Calcium Peroxide Global Market Report 2025

Calcium peroxide, represented by the formula CaO2, is an inorganic compound produced by combining calcium salts and hydrogen peroxide. This chemical is nearly insoluble in water but undergoes hydrolysis upon contact, releasing oxygen. Exposure to acid leads to its decomposition into hydrogen peroxide. Recognized for its robust oxidizing properties, calcium peroxide finds significant use in agriculture for enhancing soil quality and boosting productivity.

Calcium peroxide is available in different grades, primarily food and industrial. Food-grade variants are formulated from materials deemed safe and appropriate for their designated use without altering the food's composition or introducing hazardous elements. Its applications span across various industries including food and beverage, agriculture, mining, pharmaceuticals, paper and pulp, encompassing roles such as seed disinfectants, bleaching agents, dough conditioners, and oxidizing agents.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The escalating U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are expected to significantly affect the chemicals sector, which is facing a disproportionate impact-particularly from tariffs on petrochemicals and intermediates, where affordable domestic alternatives are limited. Specialty chemical producers, who rely heavily on Chinese raw materials, are encountering production disruptions. Meanwhile, fertilizer manufacturers are seeing their profit margins squeezed due to tariffs on phosphate imports. In response, companies are increasing investments in R&D for bio-based alternatives, forming procurement alliances to strengthen purchasing power, and relocating production to tariff-neutral countries like Saudi Arabia.

The calcium peroxide market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides calcium peroxide market statistics, including calcium peroxide industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a calcium peroxide market share, detailed calcium peroxide market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the calcium peroxide industry. This calcium peroxide market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The calcium peroxide market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.26 billion in 2024 to $3.6 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in the paper and pulp industries, strong economic growth in emerging markets, expansion in wastewater treatment facilities, and an increase in demand for food grains.

The calcium peroxide market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in the paper and pulp industries, strong economic growth in emerging markets, expansion in wastewater treatment facilities, and an increase in demand for food grains. Major trends in the forecast period include a rise in mergers and acquisitions among market players and increasing investments in production plants to expand production capacity.

The forecast of 11.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by raising costs for environmental remediation and dental products, sourced mainly from Germany and Japan.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growth of the oral healthcare industry is anticipated to boost the calcium peroxide market. Oral hygiene involves maintaining a clean mouth and preventing diseases through regular teeth brushing and interdental cleaning. Key factors driving the oral healthcare market include the rising incidence of dental disorders, an increasing number of practicing dentists worldwide, and advancements in oral care products. Calcium peroxide serves as a whitening agent in oral care products, assisting in the renewal of tooth enamel while whitening the teeth. For instance, in August 2024, the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based healthcare system, reported a 4.3% increase in dental treatment courses for 2023/24, totaling 34 million. In the 24 months leading up to March 2024, 18 million adult patients received care, and total dental activity units grew by 3.4%, reaching 73 million. Therefore, the expanding oral healthcare industry is driving the calcium peroxide market.

The calcium peroxide market is expected to experience growth fueled by rapid industrialization during the forecast period. The acceleration of industrialization has led to increased levels of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide emissions, prompting a shift toward decarbonization. This transition is poised to facilitate market expansion. In 2022, as reported by Trading Economics, a US-based information provider, industrial production in the United States witnessed a 0.2% annual increase in April 2023, following a 0.1% rise in March. The trajectory of rapid industrialization is anticipated to contribute significantly to the growth of the calcium peroxide market in the forecast period.

The growth of the calcium peroxide market is expected to be driven by an increased demand for bakery products during the forecast period. Calcium peroxide plays a crucial role in bakery product manufacturing by aiding in the smoothening of dough. It serves as a dough conditioner, expediting and simplifying the bread-making process. The use of calcium peroxide as a fast-oxidizing agent and dough conditioner is common in yeast-leavened bread items. A report from the Association of German Plant Bakeries in September 2022 highlighted a growth in the exports of bread and bakery products from Germany in the first half of 2022. The export of approximately 753,100 tons of baked goods, with bread accounting for 30% of total exports, illustrates the increasing adoption of dough conditioners and supports the growth of the calcium peroxide market.

Companies in the calcium peroxide market are strategically investing in production expansion to achieve competitive expansion and augment their market share. For example, in 2023, Peroxidos do Brasil, a joint venture between the Belgian multinational chemical company Solvay and the Brazilian group Produtos Quimicos Makay (PQM), successfully concluded a $78 million investment package for expanding its hydrogen peroxide production capacity in Brazil and Chile.

The expected increase in agricultural productivity is likely to drive the growth of the calcium peroxide market in the future. Agricultural productivity reflects how efficiently inputs, such as labor and capital, are utilized to produce outputs like crops and livestock, typically expressed as yield per unit of input. This rising productivity is fueled by technological advancements, improved farming practices, and enhanced crop management, resulting in higher crop yields and more efficient resource use, which ultimately bolsters food security and economic growth. Calcium peroxide is primarily utilized in agriculture as a soil amendment to enhance aeration, improve nutrient availability, and promote healthier plant growth due to its oxygen-releasing properties. For instance, in July 2023, a report from the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK government department, indicated a 3.4% increase in agricultural sector productivity in the United Kingdom from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, total crop output rose by 1.7% in 2022, with oilseed rape and barley outputs increasing by 39% and 12%, respectively. Thus, the rise in agricultural productivity is set to propel the calcium peroxide market.
