Market Overview

Market Research Future (MRFR) asserts that the Global Bleaching Chemicals Market size is projected to grow at a sturdy CAGR during the forecast period (2016 to 2022). Bleaching Chemicals are oxidizing and reducing agents used in various applications such as cosmetic & personal care, textile industry, household industry, food additive, pulp bleaching, water treatment, carpet industries, epidemic control, and aquaculture. This is exemplified by sodium hypochlorite, a chemical compound most widely used in chlorine bleach. The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest users of bleaching agents, using it to remove the color of the pulp. Adoption of bleaching agents for cosmetic and medical purposes can further boost the growth of the Global Bleaching Chemicals Market. Increasing demand for bleaching agents for water treatment solutions supports the growth of the market globally. Growing demand for water treatment also propels the market growth worldwide. In the healthcare sector, hydrogen peroxide is the most common bleaching agent.

However, health issues related to bleaching agents such as damage to skin, and eyes can potentially restrain the growth of the market. But on the other hand, stiff competition between the organized and unorganized sector can lead to greater innovation in the Bleaching Chemicals Market.
