The Middle East & Africa hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market size is expected to reach US$ 34.23 million by 2031 from US$ 24.27 million in 2023. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 4.4% from 2023 to 2031.
The Middle East & Africa market for hydrogen peroxide in disinfection and sterilization is witnessing steady growth, spurred by increasing awareness about hygiene and infection control across various sectors. In a region that faced diverse healthcare challenges, including the need for improved sanitization and disease prevention, hydrogen peroxide has emerged as a key disinfectant due to its efficacy in eliminating a wide spectrum of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The healthcare sector in countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa is a significant driver of the market for hydrogen peroxide in disinfection and sterilization. These nations have been investing in healthcare infrastructure, leading to high usage of hydrogen peroxide for sterilizing medical equipment, hospital surfaces, and other critical areas. The ongoing efforts to control healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals and clinics further contribute to the market growth. The water treatment industry in the Middle East & Africa also contributes to the rising demand for hydrogen peroxide. According to the World Resource Institute, the Middle East & North Africa are the most water-stressed regions, where 83% of the population is exposed to extremely high water stress. By 2050, water demand in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to skyrocket by 163%. As per the World Bank, the region's population grew from over 100 million in 1960 to more than 450 million in 2018. It is estimated to reach more than 720 million by 2050. In addition, by 2030, the water available per capita annually in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) will be lower than the absolute water scarcity threshold of 500 cubic meters per person per year. Hydrogen peroxide is utilized to disinfect drinking water and treat wastewater, which helps address the region's water scarcity and contamination challenges. As the demand for clean and safe water grows, particularly in water-stressed areas, hydrogen peroxide is being adopted to effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms without producing toxic by-products.
Middle East & Africa Hydrogen Peroxide for Disinfection and Sterilization Market Segmentation Analysis:
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market analysis are application.
The operational & examination surfaces in healthcare facilities can be contaminated with microbes, which implies that failure to maintain a clean environment can lead to a risk of infection among patients and staff. Contaminated endoscopes that have been used widely are linked to a significant cause of infection in tertiary healthcare systems. Hydrogen peroxide is utilized as a disinfectant and sterilant by direct application in the form of aqueous solution at 3 to 9% concentration range. Stringent regulations and requirements in the healthcare sector mandate the adherence to strict quality standards for sanitization processes used in the surface cleaning and sterilization of medical devices.
In March 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency finalized restrictions on a carcinogenic gas called ethylene oxide, which was used to sterilize most medical devices. Strict limits on the utilization of cancer-inducing chemicals in sterilizing medical and healthcare facilities boost the hydrogen peroxide market. Reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide as a disinfection and sterilization chemical. The CDC report on chemical disinfectants includes procedures for using hydrogen peroxide in the 0.05% concentration for a standard disinfecting cleaner and 7.5% concentration for 30 minutes at 20ºC as a high-level disinfectant. Thus, the rise in government regulations for establishing hydrogen peroxide as an effective sterilization technique in the healthcare industry is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market over the forecast period.
Based on country, the Middle East & Africa hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market comprises South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kenya, Morocco, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The Rest of Middle East & Africa held the largest share in 2023.
Egypt, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Iran, and Turkey are among the major countries in the Rest of Middle East & Africa hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization market. The growing initiative of wastewater treatment across the Rest of Middle East & Africa is significantly driving the demand for hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization. Turkey is focusing on expanding its wastewater treatment capability. The Ministry of Environment, Urban Planning and Climate Change, a government ministry office of the Republic of Turkey, announced in June 2022 that the country had reached a rate of 4.2% in the reuse of treated wastewater. Tanzania is also focusing on wastewater treatment activities. For instance, in August 2017, the Tanzanian government announced the Dar es Salaam sewage scheme, backed by the World Bank and other donors. The scheme involves installing wastewater treatment plants with the capacity to treat an average of 200,000 cubic meters of liquid waste a day across three areas in Tanzania. Hydrogen peroxide is increasingly used in wastewater treatment due to its ability to disinfect and neutralize contaminants effectively. Such initiatives to enhance wastewater treatment activities will further fuel the demand for hydrogen peroxide for disinfection and sterilization in the region during the forecast period.
