The global Calcium Peroxide market size is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing need for oxidants to maintain soil quality and achieve high yields.
Calcium peroxide is a form of inorganic peroxide that breaks down on contact with hydrated material, releasing oxygen. Its chemical formula is CaO2 and is known as calcium dioxide and calcium superoxide. Calcium peroxide is a pale yellow, odorless compound. Calcium peroxide has lightening, disinfecting and deodorizing properties, and is widely used in the food, agrochemical, and personal care industries. Generally, calcium peroxide is used in soil remediation, bulk conditioning, seed disinfection, oil bleaching, antiseptic, starch modification, and other applications. Calcium peroxide is used as a stabilizer in rubber manufacturing, and calcium peroxide is used to harden polysulfide sealants which are subsequently used in double-glazed windows. In precious metal mining, such as gold and silver, peroxide calcium is mainly consumed to increase the recovery efficiency and to reduce the cyanide consumption.

The Agriculture segment is projected to hold a major market share
Based on end users, the calcium peroxide market is segmented into Food and Beverages, Agriculture, Mining, Pharmaceuticals, Paper and Pulp, and other End Users. The agriculture segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period. Developing countries including India and China saw significant demand as they are key ingredient in the pre-treatment of crops, such as rice. As these regions are major rice producers, the agricultural sector in these countries has seen strong demand from the overuse of hydrocarbons contaminated in recent years due to its ability to maintain soil health and crop quality.
The dough conditioner segment is anticipated to hold a large market share during forecast period
Based on applications, the calcium peroxide market is segmented into seed disinfectant, bleaching agent, dough conditioner, oxidizing agent, intermediary chemicals, and other applications. The dough conditioner segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for food supplement, the number of calcium peroxide is E E930, which can be used as flour bleaching agent and improving agent. When calcium peroxide comes into contact with water, calcium peroxide decomposes into oxygen, oxidizes and strengthens disulfides, non-disulfides, and gluten-free seams. It is a fast-acting dough oxidizer that allows the gluten to retain more moisture, thereby making the dough softer. Features such as processing dough, easy to dry the surface of the dough and reduce stickiness, increase productivity, strengthen the dough, and easy to handle boost the market.
The food segment is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period
Based on grades, the calcium peroxide market is bifurcated into food and industrial. The food segment is expected to hold a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to the increasing use of food-grade calcium peroxide in baked goods. Calcium peroxide is mainly used in baked goods because it can strengthen the gluten in the dough, improve texture, moisture retention, and yield.
Asia Pacific is expected to hold a major market share
On the basis of regions, the calcium peroxide market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the major market share during the forecast period. Growth of the market is attributed to increasing population, rising disposable income, rapid industrialization, and the growth of the pulp and paper industry, especially in countries such as China and India. The market in North America and Europe accounts for most of the world's calcium peroxide.
Key players competing in the calcium peroxide market include Solvay SA, PeroxyChem, American Elements, Nikunj Chemicals, and Carus Group Inc.
The calcium peroxide market is partially integrated, and only a few companies share most of the market. Companies are engaging in mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships to extend their market share. Moreover they are focusing on expanding their product portfolio to leverage their market position.
