    Customer preferences:
    Customers in Tanzania have shown a growing preference for hand sanitizers due to the increased awareness of the importance of hand hygiene in preventing the spread of diseases. This preference is driven by the convenience and effectiveness of hand sanitizers in killing germs and bacteria on the hands. Additionally, the affordability and availability of hand sanitizers in pharmacies have also contributed to their popularity among customers.

    Trends in the market:
    One of the key trends in the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in Tanzania is the increasing demand for alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are known to be more effective in killing germs and bacteria compared to non-alcohol-based alternatives. This trend is driven by the growing concern for personal hygiene and the need for effective sanitization solutions. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for alcohol-based hand sanitizers, as people are more conscious of the need to keep their hands clean and germ-free.

Furthermore, the growing urbanization and population density in cities like Dar es Salaam have also contributed to the higher demand for hand sanitizers in pharmacies.

In conclusion, the Hand Sanitizer (Pharmacies) market in Tanzania is witnessing significant growth due to customer preferences for convenient and effective hand hygiene solutions.
