H1 2023: The prominent producers of Hydrogen Peroxide on a global scale in H1 2023 were Solvay, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC), and Evonik Industries AG. However, Solvay held the largest production capacity of hydrogen peroxide in H1 2023 all across the globe. In May 2023, Luxi Chemical Group, a subset of Sinochem Holdings, faced a fire incident at its Hydrogen Peroxide plant, located in Liaocheng in Shandong province of China. The accident affected lives of 9 people out of which 1 was missing and the remaining 8 were heavily injured. Based on consumption, Asia Pacific region was the leading consumer of Hydrogen Peroxide in H1 2023. However, Hydrogen peroxide prices in Asian countries were low in January 2023 as a result of sluggish demand from downstream end-user industries including the paper sector. However, soon, manufacturing activity increased throughout Asia as the market activity was improved. In March 2023, the price of hydrogen peroxide in China accelerated and increased. The demand for hydrogen peroxide increased in China as a result of an increase in inquiries from downstream end users including the paper industry. In April 2023, the price of hydrogen peroxide on the market increased sharply in China as there was hike in demand from pulp and paper sectors of the Chinese market. However, in May and June 2023, the price curve for hydrogen peroxide remained downward due to ample of inventories in the Asian countries.
H1 2022: In 2022, the global demand of Hydrogen peroxide reached approximately 4400 thousand tonnes with a growth of 5.52% in comparison to H1 2021. During H1 2022, the total production had reached 2190 thousand tonnes. They key producers of Hydrogen Peroxide were Solvay, Evonik Industries AG, and Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC). Solvay was leading in terms of production and held a market share of approximately 25% in H1 2022. However, Asia Pacific was leading in terms of consumption followed by Europe and North America. Hydrogen prices increased in China in June 2022 as a result of the growth in the need for better hygiene practices. Meanwhile, the price of anthraquinone from China's upstream supply was disrupted, while Palladium from Russia was low in supply because of the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine, which led to a hike in the prices of hydrogen peroxide in India. In the anthraquinone process, anthraquinone (AQ) catalyses the hydrogenation and autoxidation of dihydrogen to hydrogen peroxide with dioxygen from air via two steps. However, prices were quite stable in Japan. However, in May, Europe experienced a downward trajectory owing to the strong domestic anthraquinone inventories and exorbitant hydrogen peroxide stockpiles. However, from June, the prices began to rise due to insufficient upstream anthraquinone supply from Asia Pacific countries like China.
H2 2022: In H2 2022, the production rate was bit higher than H1 2022. During H2 2022, the hydrogen peroxide production levels reached a volume of approximately 2210 thousand tonnes. Asia Pacific consumed the major shares of the net Hydrogen peroxide market. However, due to the sluggish economy in the beginning of H2 2022, the price of hydrogen peroxide fell across China. It was observed that the cost of upstream anthraquinone was reduced by the consistent Russian supply of natural gas. Due to the uptick in paper demand in the downstream packaging industry, prices however rose. Japan's pricing trend for hydrogen peroxide was similar to that of China. A sluggish market was also observed across Europe in H2 2022. Due to inadequate operation rates brought on by high energy prices in Europe, demand in the downstream paper and pulp industry was extremely low in the European markets. Due to diminished bleaching requirements in industries as a result of subpar run rates, the consumer demand for the paper items were faded in Europe. North America faced a sluggish hydrogen peroxide market in H1 2022 with low production cost of the product. The main reason for the hydrogen peroxide cost reduction was mainly due to the low price of natural gas as a feedstock in the United States. Another reason like rise in inflation across U.S. was the low demand from the downstream sector.
The global Hydrogen Peroxide market has swelled to reach demand of approximately 4400 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.88% during the forecast period until 2032.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound which displays amazing oxidizing properties. In the paper and pulp sector, it functions as a bleaching agent to boost brightness levels, enhance brightness stability, and lower production costs. The use of hydrogen peroxide helps to reduce the amount of harmful halogenated substances and effluents present in pulp. Additionally, it makes the effluent's colour lighter. Hydrogen peroxide is also used to bleach mechanical pulp produced by the traditional groundwood method to reach high brightness levels. It is used along with caustic soda to stabilise and buffer wood pulp while removing traces of heavy metals. The most used textile bleaching agent is hydrogen peroxide. It is used to bleach natural cellulose-based fibres from plants and animals, including cotton, linen, and other fibres. Hydrogen peroxide has a strong bleaching effect among oxidizing agents and is comparably inexpensive.
The hydrogen peroxide market is expected to witness major expansion with the increasing demand from the pulp and paper industry. In the textile sector, hydrogen peroxide is frequently employed as a bleaching agent, which significantly adds to the market growth rate. Foods products like wheat flour and rice are cleaned and bleached using hydrogen peroxide to enhance color which further contributes to the hydrogen peroxide market expansion. The global Hydrogen Peroxide market is expected to expand significantly and touch nearly 7800 thousand tonnes by 2032.
Based on demand by region, Asia Pacific dominates the global Hydrogen Peroxide market followed by Europe. In 2022, Asia Pacific consumed approximately 35% of total Hydrogen Peroxide globally produced. This region is anticipated to foresee a market expansion in the forecast period as it is a hub for paper consumption, textile production, healthcare, and personal care products and has a presence of a huge population. Asia Pacific also holds the majority production capacity of Hydrogen Peroxide with China being the key player. Furthermore, China is the hub of polymers and plastics, and many companies have set up manufacturing plants. However, Europe is the second largest consumer of Hydrogen Peroxide. With the increasing demand in the European market for numerous personal care goods, the demand for hydrogen peroxide will most likely rise in future. Germany plays a significant role in the expansion of the European market. Additionally, the prominence of major firms like Solvay S.A., Evonik Industries A.G., and Arkema S.A. fosters competition for the development of this region.
Based on the end-user industry, the global Hydrogen Peroxide market is segmented into Paper & Pulp, Textiles, Water & Waste Water Treatment, Food Processing, Electronics & Semiconductors, Pharmaceuticals, and Others. Among these, the Paper & Pulp industry is dominating the Hydrogen Peroxide market. This industry consumed approximately 47% of the market in 2022 and is anticipated to domain the market in the forecast period as well. Hydrogen Peroxide is frequently used in the paper industry to produce high-quality paper and packaging purposes. Globally, rate of paper consumption has been rising over the past few years and is likely to augment market expansion in future. However, the textiles sector also uses hydrogen peroxide extensively and constitutes a sizeable portion of the market. Furthermore, due to its powerful oxidizing capacity, hydrogen peroxide is used as a bleaching agent in certain edible products including wheat flour, edible oil, egg white, etc. in countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Major players in the production of Global Hydrogen Peroxide are Evonik Industries AG, SOLVAY, Arkema S.A, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company (MGC), Sunkyong Chemicals Ltd., Oci Chemicals, National Peroxide Limited (NPL), Indian Peroxide Limited (IPL), Eka Chemicals, Kemira Oyj, Taekwang Industrial Co. ltd., and Others.
