Due to the lockdowns in many nations and the disrupted global supply chain during COVID-19, hand dryer sales dropped. Many businesses at the time claimed they experienced a decline in the number of hand dryers sold due to weak demand in the first two quarters of 2020, but in the second half of the year, the hand dryer industry began growing at a sustained rate. Post-COVID the hand dryer market is expected to grow at a faster rate due to increasing concern of hand hygiene and rise in hospitality sector.

Increasing urbanization will fuel market expansion.

The increasing opportunities and developments in infrastructure worldwide are directly influencing the high demand for hand dryers.

Increasing demand for energy efficient products

The evolution of products and technology that are energy efficient, environment friendly, and pollutant-free has become more of a focus in the 21st century. In comparison to conventional hand dryers, jet air hand dryers are more energy-efficient, using up to 85% less energy. For e.g. The new "No Heat" technology from XLERATOReco dries hands in 9 seconds while consuming only 500 watts, making it one of the eco-friendly automatic hand dryers in the world with minimal carbon emissions. It enables less energy consumption and establishes new industry benchmark for green innovation and sustainability. As a result, these actions favor energy-saving technology and initiatives to reduce paper use, boosting the global hand dryer market.

The increasing product innovation will fuel market expansion

With the capacity to quickly and effectively dry hands, hand dryers have become an innovative technology in all restrooms. High-speed commercial Hand Dryers have replaced traditional hand dryers. Focused innovation resulting in the creation of jet dryer products has led to numerous new products. For e.g., In Dyson Airblade hand dryers, air from restrooms is filtered through HEPA filters that capture 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. Therefore, cleaner air is used to dry hands instead of impure air.
