Competitive Landscape

Key Players to Launch Products Targeted for COVID-19

The demand for hand sanitizers has experienced an astronomical rise in the past couple of months as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. This has spurred Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies to develop hygiene products tailored to fight the spread of the pandemic and also comply with WHO guidelines.

List of Key Companies Profiled in Hand Sanitizer Market Report are:

  • SC Johnson & Son, Inc. (U.S.)
  • Best Sanitizer Inc. (U.S.)
  • Bacardi Limited (Bermuda)
  • Himalaya Global Holdings Ltd. (India)
  • Gojo Industry Inc. (U.S.)
  • Proctor & Gamble (U.S.)
  • CVS Health (U.S.)
  • Unilever Plc. (U.K.)
  • Henkel AG & Company (Germany)
  • Reckitt Benckiser (U.K.)

Market Opportunity

Rapid Spread of the Coronavirus Pandemic to Accelerate Market Growth

The hand sanitizer market growth has received a major booster shot by the unprecedented rate of spread of COVID-19 worldwide, which has shifted the global focus towards basic hygiene and sanitation practices. Hand sanitizers are believed to play a central role in bolstering such practices because the COVID-19 infection is lethal and is known to primarily spreading through human-to-human contact. Since hands are generally the first point of contact between two or more people, hand hygiene has become a vital tool in fighting this infection.

The importance of these sanitizers in the current scenario is further augmented by the absence of effective treatment options and vaccines against the coronavirus. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been vociferously promoting the use of alcohol-based hand cleansers, especially for frontline healthcare workers. While frequent washing of hands using soap and water for 20 seconds is effective, they may not always be available and in such cases, these sanitizers can function as an efficient alternative.

Regional Analysis

North America to Hold Commanding Position in the Market; Europe to Grow at a Considerable Rate

With a market size of USD 464.51 million in 2018, North America is well-positioned to dominate the hand sanitizer market share in the coming years. Rising awareness among the people regarding personal hygiene, currently fueled by the COVID-19 outbreak, will drive the market in 2020. Moreover, the US now has the highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world, which has heightened the need for following standard personal hygiene practices.

In Europe, the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged the continent and has generated tremendous demand for hand sanitizers in the region. The market in Asia-Pacific is expected to showcase fastest growth on account of escalating demand for enhanced skin and other personal care products in India and China. Furthermore, programs initiated by local governments in India for fostering hygiene awareness at the school level will bode well for this market in the long-run.

Industry Developments:

  • April 2020: The Zydus-owned talc brand, Nycil, forayed into this sanitizer business by introducing its own hand sanitizer product to cater to the skyrocketing demand for hand cleansers during the coronavirus outbreak. The focus of the company will remain on germ protection for the entire family and the product will be an expansion of the company's Heinz portfolio.
  • March 2020: Himachal Pradesh-based CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (CSIR-IHBT) engineered a novel hand sanitizer, comprising of alcohol, active tea ingredients, and natural flavors.
