| CAGR % 2023 to End of Forecast (2033) | 5.1% |
Japan’s strategic research and development efforts for sustainable technology development and exploring new applications for active oxygens is anticipated to bring significant growth in the product market. By 2033, the country’s active oxygen market is projected to worth more than USD 0.4 billion. Chemical synthesis, cleaning and disinfectants, and soil remediation end uses are expected to lead the market growth in the country.
Based on the product the active oxygens market is divided into peroxides and Ozone segments. The peroxide segment is anticipated to occupy the largest market share in 2023, due the pre-established products and their applications in the market. Peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide, calcium peroxide, etc. are well-known disinfectant chemicals which will witness a rise in demand as active oxygen in coming years.
In the forecast period, the ozone segment is predicted to grow at faster CAGR owing to the increasing production and rising applications of the product in various end-use industries. Ozone has emerged as a rapid antimicrobial which can be used in aseptic packaging, laundry care, water treatment, and chemical synthesis. Owing to these benefits of active oxygens, their market is expected to have significant growth prospects.
In the agrochemical industry, the need for soil remediation chemicals is on the rise. The inadequate levels of oxygen in the soil limits the ability of aerobic microorganism to degrade the contaminants through biological processes. In such cases, the active oxygen agents play a crucial role to meet the necessary oxygen demand. Heavy rainfall or poor irrigation techniques also results in reduced oxygen in the soil, where active oxygens are used extensively to remediate the soil for agriculture.
Similarly, the demand for active oxygens is on the rise to treat artificial or natural lakes where the oxygen levels are insufficient to effectively support the aquaculture. This usage of active oxygens is not only limited for a particular region but also applies for the different parts of the world due the changing climate conditions. As a result, the product is expected to witness thriving demand from this end-use segment.
