Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for oxidizing agents for applications in water treatment and spa and laundry 
industries is a factor aiding in growth of the global potassium peroxymonosulfate market over the
forecast period (2018-2025). The advantages of potassium peroxymonosulfate such as absence of 
chlorine and efficient oxidation, to produce clear and sparkling water in swimming pools is 
driving the market growth. In addition to this, it is used as a sanitizer in treatment of spa and 
swimming pools to oxidized organic contamination.
Rising paper recycling trend due to increasing awareness regarding eco-friendly paper is expected 
to positively impact growth of the potassium peroxymonosulfate market. This is owing to use of 
potassium peroymonosulfate in paper re-pulping and as recycled fiber additives. According to the 
American Forest and Paper Association, in 2016, around 90% of the manufacturers in the U.S. 
used recycled paper for manufacturing of tissue products, which led to high demand for 
potassium peroxymonosulfate.
A major restraining factor for growth of the market is availability of alternatives such as 
chloramine B, chlorine dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, potassium 
peroxymonosulfate powder is more expensive than chlorine-based shock products and this is 
expected to negatively affect growth of the market.
Market Outlook
•Powder form segment held a significant market share in the potassium peroxymonosulfate
market across the globe in 2017, due to rising demand for it from the pharmaceutical 
industry. Potassium peroxymonosulfate is used for the treatment of low blood level of 
potassium in diseases such as diarrhea, vomiting, and adrenal gland disorders. For 
instance, in 2017, World Health Organization (WHO) stated that globally, 1.7 billion cases 
of childhood diarrhoeal disease are reported every year.
•Potassium peroxymonosulfate has high application in the textile industry. Potassium 
peroxymonosulfate is used as oxidizing agent in the production of wool goods and 
provides low shrink resist performance for wool bleaching. Therefore, textile segment is 
expected to exhibit high growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the 
India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in 2017, total textile market of India was valued at
US$ 150 billion and which is expected to increase to US$ 250 billion market in 2019 with
CAGR of 13.58 % during forecast period (2018-2025).
•Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing potassium peroxymonosulfate market during the forecast
period, due to rising demand for it in water treatment. Rising prevalence of water-borne 
diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea in the region is a major factor for growth 
of the market. For instance, in 2016, around 1, 32,121 cases of cholera and over 2,420 
deaths were reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) globally and Asia Pacific 
reported 13% of total number of cases. Furthermore, swimming pool water contains 
dissolved pollutants such as sweat, urine, and other excretion products of swimmers, 
which plays major role in spreading of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea. 
Thus, disinfection is responsible for preventing wide spread of such diseases. It is used as 
oxygen releasing agents in low temperature, bleaching agents in detergents formulations, 
and aquaculture. Therefore, the market is expected to exhibit high growth over the 
forecast period.
