Peracetic Acid Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2026 - 2035
The Global Peracetic Acid Market was valued at USD 1 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% to reach USD 2.2 billion by 2035.
Growth is supported by rising demand for environmentally responsible disinfectants and increasing enforcement of food safety and sanitation regulations, particularly in developing economies. Regulatory bodies are tightening requirements around wastewater treatment and industrial discharge, which is accelerating adoption across municipal and industrial applications. Peracetic acid is gaining preference as concerns rise over the health and environmental impact of conventional disinfectants, especially those associated with harmful residual byproducts. Its effectiveness, biodegradability, and compatibility with regulatory frameworks are strengthening its position across multiple end-use sectors. The healthcare sector continues to demonstrate consistent demand as infection prevention remains a priority, encouraging wider use of peracetic acid in sterilization and sanitation processes. Together, these factors are reinforcing long-term growth and expanding the application scope of peracetic acid globally.

The solution-grade peracetic acid segment held 71.5% share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% through 2035. This grade maintains its leading position due to its broad end-use compatibility across sanitation, healthcare, and industrial disinfection. Ready-to-use formulations support rapid deployment and simplify operational processes, which continues to drive preference for solution-grade products.
The 5%-15% purity range accounted for 60% share in 2025 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% by 2035. This purity level is widely adopted because it offers an effective balance between antimicrobial performance, regulatory compliance, and safe handling characteristics, making it suitable for a wide range of sanitation and disinfection applications.
North America Peracetic Acid Market held 30.1% share in 2025. Regional growth is supported by evolving regulatory frameworks that emphasize approved disinfectants and controlled residual levels, particularly across food processing, healthcare, and industrial sanitation operations.
