The introduction of fragrance-based hand sanitizers is one of the major factors responsible for the growth of the global hand sanitizer market. Vendors have started investing in developing fragrant variants of hand cleansers. This innovation has offered positive dividends and has boosted the market growth. The market is also witnessing an influx of bio-based or organic ingredients in hygiene products in several countries. People are getting aware of the ill-effects of chemical-based hand rubs. Therefore, they are displaying a keen interest in purchasing organic or chemical-free hand gels.

The rise in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and the outbreak of pandemics such as COVID-19 have influenced the growth. The market landscape of hand hygiene products has drastically changed since the outbreak of COVID-19. The average market demand across the globe is likely to witness a phenomenal rise of over 600% during 2020. The increasing demand for sanitizing solutions along with preventive recommendations by WHO is expected to fuel the market growth. However, the YOY analysis suggests that the spike is not likely to exist for more than two years provided the outbreak is controlled in the upcoming months.

The following factors are likely to contribute to the growth of the hand sanitizer market during the forecast period:
• Increasing Influence of Internet in Shaping End-users’ Purchasing Behavior
• Growing Demand for Flavored & Organic Hand Sanitizers
• Growth in Promotional Activities
• Rise in Health Consciousness among Consumers

The study considers the present scenario of the hand sanitizer market and its market dynamics for the period 2019?2025. It covers a detailed overview of several market growth enablers, restraints, and trends. The study offers both the demand and supply aspect of the market. It profiles and examines leading companies and other prominent ones operating in the market.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS BY FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS
Alcohol-based sanitizers are the major contributors to the global hand sanitizer market. In 2019, this segment constituted almost 86% of the hand sanitizer market share in terms of revenue.. The market demand for such sanitizers is driven by their ability to prevent infections and kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The segment is segmented into subsegments – ethyl and isopropyl. The ethyl-based sanitizer segment has witnessed tremendous growth since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth opportunities can be attributed to the fact that these sanitizers are 40% more effective against viruses than normal sanitizers. The global ethyl alcohol-based hand sanitizer market is likely to reach 91 million gallons by 2025. The segment is growing at a CAGR of over 16% during the period 2019?2025.

Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol), also known as isopropanol or IPA, is the most widely applied sanitizing agent in pharma, hospitals, cleanrooms, and devices or surgical equipment. The market analysis indicates that the need for IPA has slowly risen owing to its use in hand sanitizers. Since the coronavirus infections has rapidly increased in the US and Europe, the sanitization products have become mandatory for healthcare practitioners. Moreover, the European IPA market is increasingly heating up, with producers such as INEOS and SEQENS prioritizing the supply of IPA-containing hand gels to hospitals and health centers. Thus, vendors can currently consider relocating their resources to boost the supply chain and distribution to capitalize on the demand.
