Technavio analysts highlight the following three market drivers that are contributing to the growth of the global sanitizer market:

  • Increase in hygiene consciousness
  • Rise in outbreak of diseases
  • Greater variety of sanitizers

Increase in hygiene consciousness

According to the CDC, one of the important ways to avoid the transmission of dangerous diseases is to regularly wash hands with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer is recommended when there is a lack of soap and water. It contains at least 60% alcohol or contains a persistent antiseptic, which kills many kinds of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis bacteria. According to research, hand sanitizing is more effective against fighting the common cold than hand washing.

Similarly, it is important to properly clean and sanitize food contact surfaces since they can become contaminated with microorganisms during use, which can be harmful if transferred to food. The younger generation and the people with higher income are becoming more aware and have a positive perception of the benefits provided by sanitizers.

Rise in outbreak of diseases

Food-borne diseases, also known as food-borne illnesses, constitute a common public health problem. There are more than 250 different types of food-borne diseases, which include infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The microbe or toxin enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract and often causes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Globally, more than 40% children between five to 10 years of age carry the burden of food-borne diseases. Diarrheal diseases are the most common illnesses resulting from the consumption of contaminated food. Also, there has been an outbreak of diseases such as Swine flu and Ebola in the recent past.

“Thus, the increase in the outbreak of such types of diseases in the past has led to people being more careful toward health and hygiene,” says Amber.

Greater variety of sanitizers

Today, there are various sanitizers available in the market. There are both alcohol-based and alcohol-free hand sanitizers in the market. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels claim to wipe out 99.9% of most common germs within 15 seconds. They are powered by 60% grain-based ethanol and a renewable natural resource, which leaves hands feeling clean and refreshed without the strong smell of perfume or alcohol. On the other hand, alcohol-free sanitizers do not dry out hands, since they do not strip away the oils in the skin, thus retaining moisture and becoming popular among nurses. They are also fragrance-free, making them a preferable option for users who do not want the odor of hand sanitizer on their hands.
