Global Hand Sanitizer Market to Reach US$ 1.8 Billion by 2024

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Hand Sanitizer Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global hand sanitizer market size reached US$ 1.1 Billion in 2018. Hand sanitizer is an antimicrobial agent that is applied to the hands to kill or permanently inactivate common pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. It has a self-drying formulation, owing to which it is often preferred by consumers over washing hands with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is composed of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, along with fragrances, water and glycerin. These ingredients help in retaining the natural oil and maintaining the moisture of the skin, as well as preventing the transmission of harmful microorganisms which can cause diseases. Owing to these benefits, hand sanitizers are gaining immense popularity across the globe.

Global Hand Sanitizer Market Trends:

Improving living standards and rising per capita incomes have encouraged consumers to shift toward health and wellness products, such as hand sanitizer, as opposed to traditional counterparts, including handwash or soap. Furthermore, based on the hand sanitizer market research, the demand for hand sanitizers is also being stimulated by several healthcare initiatives and awareness programs undertaken by governments and national health authorities of various countries. For instance, organizational initiatives such as First Global Patient Safety Challenge by World Health Organization (WHO) promotes ‘clean care is safer care’ to spread awareness about basic hand hygiene across the world. Moreover, evolving consumer preferences are prompting the manufacturers to introduce hand sanitizers infused with non-alcoholic and natural ingredients such as lemon, vegetable glycerin, aloe vera gel, and essential oils. Market players have also come up with innovative ready-to-use packagings such as tubes, pumps, sprays, and pocket-size squeeze bottles, which have made the product user-friendly. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 1.8 Billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 9% during 2019-2024.
