Customer preferences:

Consumers are becoming more conscious of the ingredients used in hand sanitizers and are opting for products that are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the potential health risks associated with certain chemical ingredients.Another trend in the market is the increasing availability of hand sanitizers in various formats and sizes. Manufacturers are introducing innovative packaging designs and travel-friendly sizes to cater to the diverse needs of consumers. This trend is fueled by the rising demand for portable hand sanitizers that can be easily carried in pockets, purses, or backpacks.

Local special circumstances:
Nigeria has a large population and is experiencing rapid urbanization, leading to increased demand for hand sanitizers. Urban areas, in particular, have a higher concentration of people and are more prone to the spread of infectious diseases. As a result, there is a greater need for hand sanitizers to maintain proper hand hygiene and prevent the transmission of germs.
