According to Business Market Insights' research, the North America hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market was valued at US$ 193.64 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 289.37 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.1% from 2023 to 2031. Rising requirement in food packaging applications and growing demand for water and wastewater treatment are among the critical factors attributed to the North America hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market expansion.
Hydrogen peroxide is used as a disinfectant for cardboard, polyethylene, and polyethylene terephthalate packaging in direct contact with food and beverages. It is an environment-friendly disinfection product suited for application in the food industry. Filling the beverages in the beverage cartons disinfected with hydrogen peroxide offers extended shelf life to the unrefrigerated product without the need for additional preservatives. For carton packaging, the disinfection of aseptic packaging is achieved using hydrogen peroxide with two application systems: immersion bath technology and spraying technology. In the food industry, hydrogen peroxide is used in clean-in-place and food contact surface cleaning. For instance, the value of processed food exports from the US reached a record US$ 13.9 billion in 2021, up 11% from the previous year.
