2018 to 2022 Persulfates Demand Analysis vs. Forecast 2023 to 2033

Over the historical period, the COVID-19 pandemic influenced metal production because mining was halted due to quarantine regulations and worker protections. The coronavirus pandemic has had a substantial impact on the electronics sector, disrupting the distribution network of electronic components. Furthermore, COVID-19 had an adverse influence on the oil and gas industry, where persulfates are used as gel breakers, as popularity reduced.

In the coming decades, market growth will be enabled by continuous research and development for the innovation of Persulfates. Over the forecast timeframe, market growth will be driven by the increasing use of Persulfates as a peroxymonosulfate in water treatment developments. (2023 to 2033).

During the forthcoming years, the market is anticipated to be propelled by increasing demands for persulfates in the electronics industry to be utilized in the cleaning and etching of printed wiring substrates. As, persulfates are utilized for surface cleaning of metals such as brass, copper, nickel, aluminum, zinc, and titanium which is estimated to raise demand and spur the market for persulfates.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Persulfates Market?

Burgeoning Wastewater Treatment Projects are propelling the market growth

Persulfates are employed by the water treatment sector to treat contaminants such as halogenated olefins, perfluorinated substances, phenols, pharmaceutical drugs, inorganics, and others. The global rise in wastewater management initiatives is promoting the expansion of the water treatment market.

The Philippines Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant in Mandaluyong, for example, started construction in 2020. In order to reduce adverse effects on Manila Bay and the Pasig River, including its environmental footprint, it will consistently meet federal guidelines that exceed EU requirements.

The venture is currently under construction, with an anticipated completion date of early 2024. Besides that, work on the New Upper Thompson Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Facility,a future production wastewater treatment project will begin in the United States by 2023. Such projects are growing rapidly for persulfates and, as a result, cruising sales growth.

Increasing polymers Production is Soaring the market growth

Potassium Persulfate is used as a polymerization initiator in the creation of a variety of polymers, including vinyl, neoprene, and others. Factors such as rising consumption from the packaging industry boost growth from transportation to ensure excellent durability and flexibility, among others. These aspects are hastening the expansion of the polymers industry.

As reported by the Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers' Association (CPMA), polymer production in India was 12.35 million tons in 2020 and 13.54 million tonnes in 2021, a 9.63% increase. As a result, rising polymer production is driving up supply for persulfates, ramping up market growth.

What are the Challenges Projected to be Faced by the Market?

Persulfate-related health concerns pose a market challenge

Because of the health risks associated with the use of persulfates, there are various restrictions imposed on their usage. For example, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services has classified sodium persulfates as a hazardous substance since they can induce eye, nose, and skin irritation as well as respiratory issues.

Furthermore, raw materials utilized in the production of persulfates, such as persulfuric acid, have negative health impacts. As a consequence, the aforementioned medical problems associated with the use of persulfates may limit the persulfates industry's growth during the predicted forecast period.

What Makes North America the Largest Market for Persulfates?

The presence of several leading manufacturers in the plastics industry drives the market

Over the forthcoming years, North America is expected to grow at a revenue-based CAGR of 3.8%. This is due to the existence of several key manufacturers in the plastic industry in the USA, including ExxonMobil Chemical Division and DoW Chemical. The plastics industry is the nation's third-largest manufacturing sector. High-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene are a few of the most widely produced polymers in the USA.

In terms of size, the USA electronics market is the biggest in the world. It is anticipated to remain the market leader during the projected timeframe, owing to the use of sophisticated technology, a rise in the number of Research and Development centers, and rising consumer demand. Therefore, this factor will generate major revenue for the market in North America.

Why is Asia Pacific Considered a Lucrative Region for the Persulfates Market?

Changing fashion and lifestyle trends are spurring industry growth

Asia Pacific has emerged as the dominant region, accounting for more than 45.5% of revenue in 2021. The existence of a substantial number of plastic manufacturing sectors in countries such as China, Indonesia, and Malaysia is credited with the development. Thailand's plastic production industry has expanded quickly in recent years, with approximately 5,000-5500 organizations.

Furthermore, evolving fashion and lifestyle trends may encourage the growth of hair dyes, and thus persulfates, due to their use in hair bleaches and color correctors to decolorize hair by oxidizing colors present in the hair shaft. During the forecast years, the Asia-Pacific hair color market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 6.1%, which may augment the persulfates market.
