Hand Sanitizer Market Projected to Stand at a Valuation of US$ 1.4 Bn in 2020

Rising consumer inclination towards personal hygiene is driving demand for hand sanitizers amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. While outbreak driven lockdowns and stay-at-home orders initially led to panic buying and stockpiling of hand sanitizer and other hygiene products in Q1 2020, shortages and price hike were the latter repercussions. A new Fact.MR report projects a strong growth outlook for hand sanitizer market, with 1.9X expansion in revenues over 2020 – 2030. Governments are exploring alternative avenues for meeting ever-rising production requirements.

“With demand for clinical hand hygiene products soaring at an incredible pace, it compels manufacturers to ramp up their production levels. However, continued shortages of isopropyl alcohol, supply chain disruptions, and lack of active labors remain key challenges facing manufacturers amid the pandemic,” says the study.

Impact of COVID-19 on Hand Sanitizer Market

With most countries either in complete or partial lockdown due to COVID-19, consumers have started to panic buy hand sanitizer stocks as a preventive measure. Consequently, hand sanitizers witnessed a major spike in demand in offline and online sales during the first quarter of 2020. On the other hand, the shortage of raw materials and soaring costs of chemicals are influencing the market. Disruptions in supply chains have caused an upheaval in demand and supply of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, as manufacturers struggle to procure adequate packaging materials and chemicals, a trend that would continue in near term.
