Report Description

Hand Sanitizers Market Outlook

The global hand sanitizers market size was valued at USD 6.50 Billion in 2022 and is likely reach to USD 11.55 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 6.6%. during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing awareness about personal hygiene and initiatives and campaigns of the government to promote personal hygiene practices.

Hand sanitizer, commonly known as hand rub, is an antibacterial chemical used to kill infectious disease-causing bacteria that are stuck on the hands. Hand sanitizer is an antibacterial solution that is used instead of soap and water.

It is used to prevent the spread of infection, which is primarily transmitted by hand and leads to a variety of disorders such as nosocomial food-borne illness and others. Consumer preference for health and wellbeing, as well as product innovation such as the use of fragrances in sanitizer formulations, is expected to drive the global hand sanitizer market.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities:

Consumers are now aware of the necessity of hand cleanliness in preventing the spread of infectious diseases, which is anticipated to augment the market growth.
Many government agencies are exploring, developing, and adopting effective hand washing behavior change programs for COVID-19. As a result, demand for handwash is expected to rise during the forecast period.
Addition of various substances for the production of anti-aging skin sanitizing lotions such as glycerin, propylene glycol, water, and others produce a key solution for skin aging problems and promotes the expansion of the hand sanitizer market.
Demand for personal care accessories is increasing, due to expansion of infrastructure institutions such as schools and colleges, hospitals, hotels and restaurants, and residential facilities.
Expansion of the market is anticipated to be hampered, due to increasing number of cases of skin cleansers with synthetic ingredients causing negative effects.
Wide availability of different products such as soaps, shampoos, and oils resulted in a drop in sales income from various hand cleansing products such as sanitizers and washers, decreasing product demand.

Based on distribution channels, the global hand sanitizers market is segregated into hypermarkets & supermarkets, pharmaceutical and drug stores, convenience stores, and e-commerce.

The hypermarkets & supermarkets segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, due to the availability of a large choice of handwashing products from numerous brands in a single store, as well as the discounts and deals offered by these stores on large orders.

On the basis of end-users, the market is segregated into healthcare, hospitality, residential, corporate, government & military, and education. The healthcare segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market during the forecast period, as hand sanitizers are becoming increasingly important in hospitals and clinics to maintain a hygienic environment.

Furthermore, increased health concerns among doctors and other hospital and clinic workers creates a steady demand for various hygiene products.
