The global Sodium Peroxyborate market was valued at US$ 180 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% to reach US$ 240 million by 2030. This inorganic compound, primarily used as an oxidizing agent and bleaching component, continues witnessing steady demand across multiple industries despite environmental concerns about boron-based chemicals. The market growth trajectory reflects both established applications and emerging opportunities in water treatment and specialty detergents.
Sodium peroxyborate (NaBO₃·nH₂O) serves as an environmentally preferable alternative to chlorine-based bleaches in many applications. Its unique properties – including controlled oxygen release and stability in formulations – make it particularly valuable in industries requiring gentle yet effective oxidation. Recent regulatory shifts favoring sustainable chemistry in Europe and North America are creating new growth avenues, though Asia-Pacific remains the dominant production and consumption hub.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Asia-Pacific commands over 55% of global sodium peroxyborate production, with China and India leading both manufacturing and consumption. The region’s dominance stems from cost-competitive raw material availability and strong demand from textile processing and household cleaning sectors. Meanwhile, North America shows above-average growth, driven by increased adoption in pulp bleaching and specialty detergent formulations. European markets remain cautious due to strict REACH regulations, though pharmaceutical applications continue expanding.
Africa and Latin America represent emerging frontiers, where water treatment applications are gaining traction. Middle Eastern countries are investing in local production to reduce import dependence, particularly for oilfield applications where sodium peroxyborate serves as an oxygen scavenger. The global market remains relatively consolidated, with established chemical manufacturers controlling significant production capacities.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Three primary factors fuel market expansion: regulatory pressure to reduce chlorine-based chemicals, growing demand for eco-friendly bleaching agents, and widening applications in niche industrial processes. The textile industry accounts for approximately 38% of total consumption, followed by household detergents (29%) and pulp/paper applications (18%). Emerging opportunities exist in:
- Advanced wastewater treatment systems requiring controlled oxidation
- Specialty cleaning formulations for healthcare and food processing
- Agricultural applications as a soil treatment and disinfectant
Product innovation focuses on improved stability formulations and combination products with enhanced efficacy. The development of encapsulated sodium peroxyborate for timed-release applications represents a significant technological advancement with potential to open new markets.
Challenges & Restraints
While growth continues, several factors could constrain market potential:
- Environmental regulations limiting boron concentrations in wastewater
- Price volatility of key raw materials including borax and hydrogen peroxide
- Competition from alternative peroxygen compounds in certain applications
- Handling and storage challenges due to material sensitivity to moisture
Bans on boron compounds in consumer products within certain European countries present particular challenges, though industrial applications remain largely unaffected. The industry is responding with improved formulations that meet stricter environmental standards while maintaining performance characteristics.
