In recent times, the hand sanitiser market has witnessed a quantum leap in growth, propelled in bulk by the Corona virus outbreak that began in Wuhan, China in 2019. As the disease spreads in various regions across the globe, demand for clinical hand hygiene products such as hand soaps and hand sanitizers has gone up and the latter has become one of the most sought-after products today. Witnessing a surge in demand, the Indian government had pronounced hand sanitizers and masks as essential commodities in March 2020 to ensure steady availability and prevent the hoarding and black marketing of such products.

Major players operating in Indian hand sanitiser market are Reckitt Benckiser (India) Private Limited, ITC Limited, Dabur India Limited, Hindustan Unilever Limited, The Himalaya Drug Company, Pristine Care Products Private Limited, Wipro Consumer Care Limited, Colgate Palmolive (India) Limited, Godrej Consumer Products Limited, Herbal Strategi and others. Major market players are focusing on expanding their production capacity and are adopting innovative technologies in order to meet growing consumer demand. Increasing awareness among the consumers regarding hand hygiene for the prevention from contagious diseases is the key driver for the growth of global hand sanitizer market. In addition, improved standard of living, higher disposable income, support and promotional campaigns from organization such as WHO, FDA regarding hand sanitiser, changing lifestyle of people, aging population, convenience of cleansing hands without using water, availability of the product, increasing incidence of diseases are boosting the demand for hand sanitizer.
