The global hand sanitizer market has seen a surge in demand due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

They are effective against bacteria and viruses present on the hands and help prevent the spread of illnesses. With greater awareness about hygiene and government recommendations to use hand sanitizers regularly, the market has witnessed significant growth in sales over the past two years.
Market Dynamics:
