Hand Sanitizer Market Dynamics

Driver: Rising number of COVID-19 cases across the globe

In late 2019, a new coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China, leading to a global pandemic. The U.S. has the highest number of cases and fatalities globally, with figures five times higher than other countries, according to Johns Hopkins University. Europe has been severely impacted, with the UK, Italy, France, and Spain experiencing significant outbreaks. In March, the virus spread rapidly across Europe. Recently, Russia’s infection rate has been increasing the fastest globally, with cases set to double every five days. There is growing concern for developing countries, which are just beginning to experience the rapid spread of COVID-19. These countries, often with large populations and limited resources, face significant challenges in managing the pandemic.

Driver: Increasing adoption of healthy lifestyle among consumers

Hand sanitizers, containing germ-killing alcohol, have become a global health staple. Their convenience, portability, and efficiency make them a preferred choice for maintaining hygiene. They’re now ubiquitous, found at entrances of hospitals, nursing homes, and public restrooms, contributing to a healthier lifestyle. Their presence in classrooms has even led to a 20% decrease in student absenteeism due to illness. Their use extends beyond healthcare facilities to restaurants, offices, schools, malls, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, and gyms. They’re also found in unique environments like cruise ships, casinos, and co-working spaces. The immediate and effective action of alcohol in sanitizers against bacteria and most viruses is a key factor in their widespread adoption. Research indicates that using hand sanitizers can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. As consumers worldwide continue to prioritize health, the demand for hand sanitizers is expected to remain high.

Restraint: Dryness caused due to repetitive use of hand sanitizers

While hand sanitizers are effective in killing germs, they can have some drawbacks. They can strip away the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and cracking. This not only causes discomfort, such as itching and redness, but also makes the skin more susceptible to infections. In severe cases, the skin may exhibit flaking, peeling, and deep cracks that may bleed. People with conditions like eczema, which can be triggered by excessive dryness, may experience flare-ups with frequent use of hand sanitizers. The skin’s protective mechanisms can be severely compromised, leading to further complications. Moreover, hand sanitizers contain high concentrations of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol. If accidentally ingested, these substances can lead to alcohol toxicity, and in extreme cases, alcohol poisoning. Therefore, while hand sanitizers are a convenient hygiene solution, they should be used judiciously and stored safely out of reach of children. It’s also important to supplement their use with regular handwashing and moisturizing to maintain skin health.
