Market Driver

Growing Volume of Wastewater Discharge Worldwide to Heighten Demand for H2O2

Wastewater management and treatment has become a serious challenge to governments and other regional and international bodies. According to UN Water, globally, approximately 80% of the wastewater is released into the ecosystem without being treated. As a result, around 1.8 billion people around the world are forced to use water contaminated with a wide variety of pollutants, putting them at risk of developing diseases such as cholera and typhoid. Hydrogen peroxide provides an optimal solution to the problem of wastewater treatment as this compound is extremely versatile and environment-friendly. It has strong oxidizing properties, which make it suitable for destroying different kinds of pollutants present in water. Furthermore, partial oxidation of toxic compounds using hydrogen peroxide can raise their biodegradability quotient, thus reducing their toxicity. Thus, the dire need to effectively treat wastewater is likely to fuel the hydrogen peroxide market growth.
