Analyst Opinion

The global Hand Sanitizer market is experiencing enormous growth due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It has witnessed a growth of around 500% in 2020.

The rising awareness of hygiene measures as well as the requirements of a better self-protection from the infection chain of COVID-19 are expected to boost the market growth during the pandemic period. The relief of the lockdown restrictions, such as the reopening of offices and commercial locations, is further driving the market growth, as hand sanitizers offer a simple and cost-effective solution to prevent the transmission in daily contact.

The market growth is estimated to drop back to its pre-COVID level at a CAGR of around 4% after 2022.
