Peracetic acid has recently used in wastewater disinfection. Utility companies primarily use disinfectants to destroy pathogenic organisms that spread waterborne diseases. Any disease causing microbes, including bacteria, helminths, spores, and protozoa will be sufficiently treated by an appropriate disinfectant. Peracetic acid is typically available in concentrations ranging from 5% to 22%. When it is dissolve in water, it produces free Hydrogen Peroxyl (HO2) and Hydroxyl (OH) radicals, which have a high oxidizing capacity and play an important role in microbial disinfection. Due to all this beneficial properties, adoption of peracetic acid in waste water treatments is increasing. Increasing wastewater treatment processes will drive the growth of global peracetic acid market worldwide.

Changing lifestyle of consumers with the increasing purchasing power of consumers across emerging as well as developed regions is expected to increases the market growth. The increasing number of working women with the growth in the urban populations is creating demand for processed food and improved quality water. Peracetic acid is widely used as a preservative in the meat, poultry and fisheries products.

On the basis of region, global peracetic acid market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA. Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market in 2022. The growing demand from various industries, such as water treatment, food, and healthcare, is increasing the demand for peracetic acid products. Rising foreign investment in the Asia Pacific market due to cheap labour and easy access to raw materials, this will boost the growth of the market. China is the largest food & beverage market in the Asia Pacific region with consumer spending on restaurants, cafes, etc. Also the increasing requirement for clean water in the region will boost the market for water treatment industry during the forecast period. According to US International Trade Commission report, countries like China and India by 2035 would consume the largest volume of water in municipal and domestic, industry and agriculture consumption thus increasing the demand for peracetic acid in wastewater treatment.
