Peracetic Acid Market Growth Potential: How Will Market Size Change Through 2030?
The peracetic acid market has witnessed substantial expansion over recent years. This market is anticipated to grow from $1.23 billion in 2025 to $1.35 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. Significant factors contributing to its past growth include the escalating demand for hospital infection control, its extensive application in pulp and paper bleaching, the crucial need for food processing sanitation, the abundant availability of hydrogen peroxide, and various regulatory clearances for disinfectants.
The peracetic acid market is anticipated to undergo considerable growth in the upcoming years. This market is expected to achieve a valuation of $1.94 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The expansion during this projected timeframe is driven by factors such as heightened investments in water reuse, the enforcement of stricter hygiene regulations, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, elevated safety standards for food exports, and the broader acceptance of eco-friendly sanitizers. Key developments anticipated within this forecast period include a surging demand for highly effective disinfectants, their increasing deployment in food safety applications, greater integration into water treatment processes, expanding needs for healthcare sterilization, and a distinct movement towards environmentally degradable oxidizers.

#Peracetic Acid Market Growth Drivers And Industry Catalysts
The increasing need for safe drinking water is anticipated to boost the expansion of the peracetic acid market in the future. This surge in drinking water demand stems from factors such as expanding populations, urban development, industrialization, growing agricultural requirements, and the effects of climate change on water reserves, intensifying competition for finite freshwater sources. Peracetic acid plays a crucial role in delivering safe drinking water, as it efficiently eliminates pathogens while leaving no detrimental residues or byproducts, thereby guaranteeing both water security and environmental protection. For example, an August 2025 report from the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, a US-based United Nations agency, highlighted that by 2024, around 2.1 billion individuals globally still did not have access to securely managed drinking water services. Consequently, the imperative for safe drinking water is a primary catalyst for the growth observed in the peracetic acid market.

#Peracetic Acid Market Trends Influencing Long-Term Demand
Leading companies in the peracetic acid market are prioritizing the development of innovative products, including recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and biocides, to enhance productivity. Recirculating aquaculture systems offer an environmentally friendly method of fish farming that reuses water to maintain optimal conditions while minimizing environmental impact, thereby enabling high-density fish cultivation and water conservation. Biocides are chemical compounds utilized to eliminate or manage harmful organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and pests, with applications in areas like disinfection, pest control, and water treatment. For instance, in May 2023, Evonik introduced VIGOROX Trident to effectively reduce fish pathogens in recirculating aquaculture systems and ponds, even when fish are present. The main objective is to provide an efficient treatment for managing water quality and decreasing waterborne fish pathogens in aquaculture.
