According to the recent report by IMARC Group, titled “Hand Sanitizer Market Report by Product Form (Gel, Liquid, Spray, Foam, and Others), Product Type (Alcohol-based, Non-alcohol based), Distribution Channel (B2B, Retail), End Use (Hospitals, Households, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Restaurants, Government/Utilities (Except Educational Institutes), Schools and Educational Institutes, Enterprise and Commercial Facilities, Recreational and Entertainment Centers, Agriculture, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global hand sanitizer market size reached USD 5.0 Billion in 2024. Hand sanitizer refers to a gel, foam, or liquid antiseptic formulation that is applied to disinfect hands. It contains isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and other ingredients like thickening agents and fragrances. It may also include humectants that preserve the natural oil on the skin and maintain the moisture. The application of hand sanitizer helps in killing disease-causing germs and viruses, thereby preventing their transmission and averting diseases. They have gained traction in recent years as they are convenient to use and time-efficient than washing hands with soap. Nowadays, hand sanitizers are available in user-friendly packaging formats like pocket-size squeeze bottles, tubes, sprays, and pumps.
Global Hand Sanitizer Market Trends:
One of the major growth-inducing factors for the market is the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at the beginning of 2020 across the globe. Due to their convenience and effectiveness, the sales of hand sanitizers witnessed a sudden surge. Moreover, several workplaces, markets, schools, healthcare clinics and hospitals increased the usage of sanitizers to improve overall hygiene. This led to the shortage of hand sanitizers in most countries, thereby creating pressure on the manufacturers. As a result, several governments implemented favorable initiatives to meet the supply-demand gap. For instance, the Government of India fixed the prices of sanitizes and confirmed its equitable distribution. Furthermore, several manufacturers are introducing touchless and smart dispensers and focusing on the production of natural and environment-friendly product variants, which, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach a value of USD 3.5 Billion by 2033.
