Oxygen Scavengers Market

Oxygen Scavengers Market Outlook (2022-2032)

Presently, worldwide sales of oxygen scavengers market account for US$ 2.2 billion and are anticipated to transcend a revenue valuation of US$ 3.6 billion by the end of 2032. Over the next ten years, the market for oxygen scavengers is estimated to exhibit expansion at 5% CAGR.

High demand for quality packaged foods and fresh foods is anticipated to be a prime factor driving oxygen scavenger consumption over the coming years. Moreover, the implementation of strict food safety mandates and focus on the reduction of food waste across the world are also expected to favour oxygen scavenger demand in the future.

Increasing urbanization, growing population, changing lifestyle habits, and shifting consumer preferences toward convenience foods are other factors that could indirectly influence market potential in the future.

High prevalence of chronic diseases has led to increased consumption of pharmaceuticals and this is expected to propel the use of oxygen scavengers in pharmaceutical packaging going forward. Flourishing chemical manufacturing activity across the world is also anticipated to benefit the overall demand for oxygen scavengers in the chemical industry through 2032.

Oxygen absorbers are also widely used in water treatment processes to remove dissolved oxygen. Steadily increasing use of oxygen scavengers for boiler water treatment is expected to open up new doors of opportunities for manufacturers of oxygen scavengers over the coming years.

The use of oxygen scavengers in the oil & gas industry is also expected to rise as they are being extensively used as corrosion inhibitors to prolong the life of their equipment while keeping the maintenance costs minimal and this is projected to benefit market development over the years to come.

Metallic oxygen scavengers currently dominate the global market and are expected to maintain a similar stance over the next ten years as well. Their dominance can be ascribed to their better efficiency as compared to non-metallic oxygen absorbers.

Growing advancements in the packaging industry and rising investments in research & development of novel packaging techniques are expected to open up new avenues for aspiring oxygen scavenger companies in the future.

• Researchers in Switzerland investigated the use of palladium-based oxygen scavengers to improve the shelf life of bakery products and found that the use of modified atmosphere packaging with oxygen scavengers could result in prolonged shelf life for bakery products. An extension of 3 to 4 days for bakery product shelf life was observed by the researchers.

On the flip side, prolonged exposure to carbohydrazide oxygen scavengers could potentially result in health risks such as irritation to the skin, dizziness, headaches, and elevated blood pressure, which could impede market growth in the long term. The non-volatile nature of O2 scavengers is expected to have a constraining effect on the use of oxygen scavengers in boilers as they dissolve and affect the conductivity of water.
