Organic Peroxide Market Size

ID: MRFR//4054-HCR | 139 Pages | Author: Priya Nagrale| December 2024

The growth of organic peroxide market is heavily affected by such market reasons that play out the principles of a dynamic market. The combined effect of these challenges includes decreasing demand from traditional applications that manufacture polymers, thus, the organic peroxides are used quite less. While industries like automotive, packaging and construction have operated in the past as isolated entities, today they are more and more connected and, therefore, become interdependent: The more the packaging, automotive, and construction industries expand, the more high performance polymers are in demand which ultimately drives the organic peroxides demand. The chemical entities are key contributors for the initiation polymerization process and in producing the lightweight as well as durable products.

In the year 2021, the organic peroxides have accumulated at USD 1.7 bn. The forecast of the market for organic peroxides is approximately 1.77 billion USD in 2023, and it is expected to grow up to 2.46 billion USD by 2032 by the compound annual growth rate of 4.20%.

Environmental aspect also has powerful impact on how much organic peroxide market share is. In addition to an increasing number of companies replacing the utilization of synthetic peroxides with organic peroxides, the industry strives to implement the use of more eco-friendly products as they are much more environment friendly option compared to using such traditional methods. In the course of implementation of more stringent rules and codes governing usage of dangerous chemicals, organic peroxides appear as a good choice of substitution, so they are favors growth of the market.

The global economic conditions visibly impact the organic peroxide market to a major extent. The interplay between the industry growth and overall economic condition is very strong as demand for organic peroxides from (construction, automotive, and electronics ) sectors, which are major consumers of organic peroxides,is highly sensitive to economic conditions. During a period of economic expansion, these markets are doing well, thus resulting in an increase in the demand for organic peroxides as thermal processes. On the other hand, the organics peroxides market may be affected by the reduced demand from these industries when the economy is in another down cycle.

With technological development, impermanence of organic peroxides also becomes a crucial market factor. A continuous advancement in the research and development area in a bid to create beneficial and efficient manufacturing processes is also in turn, a way to improve the output quality and performance of organic peroxides. This will see firms coming up looking at cutting edge solutions to help them in their businesses and this is enough to make the market grow. Moreover, the fact that the packaging technologies and storage methods of organic peroxides have been improved facilitates their usage in quite many areas by different application stakeholders.

Naturally, supply chain factors being the enablers of the availability and pricing of organic peroxides, they are the major decisive factor. Variables like supplies, operations and transportation affect the economy of organic peroxides, and make it a factor of cost. Changes in the prices of the materials or interruptions in the chain of supply can start affecting market dynamics, especially if they lead to higher production costs and, as a result, rise in the price of the final product.

Organic Peroxide Market Trends




  • Rising demand from several end-use industries is driving the market growth




Market CAGR for organic peroxide is driven by the rising demand from several end-use industries such as automotive, construction, electrical & electronics, and composites. The demand for organic peroxide as a catalyst in manufacturing commodities for packaging, personal care, and detergents is estimated to fuel the organic peroxide market share during the forecast period. The increasing usage of engineered plastics has enhanced the existing manufacturing capacity of the plastic sector, thereby intensifying the requirement for organic peroxide in polymerization processes. Furthermore, rapid urbanization, increasing infrastructure activities, and industrialization are expected to enhance the demand for plastic.


The growing production of synthetic rubber and elastomers are acting as prominent driving factors for market growth for organic peroxide. As per The International Rubber Study Group (IRSG), the world production of natural rubber enhanced by 5.4% from 13.065 million tonnes in 2020 to 13.770 million tonnes in 2021. Similarly, as per the National Bureau of Statistics China, the production of tires from January to August 2021 was 596.04 million, which increased by 22.1% compared to 2020. The growing production of rubber and thermoplastics, which uses organic peroxide in manufacturing, is expected to drive organic peroxide market revenue.


The paradigm shift in the textile industry is highly based on the application of new information and communication technologies which has entirely improved the long-distance supply chain capabilities and established a virtual exchange base that made a stable interactive platform for suppliers and buyers. Such revolutionary change in the entire industry had brought consumers much closer to various products and enabled all interested parties to reconsider the role of stakeholders in the entire value chain. Higher demand for textiles over the forecast period will substantially increase the requirement for organic peroxide altogether.


Fluctuating raw material prices often play a major role in determining the future demand for manufacturing such catalysts. High raw material prices reflect the market price over the end products, eventually contributing to higher profits. The presence or absence of any end-use industry will certainly swing the demand on either side over the projected period, and the requirement for the premium product is anticipated to surge. The expanding interest of consumers' preference to use engineered plastics has increased the existing manufacturing capacity of industries, thereby escalating the requirement of products for polymerization processes drives the market for organic peroxide.


Organic Peroxide Market Segment Insights


Organic Peroxide Type Insights


The organic peroxide market segmentation, based on type, includes ketone peroxide, diacetyl peroxide, percarbonates, peroxy ketals, and others. The ketone peroxide segment dominated the market, accounting for major market revenue over the forecast period. This is due to the increasing demand for plastic-reinforced glass or commonly known as fiberglass, on account of the production of watercraft in marine parts, substituting the use of wood and steel structures, and increasing demand for automotive in emerging economies is expected to propel the consumption of ketone for various crosslinking. Rising growth in the aviation sector based on the increasing demand for low-cost fares is anticipated to swing the requirement for high-end fiberglass thus increasing the consumption of the product over the forecast period drives the market for organic peroxide.


Organic Peroxide Application Insights
