Global Market Overview


The global ammonium persulfate market was valued at approximately USD 500 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% between 2024 and 2029.


Key Drivers:

  • Growth in semiconductor and PCB production

  • Increased demand for radical polymerization initiators

  • Expansion of hair bleaching and cosmetic formulations

  • Regulatory push for eco-friendly oxidizing agents





Regional Supply and Trade Outlook


Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, India)

  • Largest producer and exporter of APS globally

  • China accounts for over 60% of global production

  • Key manufacturers: United Initiators, Yatai Electrochemistry, Fujian Zhanhua


North America

  • High demand from electronics and polymer industries

  • Limited local production; imports from China and Europe dominate


Europe

  • Steady demand from cosmetics, packaging, and water treatment

  • Growing focus on REACH-compliant APS suppliers




Key Industrial Applications Driving Demand


  1. Polymerization Initiator
    APS is extensively used as a free-radical initiator in the production of:

    • Acrylic resins

    • Emulsion polymers

    • Polyacrylamides

  2. Etching Agent in Electronics

    • Used in printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication

    • Replacing more hazardous etchants like ferric chloride

  3. Hair Bleaching & Cosmetics

    • Primary oxidizer in hair bleach powders

    • Preferred for controlled lightening with minimal odor

  4. Water and Wastewater Treatment

    • Breaks down persistent organic contaminants

    • Supports advanced oxidation processes (AOPs)




Ammonium Persulfate Price Trends

Average global price (2023–2025 forecast):

  • USD 1,500 – 2,300 per metric ton, depending on purity, origin, and packaging

Influencing Factors:

  • Raw material costs: Ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid

  • Energy prices in production countries

  • Export regulations and supply chain disruptions

  • Purity and grade (e.g., 98% technical vs. ultra-pure for semiconductors)




Major Producers and Supply Landscape

Top Global Manufacturers:

  • United Initiators (Germany/China)

  • Fujian Zhanhua (China)

  • PeroxyChem (Evonik) (USA)

  • VR Persulfates (India)

  • Hebei Yatai (China)


Product Grades:

  • Technical grade: 98% min

  • Ultra-pure grade: Used in electronics and semiconductors

  • Cosmetic/pharmaceutical grade: Low heavy metal content, high solubility




Forecast: What to Expect in 2025 and Beyond

  1. Demand Growth in Electronics

    • 5G and IoT expansion → more PCBs → more APS use

    • Semiconductors moving to ultra-pure APS

  2. Cosmetics & Haircare Industry Boom

    • More demand for gentle, effective oxidizers

    • Shift to non-toxic bleaching alternatives

  3. Sustainability and Regulation Impact

    • REACH, EPA, and global environmental laws push for cleaner etchants

    • APS seen as environmentally safer alternative

  4. Supply Diversification

    • Manufacturers investing in India, Southeast Asia

    • Reducing overreliance on China




Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Q1: What purity levels are available for ammonium persulfate?


✔️ Most common: 98% technical grade. High-end applications may require 99.5%+ ultra-pure APS.


Q2: Is ammonium persulfate hazardous?


✔️ Yes. APS is a strong oxidizer and should be handled with PPE. Always follow SDS guidelines.


Q3: Can APS replace other oxidizing agents?


✔️ In many cases, yes — especially where low odor, lower toxicity, and clean reactivity are preferred.
