    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Southeast Asia are becoming more conscious about personal hygiene and health, which has led to an increased demand for hand sanitizers. The convenience and effectiveness of hand sanitizers in killing germs and bacteria have made them a preferred choice for many consumers. Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has further heightened the importance of hand hygiene, leading to a surge in the demand for hand sanitizers across the region.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in Southeast Asia is the growing popularity of natural and organic hand sanitizers. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that are free from harsh chemicals and are more environmentally friendly. This trend is driven by the rising awareness about the potential harmful effects of chemical-based products on the skin and the environment. As a result, many pharmacies in Southeast Asia are offering a wide range of natural and organic hand sanitizers to cater to this demand.

Moreover, the affordability of hand sanitizers in Southeast Asia is another factor driving the market.

In conclusion, the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in Southeast Asia is witnessing growth due to changing customer preferences, increasing awareness about hygiene and health, and the availability of a wide range of products.
