    Customer preferences:
    Customers in the Baltics are increasingly prioritizing hygiene and cleanliness, leading to a higher demand for hand sanitizers. This shift in preferences can be attributed to a growing awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases. Additionally, the convenience and portability of hand sanitizers make them a preferred choice for customers, especially when they are on the go.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in the Baltics is the increasing popularity of natural and organic hand sanitizers.

This trend is driven by a desire for safer and more sustainable options. Pharmacies are responding to this demand by stocking a wider range of natural and organic hand sanitizers to cater to their customers' preferences. Another trend in the market is the rising demand for hand sanitizers with moisturizing properties. Frequent use of hand sanitizers can lead to dryness and irritation, and customers are seeking products that not only kill germs but also keep their hands moisturized. Pharmacies are introducing hand sanitizers with added moisturizing ingredients such as aloe vera and glycerin to meet this demand.

    Local special circumstances:
    The Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in the Baltics is also influenced by local special circumstances. One such circumstance is the region's cold climate.

Firstly, the increasing disposable income of the population has made hand sanitizers more affordable and accessible to a larger segment of the market. As people have more money to spend, they are willing to invest in personal care products that promote health and well-being. Secondly, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the market. The heightened awareness of hygiene and the need for hand sanitizers to prevent the spread of the virus has led to a surge in demand.

In conclusion, the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in the Baltics is experiencing growth driven by changing customer preferences, including the demand for natural and moisturizing hand sanitizers.
