Organic Peroxide Market Overview
The Global Organic Peroxide Market is predicted to reach at a high CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Organic peroxides are organic composites having two oxygen atoms that find applications in polymerization, where they are utilized as initiators, such as the epoxy resins employed in glass-reinforced plastics. Additionally, they also function as activators, hardeners, accelerators, cross-linking agents, and curing & vulcanization agents, making organic peroxides dynamic chemicals employed in polymer chemistry.
Moreover, organic peroxides are used as disinfecting & bleaching agents. For instance, benzoyl peroxide is useful for treating most kinds of acne. Organic peroxides are usually employed as essential ingredients in explosives. The characteristic of organic peroxides utilized for producing explosives is that they deliberately initiate explosive polymerization in elements with unsaturated chemical bonds. Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) & hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) are generally known as explosive organic peroxides.
Furthermore, diluted organic peroxides offer more stability when exposed to physical shock or heat than undiluted organic peroxides. Moreover, diluted organic peroxides are safer to handle, produce and use for further applications. In addition, an organic peroxide is used as a curing agent, high polymer initiator, cross-linking agent, accelerator, catalyst, hardener, activator and promoter. However, usage of activator and accelerator needs to be checked as these substances might result in an accident when mixed with organic peroxide.

The organic peroxides market is expected to expand significantly due to increasing research and development on organic peroxide applications.
Increasing demand for renewable raw material
Furthermore, the growing demand for renewable raw materials due to demand for a clean and safe environment and product development is boosting the organic peroxide market growth. In addition, increasing the chemical industry in countries such as India, Indonesia, and China is expected to drive the demand for organic peroxide in the next five to six years. Advancements in the processing industry are anticipated to boost the organic peroxide market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, industrialization is an important factor leading to increasing demand for textiles & paper, coating adhesives, and chemical & plastic.
Safety, handling and hazardous while transportation is anticipated to hinder the market growth
However, organic peroxide's safety, handling, and transportation are major concerns hindering the market growth. Additionally, companies are focused on developing varied packaging options for organic peroxide handling to avoid hazardous during transportation.
Market Segmentation Analysis
By end-user, the market is segmented into chemical, paints & coatings, packaging, construction & building, automotive, textiles, personal care and others.
The textile sector dominated the organic peroxide market share, accounting for 27.89% of the global demand in 2016 in terms of volume. Growing demand for readymade clothing among the emerging middle-class population on trends such as adaptation of western fashion, designer wears and brand preferences are anticipated to increase the need for organic peroxide over the next eight years. Remodeling interior architecture as a part of the enhanced creative decoration is anticipated to raise the demand of the curtain & carpet industry, overall upscaling the need for mentioned products during the forecast period.
Moreover, the global demand for ketone peroxide is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR in volume during the forecast period. Increasing demand for plastic reinforced glass or fiberglass, on account of the production of watercraft in marine parts, substituting the use of steel & wood structures, and growing demand of automotive in emerging economies are predicted to increase the consumption of ketone for various crosslinking. Surging growth in the aviation sector based on the increasing demand for low-cost fares is anticipated to swing the requirement of high-end fiberglass’s thus increasing the consumption of the product during the forecast years.
Market Geographical Analysis
Based on the geography, the organic peroxide market is segmented into North America, Europe, South America, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The demand for organic peroxide in the North American market is expected to remain at the dominant position in sales and value generation due to the growing volume of trade and e-commerce in countries such as the U.S.
Asia Pacific region holds the significant market share of global organic peroxide
The Asia Pacific, except Japan, is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to increasing demand for organic peroxide in packaging and paper and the chemical industry. Also, China is expected to account for maximum demand for organic peroxide in the APAC region. Moreover, APAC accounted for 27.42% of the global market in 2016. The Asia Pacific has been one of the largest consumers of plastic products accounting for over 41.89% of global demand, which is expected to grow during the forecast period. The emergence of India & China as major product manufacturing destinations coupled with gains in exports and domestic demand is anticipated to promote the product's usage over the forecast period.
Furthermore, factors such as the free trade agreement in Singapore, which is among the fastest rising market for technical textiles and the U.S. producers entering new regions, are expected to bring substantial growth during the predicted period. Moreover, North America is anticipated to witness a mild decrease in growth during the forecast period due to the shifting interest of manufacturers towards competitive regions that have abundant raw materials and low-cost labor.

- Plastic manufacturers utilize a broad range of organic peroxides as polymerization initiators for synthesizing key thermoplastic polymers such as Polystyrene, Polyvinylchloride, EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer), LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), Polymethyl methacrylate etc. The oxygen bond in organic peroxides is reacted by thermal energy-releasing free radicals that can assist as an initiator for the independent radical polymerization reaction. In polypropylene (PP) qualification, the free radicals liberated by decomposing organic peroxides drive to degradation of PP called vis-breaking. The result is a modification to the melt flow index of PP.
Key Development:
- In May 2019, Arkema disclosed its new Hydrogen Peroxide grade for spray Aseptic packaging systems: Valsterane® S-HP (Spray High-Performance). This grade is available in two different concentrations, 25% and 35% of hydrogen peroxide, to suit specific machine requirements.
