The global peracetic acid market size was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow USD 1.3 billion in 2026 to USD 2.3 billion in 2033, at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2026 to 2033. Europe dominated the market with the largest revenue share of 35.2% in 2025.
The growth is driven by increasing demand for high-performance disinfectants and sterilization solutions across healthcare, food processing, and water treatment industries. Rising regulatory emphasis on hygiene standards, coupled with growing adoption of environmentally sustainable and chlorine-free disinfection technologies.
The increasing demand for high-performance disinfectants and sterilization solutions across healthcare, food processing, and water treatment industries primarily drives the market growth. Rising awareness regarding hygiene standards, infection control, and food safety regulations has accelerated the adoption due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy and environmentally favorable decomposition characteristics. In the healthcare sector, the growing volume of surgical procedures and stringent hospital sanitation protocols continue to support demand for sterilants and disinfectants. The expansion of processed food production and beverage bottling has increased the use of equipment, sanitation, and surface disinfection. Increasing investments in wastewater treatment infrastructure and the shift toward chlorine-free disinfection technologies are further contributing to sustained market growth.
The market presents growth opportunities as the adoption of sustainable, eco-friendly disinfection chemistries rises across industrial and municipal applications. Increasing regulatory pressure to minimize harmful chemical residues and by-products is encouraging end users to transition toward peracetic acid-based formulations, particularly in water treatment and food processing operations. Emerging economies are witnessing rapid industrialization, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and increasing packaged food consumption, creating favorable demand conditions for advanced sanitation solutions. The ongoing technological advancements in stabilized peracetic acid formulations, automated dosing systems, and high-concentration grades are expected to improve operational efficiency and broaden application potential. Growing demand from niche applications such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture, sanitation, and industrial cleaning is also expected to create new revenue streams.
