Oxygen Scavengers Market To Reach $5,667.9 Million By 2033

Oxygen Scavengers Market Growth & Trends

The global oxygen scavengers market is projected to reach USD 5,667.9 million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2033, according to Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand from food & beverage packaging, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and industrial processing applications is likely to propel market growth. Rising consumption of packaged and shelf-stable foods, along with stricter quality, safety, and shelf-life requirements, is driving the adoption of oxygen scavenging solutions worldwide. Oxygen scavengers are widely used to remove residual oxygen, prevent oxidation, and protect product integrity across packaging, water treatment, oil & gas, and industrial systems. Ongoing investments in advanced formulation technologies, sustainable materials, and automated dosing and packaging infrastructure are strengthening long-term supply chains and enhancing market stability for manufacturers.

The organic oxygen scavengers segment accounted for a dominant revenue share of 58.2% in 2025 and is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period. Demand is driven by the high efficiency of organic scavengers in removing residual oxygen, along with their compatibility with food, pharmaceutical, packaging, water treatment, oil & gas, and industrial process applications. These solutions play a critical role in preventing oxidation, corrosion, and product degradation, supporting quality preservation and operational reliability. Rising emphasis on shelf-life extension, regulatory compliance, and sustainability initiatives is further accelerating global adoption.

The boiler and steam systems segment captured the largest revenue share of 26.6% in 2025 and is projected to maintain steady growth over the forecast period. Demand is driven by the need to prevent corrosion, scale formation, and oxygen-induced damage in high-temperature systems across power generation, industrial manufacturing, and district heating. Oxygen scavengers help improve system efficiency, extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and support compliance with stringent safety and operational standards.
