drinking water is a key factor propelling the expansion of the peracetic acid market.

Latest Peracetic Acid Market Developments And Emerging Trends
Leading companies in the peracetic acid market are focusing on developing innovative products such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and biocides to enhance productivity. Recirculating aquaculture systems provide a sustainable fish farming method that recycles water to maintain optimal quality while minimizing environmental impact, thus allowing for high-density fish farming and water conservation. Biocides are chemical agents utilized to eliminate or manage harmful organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and pests, across various applications such as disinfection, pest management, and water treatment. For instance, in May 2023, Evonik launched VIGOROX Trident to effectively reduce fish pathogens in recirculating aquaculture systems and ponds, even in the presence of fish. The primary aim is to offer an effective treatment for managing water quality and reducing waterborne fish pathogens in aquaculture.
