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.
Tariffs are impacting the calcium peroxide market by increasing costs of imported raw materials, chemical intermediates, processing equipment, and specialized packaging used in food and industrial grades. Agriculture and environmental remediation sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported chemical inputs, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are raising product prices and tightening margins for manufacturers. However, they are also encouraging local chemical synthesis, regional sourcing of raw materials, and investment in domestic peroxide production facilities.

This calcium peroxide market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The calcium peroxide market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.6 billion in 2025 to $4.03 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing agricultural soil treatment practices, expansion of pulp and paper processing activities, growing use in seed disinfection applications, rising demand for bleaching agents in food processing, availability of industrial-grade calcium peroxide.
The calcium peroxide market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.16 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable agriculture inputs, rising demand for eco-friendly oxidizing chemicals, expansion of environmental cleanup projects, growing adoption in aquaculture oxygen management, increasing regulatory support for soil health solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of oxygen-releasing soil amendments, rising adoption in environmental remediation applications, growing demand for food-grade oxidizing agents, expansion of aquaculture oxygenation solutions, enhanced focus on sustainable chemical inputs.
The rise in the oral healthcare industry is expected to propel the growth calcium peroxide market. Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping one's mouth clean and free from disease and other problems by regular brushing of the teeth and cleaning between the teeth. The rising frequency of dental disorders, the increasing number of practicing dentists on a global scale, and technical developments in oral care products are the primary drivers driving the oral healthcare market. Calcium peroxide is used as a whitening agent in oral care products which helps the tooth enamel renewing the teeth while they are being whitened. For instance, in August 2024, according to the National Health Service (NHS), a UK-based healthcare system, dental treatment courses increased by 4.3% in 2023/24, totaling 34 million. In the 24 months ending March 2024, 18 million adult patients received care, while total dental activity units rose by 3.4% to reach 73 million. Thus, the growing oral healthcare industry drives the calcium peroxide market.
Rising agricultural productivity is expected to drive the growth of the calcium peroxide market going forward. Agricultural productivity measures how efficiently inputs such as labor and capital are used to produce outputs such as crops and livestock, typically expressed as yield per unit of input. Increases in agricultural productivity are supported by advancements in technology, improved farming practices, and better crop management, resulting in higher crop yields and more efficient resource use, ultimately contributing to food security and economic growth. Calcium peroxide is used in agriculture mainly as a soil amendment to improve aeration, enhance nutrient availability, and support healthier plant growth through its oxygen-releasing properties. For instance, in June 2025, according to Official Statistics, UK-based government agencies, total income from farming (TIFF) rose to £7.7 billion ($10.2 billion) in 2024, an increase of about £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) compared to 2023. Therefore, rising agricultural productivity will boost the growth of the calcium peroxide market.
Major companies operating in the calcium peroxide market are investing in production expansion to strengthen competitiveness and increase market share by improving supply reliability and meeting growing demand across key end-use industries. Production expansion efforts enable manufacturers to scale output, streamline distribution, and support rising applications in environmental remediation, food processing, and agriculture. For instance, in 2023, Peroxidos do Brasil, a joint venture between Solvay - a Belgium-based multinational chemical company - and the Brazilian group Produtos Quimicos Makay (PQM), completed a $78 million expansion investment package to boost hydrogen peroxide production capacity in Brazil and Chile. This strategic expansion improves regional availability of calcium peroxide and peroxide-based products, allowing the company to serve a wider customer base and secure a larger share of the Latin American market.
