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.
