Hydrogen Peroxide for Disinfection and Sterilization Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Requirement in Food Packaging Applications

According to the FoodDrinkEurope report published in 2022, the European Union is the world's largest exporter of food and beverages, with exports outside the EU accounting for US$ 167.49 billion and a trade surplus of US$ 73 billion in 2022. Hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant for cardboard, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate packaging in direct contact with food and beverages. It is an environment-friendly disinfection product suited for application in the food industry. Thus, the rising demand for hydrogen peroxide in food packaging applications fuels the market growth.

Sterilization Application in Healthcare Industry

The operational and examination surfaces in healthcare facilities can be contaminated with microbes, which implies that failure to maintain a clean environment can lead to a risk of infection among patients and staff. Contaminated endoscopes that have been used widely are linked to a significant cause of infection in tertiary healthcare systems. Hydrogen peroxide is utilized as a disinfectant and sterilant by direct application in the form of aqueous solution at 3 to 9% concentration range. In March 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized restrictions on a carcinogenic gas called ethylene oxide, which was used to sterilize most medical devices. Strict limits on the utilization of cancer-inducing chemicals in sterilizing medical and healthcare facilities boost the hydrogen peroxide market.
