Organic peroxides are widely employed in speciality chemicals. They have grown significantly over the last decade and are now utilised as accelerators, initiators, cross-linking agents, hardeners, activators, and curing and vulcanisation agents in polymer chemistry. Organic peroxides are also employed for bleaching and disinfection purposes. Moreover, several organic peroxides are used as active components in explosives. The rising use of organic peroxides in coating, adhesive, and synthetic rubber manufacture represents a significant opportunity for numerous industry players.

Drivers: The growing need for coatings and adhesives is a key factor driving the organic peroxide industry. Organic peroxides are widely used in coatings, acting as curing agents and offering advantages like creating more polymer chains with a lower molecular weight. The radicals produced are more selective, leading to less crosslinking and long chain branching, which helps control molecular weight and viscosity. The construction industry also supports market growth due to its demand for coatings and adhesives. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide is often used in acne treatment and skin lightening products. Increased research and development in skin treatments are expected to further enhance the growth of the organic peroxide industry.

Challenges: Organic peroxides are regarded as extremely dangerous compounds that can cause fires and explosions. Certain organic peroxides may also be poisonous or corrosive, and they may cause injury to the human body by exposure, ingesting, eye or skin contact, or inhalation. Because of their chemical instability, peroxides can break down rapidly and release heat when the temperature rises. Peroxides release flammable vapours that can easily set on fire. Certain organic peroxides exhibit high levels of reactivity. If they are coupled with inappropriate materials or subjected to heat or friction, they may react explosively. Organic peroxides are extremely flammable because they are also excellent oxidisers.

Market Trends: The global organic peroxide market is set to grow due to its increasing use in the automotive and aerospace industries. Organic peroxide is an important raw material for certain types of rubber that are common in automotive applications, such as seals and gaskets. The rise in investments for new automotive facilities, driven by the demand for electric vehicles, is expected to boost organic peroxide growth. Additionally, organic peroxides are in demand in the personal care industry, especially in acne-treatment creams, due to their antibacterial properties.
