Hand sanitizer kills pathogens present on the hands and diminishes transmission of germs also from one person to another. Moreover, the demand for hand sanitizers has increased worldwide as they help fight against the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Market Statistics:

The Global Hand Sanitizer Market is estimated to account for US$ 2,741.3 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2022.

Drivers:

Increasing awareness regarding sanitation and personal hygiene is expected to augment growth of the global hand sanitizer market over the forecast period. For instance, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends using hand sanitizer as a way to avoid getting sick. Due to the sudden rise in COVID-19 cases, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended regular practice of self-prevention and hand washing using hand sanitizer. The United States based hand sanitizer producer, Purell invested about US$ 400 million into manufacturing units to meet the increase in demand. In April 2020, Vegamour launched its own hand sanitizer that exceeds the CDC standards for hand hygiene.

Opportunities:

Outbreak of COVID-19 (global pandemic) is expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players in the global hand sanitizer market. For instance, as coronavirus (COVID-19) cases increased worldwide, hand sanitizer demand increased. In April 2020, Zydus Group firm Zydus Wellness forayed into hand sanitizer category with the launch of its product under 'Nycil' brand in the country to meet the rising demand due to COVID-19 outbreak. Nycil sanitizer consists of neem and aloevera extracts that helps kill 99.9 per cent germs, Zydus Wellness said.

Restraints:

Reducing consumer preference for hand sanitizers and availability of unlabelled and unlicensed bottles of hand sanitizers are some major factors expected to hamper growth of the global hand sanitizer market. For instance, several companies are providing hand sanitizers at lower prices with unregulated or adulterated contents, especially in developing countries. As a result, several hand sanitizer-related accidents were reported worldwide. This has led to a lack of consumer trust in the effectiveness of hand sanitizers, which in turn had a severe impact on the demand for hand sanitizers, especially in developing countries.
