Introduction

Global Bleaching Agent Market (USD Million), 2021 - 2031

In the year 2024, the Global Bleaching Agent Market was valued at USD 775.87 million. The size of this market is expected to increase to USD 1,143.71 million by the year 2031, while growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.7%.

The global bleaching agent market has experienced robust growth over the past decade, driven by the increasing demand for products in various industries such as pulp and paper, textiles, construction, and water treatment. Bleaching agents are chemical compounds used to remove color, whiten, or sanitize materials, playing a crucial role in numerous manufacturing processes. The market comprises diverse product types, including chlorine, sodium, calcium, peroxide, and others, each offering unique properties and applications. Chlorine-based bleaching agents dominate the market due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency in large-scale applications. Meanwhile, peroxide-based agents have gained traction for their eco-friendly and safer chemical profile, aligning with growing environmental awareness and stringent regulatory norms.

One of the primary factors driving the bleaching agent market is the rising demand for high-quality pulp and paper products, particularly in the packaging and tissue paper sectors. The increasing global focus on hygiene and sanitation has further spurred the consumption of bleaching agents in the healthcare and household cleaning industries. In textiles, bleaching agents enhance fabric whiteness and brightness, contributing to the sector's growth. Additionally, the construction industry's adoption of bleaching agents for concrete and building materials has further diversified the market’s scope.
