Key Market Trends

Increased Attention toward Hand Hygiene due to Rising Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Cases

The global outbreak of coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic in March 2020 due to its rapid transmissibility, has majorly impacted consumer behavior and has led consumers to take more preventive measures regarding personal hygiene maintenance, especially hand hygiene. According to worldometer, As of March 4, 2021, the coronavirus had infected almost 116 million people globally, and the number of death had reached almost 2.6 million. The most severely affected countries include the U.S, India, Russia and UK.

Thus, the increasing number of deaths caused by the virus triggered an alarming response from consumers, with increased attention regarding hand hygiene as a preventive measure from contracting the infection. Moreover, the usage of hand sanitizers is recommended by the World Health Organization, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, and doctors worldwide, claiming that the use of alcohol-based hand rub is one of the most effective precautions observed against the virus. This factor is currently driving the market growth.

North America holds Largest Market Share

Owing to high awareness existing among consumers about hand hygiene regulatory authorities, like FDA and WHO, initiated awareness campaigns to support the usage of hand sanitizers in the North American region. Acknowledging the market potential, giant manufacturers in the United States are branching out to launch production lines for hand sanitizers, in order to supplement their segments' sales. Also, the local players in the country are introducing new products to fulfil the growing current demand, owing to the spread of COVID-19 across the region.

For instance, in March 2020, the vegan beauty brand, Sparitual, pledged to produce 75% alcohol-based hand sanitizers from its Los Angeles-based factory to help fight the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, due to high price sensitivity, a large number of private-label players are introducing hand sanitisers at lower prices, thereby gaining considerable market shares. Purell is one of the leading brands holding a significant amount of market share across the country.
