Hydroperoxides are a class of organic or inorganic compounds containing the –OOH (peroxide) functional group, formed primarily through the oxidation of hydrocarbons, alcohols, or ethers, and are highly reactive intermediates widely used as initiators, oxidizing agents, and intermediates in chemical synthesis. In the supply chain, upstream feedstocks include basic petrochemicals (e.g., alkanes, aromatics, and alcohols) and oxygen or air; hydroperoxides are typically produced via controlled autoxidation processes (such as the oxidation of cumene to cumene hydroperoxide or isobutane to tert-butyl hydroperoxide). Midstream processing involves stabilization, purification, and safe handling due to their thermal instability and decomposition risk. Downstream, hydroperoxides are used in the production of phenol and acetone (via the cumene process), polymerization initiators for plastics and rubber, epoxidation reactions (e.g., propylene oxide production), and specialty chemical synthesis. Key end-user sectors include petrochemicals, plastics and polymers, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and chemical intermediates manufacturing. In 2025, global Hydroperoxide output was about 2.5 million tons with 3.2 million tons of capacity, average prices of USD 900–1,700 per ton, and gross margins around 22%.

Global key Hydroperoxide players cover Evonik (Germany), Solvay (Belgium), Arkema (France), BASF (Germany), Nouryon (Netherlands), etc.
