Global Market Development Trends:
Following the pandemic, global attention to hand hygiene has shifted from an "emergency need" to a "long-term habit." Continuous high-frequency use in settings such as homes, schools, office buildings, and transportation hubs is driving the upgrade of hand sanitizer from a basic cleaning product to an "everyday protective item." The strong demand for compliant disinfectant hand sanitizers in the medical, elderly care, and food industries will form a stable base market for growth.
Future products will shift from a single focus on "bacterial killing rate" to a comprehensive performance emphasizing "gentle + effective + skin care." Products with non-alcoholic antibacterial systems, low-irritation formulas, and added moisturizing and repairing ingredients will see increased market share. Simultaneously, water-saving and high-performance formulations such as foam and sensor-activated dispensers will be favored in public and commercial markets, driving product differentiation and price increases.
Stricter regulations on disinfectant products in various countries and higher compliance thresholds will benefit leading brands and companies with strong R&D capabilities, allowing them to expand their market share. Meanwhile, e-commerce, cross-border channels, and centralized B2B procurement are accelerating market penetration, driving the globalization of regional brands. Overall, the industry will show a trend of "stable growth, increased concentration, and higher-end functionality."
