Increased demand for TBHP as a polymerization initiator is the key factor driving market growth. TBHP is primarily employed as a polymerization initiator in chemical synthesis and big chemical compound production operations. TBHP is a chain-growth polymerization initiator that is used in radical polymerization. When exposed to heat or light, it acts as an initiator in thermal polymerization and photopolymerization reactions. TBHP produces radicals or cations when utilized in the heat polymerization method.
In addition, TBHP, when used in a photopolymerization reaction, generates cations, anions, and free radicals. TBHP initiators are extensively used in chemical synthesis to produce chemical-based substances such as acrylic resins, dispersions, and acrylic coatings. Thus, the increased demand for TBHP as a polymerization initiator is expected to drive the growth of the global TBHP market during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for TBHP as a curing agent is one of the primary market trends shaping market growth. TBHP finds application as a curing agent in the production of certain polymers and resins, aiding in crosslinking reactions that solidify or cure these materials. The demand for these cured materials, such as coatings, adhesives, or composites, could impact the need for TBHP as a curing agent. The need for high-performance materials in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, and electronics fuels the demand for curing agents.
Furthermore, the consumer demand for products with improved performance and durability drives industries to seek curing agents that can enhance the quality and longevity of goods such as coatings, adhesives, and sealants used in consumer products. Therefore, growth in such end-use industries will drive the growth of the global TBHP market during the forecast period.
The availability of substitutes for TBHP is a challenge that affects market growth. Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, and ethyl peroxides are the substitutes available in the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) market. These substitutes are used as bleaching and disinfecting agents and in the production of chemical compounds. These substitutes are extensively used as curing agents and polymerization initiators for chemical synthesis.
Moreover, the above-mentioned substitutes have cost advantages and less production complexity. The economies of scale and the cost advantages of substitutes in the tert-butyl hydroperoxide market can significantly hinder the growth of the global TBHP market during the forecast period due to the ease of product substitution.
The market share growth by the polymerization initiator segment will be significant during the forecast period.A polymerization initiator is a substance that initiates the chemical bond formation between different monomeric units to form a polymeric compound. TBHP is used as a polymerization initiator in chemical synthesis. This segment is expected to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period.

The polymerization initiator segment accounted for USD 73.33 million in 2018. Initiators such as organic peroxides are widely used in the radical polymerization processes to regulate the initiation by heat or light. Thermal polymerization initiators are chemical substances that generate cations or radicals when exposed to heat. TBHP and similar organic peroxides initiate the polymerization reaction when exposed to heat. The quick and faster polymerization initiation by TBHP is a major factor driving the growth of the tert-butyl hydroperoxide market during the forecast period.
The TBA (Tert-Butyl Alcohol) hydroperoxide method is a chemical procedure used for the determination of unsaturated fatty acids in oils and fats. Tert-butyl alcohol reacts with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst, often a transition metal catalyst like molybdenum or tungsten, to form TBHP. With increasing awareness of the health impacts of different types of fats, this method aids in determining the composition of fatty acids in oils and fats. Furthermore, the increased demand for high-purity TBHP is a reflection of the evolving needs across industries for cleaner, more controlled chemical processes, which is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the segment as well as the tert-butyl hydroperoxide market during the forecast period.
