Transparency Market Research in its new report titled, “Persulfates Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 – 2025,” provides key insights on the persulfates market. The TMR report anticipates that the expansion in the cosmetics and personal care industry will drive the persulfates market during the forecast period i.e, 2017-2025. Its use as a bleaching agent in paper and textile industries is also driving the market worldwide. Regulations play an important role in the persulfates market in developed regions, says the report.
The TMR report also asserts that persulfates are slightly irritating to the human skin at higher concentrations. They cause irritation to the human skin and the respiratory tract of occupationally exposed individuals. Therefore, their usage is regulated in developed countries such as the U.S.. The toxicity of potassium persulfates is mild, but continuous exposure to them can cause negative effects on human health. The adverse effects caused by exposure to potassium persulfates include cancer, issues related to one’s reproductive systems, etc. Sodium sulfate is a well-known substitute for potassium persulfate in few analytical processes due to the similar qualities that are seen in both compounds. Ammonium, potassium, and sodium persulfates are available commercially in crystalline material form. Ammonium persulfate is a strong oxidizing agent with a slight acrid odor. Under the cosmetics & personal care segment, ammonium, potassium, and sodium persulfates are used as oxidizing agents in hair colorants and lighteners. These persulfates are used as preservative agents in food and as initiators in polymerization reactions. They are also useful as a boosters in the stimulation of oil & gas wells.
In electronics, persulfates act as etching agents for zinc and printed circuit boards. They are also used as bleaching agents in cosmetic & personal care products and in the pulp & and paper and textile industries. Ammonium persulfate is used as a component of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous, fatty, and dry foods and in cellophane films. During the production of printed electrical circuits, a resist or mask e.g. copper, is laminated to a base over the surface of a metal film. Here, an etchant is used to treat this partially masked copper film. Ammonium persulfate is utilized as an ideal etchant because it does not generate fumes and is noncorrosive to certain materials. Potassium persulfate does not absorb moisture. Therefore, it can be easily stored for longer periods of time. Persulfates are used for the oxidative degradation of toxic substances or chemicals in wastewater, thereby making the process of water treatment easy.
From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific dominated the global persulfates market in 2017 owing to demand for this product from the electronics and chemical industries in this region. The persulfates market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR. In terms of market share, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be followed by Europe, North America, and Middle East & Africa. In Asia Pacific, China is projected to dominate the market due to its leading position in the electronics sector, in which ammonium persulfate is heavily used. Prominent companies operating in the global persulfates market are profiled in this report to give a better competitive analysis and these include Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, FMC Corporation, Asahi Denka Kogyo K.K., United Initiators GmbH, and VR Persulfatess Pvt. Ltd.
