High production costs associated with hydrogen peroxide production are a major restraint for market growth. The manufacturing process of hydrogen peroxide involves high capital investment and energy consumption, leading to elevated production costs. This factor hinders market growth as higher costs are often passed on to consumers, limiting the adoption of hydrogen peroxide-based products.
Regulatory restrictions and safety concerns related to the handling and storage of hydrogen peroxide are another major restraint for the market. Hydrogen peroxide is a highly reactive compound that can pose health and safety risks if not handled properly. Stringent regulations regarding the transportation, storage, and disposal of hydrogen peroxide can create challenges for market players, hindering market expansion.
