Rising Health Consciousness Among Masses Propelling Market Growth

The increasing awareness about the benefits of maintaining self-hygiene and hand washing is propelling the growth of the hand sanitizer market in Australia. In addition, the rising occurrence of various hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) among the masses is augmenting the growth of the market. Apart from this, the shifting consumer preference towards convenient and effective hygiene products is catalyzing the demand for hand sanitizers in the country. Additionally, the increasing number of advertisements promoting the benefits of using hand sanitizers regularly is supporting the growth of the market.

What is Hand Sanitizer?

A hand sanitizer is an antiseptic solution that is applied to the hands to kill disease-causing pathogens present on the skin. It comprises alcohol, water, fragrances, polyacrylates, artificial or natural colors, and emollients to soothe and moisturize the skin and prevent dryness caused by the alcohol. It is commonly available in the form of foams, gels, sprays, and liquid-based variants. It is also manufactured in alcohol-free variants, which contain glycerin, antimicrobial agents, thickening agents, and disinfectants, such as benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and triclosan. It is primarily adopted as an alternative to handwashes and soaps for maintaining cleanliness and preventing the transmission of viruses and bacteria from one individual to another. It instantly denatures the proteins and destroys the lipid-based coating of the viruses and bacteria to prevent the spread of infectious pathogens. It helps prevent the occurrence of stomach infections, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting caused by pathogens. Furthermore, as it is effective in reducing the wastage of water, paper towels, and soaps, the demand for hand sanitizer is increasing in Australia.

COVID-19 Impact:

The impact of COVID-19 on the hand sanitizer market in Australia has a positive impact, spurring immensely. To avoid the transmission of the virus and as a precautionary measure, hand sanitizers have come across as an effective solution. In addition, recommendations by Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to use hand sanitizers before touching the nose, eyes, and mouth or eating have resulted in the escalating the demand for hand sanitizers in Australia. Apart from this, the panic buying tendencies in consumers catalyzed the demand for hand sanitizers. The procurement process in Australia faced fewer challenges during the initial phases of the pandemic, along with low supply disruptions. The availability of raw materials, such as ethanol, ethyl alcohol, and extra neutral alcohol, which are necessary ingredients in hand sanitizers, was increased by the Australian Government, which bolstered the growth of the market. Furthermore, to keep up with the increasing demand, key market players have increased their production rates, and various distilleries have shifted their production away from spirits to hand sanitizers.

Australia Hand Sanitizer Market Trends:

At present, the increasing demand for hand sanitizers, as they are available in convenient packaging and can easily fit into pockets and bags, represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively in Australia. Besides this, the rising occurrence of various infectious diseases caused by novel viruses is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, governing agencies in the country are encouraging the usage of hand sanitizers to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of pathogens. Apart from this, the wide availability of hand sanitizers infused with aloe vera gel and in various refreshing fragrances is contributing to the growth of the market in Australia. Additionally, key market players are introducing natural and organic sanitizers and sanitizer wipes to diversify their product portfolio.
