Global Orthoperiodic Acid and Metaperiodic Acid Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Orthoperiodic Acid and Metaperiodic Acid market size is predicted to grow from US$ 61.4 million in 2025 to US$ 82.8 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Periodic acid is the highest oxoacid of iodine, in which the iodine exists in oxidation state +7. It can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6, and metaperiodic acid, which has the formula HIO4.

The world's main iodine producers are based in Chile, Japan, and the United States. Iodine is also produced in Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and China.

Iodine is produced in Chile using a unique mineral known as caliche ore, whereas in Japan, the United States, Russia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Indonesia, producers extract iodine from underground brines that are mainly obtained together with the extraction of natural gas and petroleum. In China, iodine is extracted from seaweed.

Periodic acid is a moderately strong oxidizing agent and the highest oxo acid of iodine (in which iodine exists in the +7 oxidation state). Like all periodates, it can exist in two forms: orthoperiodic acid, with the chemical formula H5IO6 and metaperiodic acid with the formula HIO4. In diluted solution, periodic acid exists in the form of H+ and IO4- ions. In higher concentrations, orthoperiodic acid, H5IO6, is formed. The latter can be obtained in crystalline form. Orthoperiodic acid can be dehydrated to metaperiodic acid, HIO4. Further heating leads to the formation of diiodine pentoxide (I2O5) and oxygen.

Periodic acid has a wide range of applications in many fields, such as printing chemicals, electronic chemicals, process chemicals, life science reagents, etc. The demand for periodic acid in these fields is growing, which has driven the development of the market.
