The hand sanitizers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The hand sanitizers market has seen substantial growth in recent years. The market value is forecasted to rise from $4.45 billion in 2024 to $4.9 billion in 2025, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
This historic growth is likely due to factors such as infectious disease outbreaks, the healthcare environment, the food industry, and increased public awareness.
The hand sanitizers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for hand sanitizers is predicted to expand rapidly in the forthcoming years, with an estimated worth of $8.25 billion by 2029. This equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%.
The projected growth in this period can be traced back to continued health worries, personal hygiene behaviors, the fields of travel and hospitality, and the demand for green and sustainable items. Expected trends for this forecasted period involve antimicrobial resistance (amr), personalized hand sanitizers, hands-free dispensers, and hand sanitizers that are natural and organic.
The surge in the sanitizer market was primarily driven by the advent of the coronavirus pandemic. The crucial role of hygiene in safeguarding against the virus and maintaining good health has notably increased the global demand for sanitizers in the wake of COVID-19, which originated in China. These sanitizers, in particular, are known to be effective against the coronavirus. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advises the use of hand sanitizers composed of over 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol in healthcare scenarios as a preferred hygiene practice. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reports that there has been a significant increase in the number of manufacturers registering to cater to the escalating demand for sanitizers, with over 1,500 new registrations. Therefore, it can be expected that the sanitizer market will continue to expand in 2020 and in the following years, boosted by the COVID-19 crisis and increasing attention to hygiene matters.
