The global hand sanitizer market has seen a surge in demand due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Hand sanitizers contain alcohol, mainly ethanol or isopropyl alcohol, and an emollient to moisturize the skin. They are effective against bacteria and viruses present on the hands and help prevent the spread of illnesses. With greater awareness about hygiene and government recommendations to use hand sanitizers regularly, the market has witnessed significant growth in sales over the past two years.
Market Dynamics:
The hand sanitizer market is driven by rising health consciousness among consumers and growing concerns regarding hygiene. The COVID-19 outbreak has boosted the demand considerably as hand sanitizers are one of the recommended personal hygiene products for prevention. Mandatory use of sanitizers in public places like malls, restaurants, workplaces, etc. has further propelled the market growth. However, availability of substitute products like antibacterial soaps poses a threat to long-term growth prospects. Nevertheless, innovations in formulations with moisturizers or advanced technologies are expanding opportunities.
