Persulfates Market Segment Analysis – by Type 

The sodium segment held the significant Persulfates Market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The sodium persulfate decomposition to release oxygen and produce sodium pyrosulfate can occur slowly at room temperature, after heating, or quickly in ethanol. Thus, it is frequently employed in polymers as an oxidizing agent. Additionally, sodium persulfate is also used in the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs) as an etchant and cleaning agent. Also, potassium persulfate is less soluble and may cost more compared to sodium persulfate. Thus, due to the above-mentioned benefits of sodium persulfate, its adoption is increasing in various end-use industries, including polymers, electronics and more. This factor is accelerating the persulfates market growth. 

Persulfates Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry 

The electrical and electronics segment held a significant Persulfates Market share of more than 20% in 2021. Sodium persulfate is deployed in the electrical & electronics industry since it is an efficient microetchant in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. The surging technological advancements, expanding facilities related to electronics and more are key determinants for the growth of the electrical and electronics industry. For instance, according to Growth from Knowledge (GRK) in September 2021, in the first quarter of 2021, the value of the global consumer electronics market increased by 18% to US$42.8 billion. The increase in electronic production was the cause of this expansion. Hence, the surge in electronics production is expected to boost the demand for persulfates. This, in turn, will propel the market growth in the coming years. 

Persulfates Market Segment Analysis – by Geography 

Asia-Pacific is the dominating region as it held the largest Persulfates Market share in 2021 up to 35.5%. The sectoral growth of Asia-Pacific economies is been fueled by the growth of various industries such as electrical & electronics, polymers and more. Factors such as government policies aiding the electronics industry, emerging economies, technological advancement and more factors are vital to the electronics industry's growth in the Asia-Pacific. For instance, according to Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), in 2020, the total electronics production in Japan was ¥9,964,769 million (US$93,389.82 million) and in 2021, it was ¥10,954,346 million (US$99,772.18 million), an increase of 9.9%. Therefore, the growth of the electronics industry in Asia-Pacific is accelerating the demand for persulfates.

Persulfates Market Drivers 

Surging Wastewater Treatment Projects 

Persulfates are utilized in the water treatment industry for the treatment of a wide variety of impurities, such as halogenated olefins, perfluorinated chemicals, phenols, pharmaceuticals, inorganics and more. The surge in wastewater treatment projects at the global level is fueling the growth of the water treatment industry. For instance, the construction of the Philippines Aglipay Sewage Treatment Plant in Mandaluyong began in 2020. It will meet stringent national standards that go beyond EU requirements in terms of reducing negative effects on Manila Bay and the Pasig River, as well as its environmental footprint. The project is currently under development, with a completion date of early 2024. Furthermore, the construction work for the future development wastewater treatment project the "New Upper Thompson Sanitation District Wastewater Treatment Facility" will begin in the U.S by 2023. Such projects are fueling the demand for persulfates, thereby, driving market growth.
