Europe Hand Wash COVID 19 Insights:

Liquid hand washings are usually preferred over soaps due to their simplicity of use and ability to keep natural moisture in the hands. Due to technological advances, research, and development that have led to new products like organic hand wash and sensitive skin hand wash, among others, liquid hand wash is a multimillion-dollar sector with continuing market potential. Personal hygiene products have become more popular as a result of the most recent coronavirus pandemic, driving the market growth.

 

Europe Hand Wash Market Dynamics:

Due to recent COVID-19 virus spread cases in the region, consumer perceptions about hand cleanliness and overall health are supposed to change, with Europe experiencing the quickest CAGR of 7.6 % from 2023 to 2029. Additionally, previously this area has been vulnerable to diseases like the H1N1 virus and bird influenza, which has considerably increased the demand for hand wash products.

 

Increasing the use of skin-safe products would positively impact the market. 

Hand wash solutions created from organic ingredients are widely available from many suppliers, keeping the hands smooth and soft. For instance, Dermalux natural hand washes from Crown are designed especially for dry and sensitive skin. As a result, market growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by the rising demand for skin-safe products.

 

Due to additional packaging and energy requirements, liquid hand wash is typically more expensive than bar soaps. Compared to conventional bar hand soaps, these goods require about five times as much energy to make and twenty times as much energy to pack. The cost of packaging hand washes is increased by the need for additional supplies like pump dispensers and bottles. But increasing consumer spending on cleanliness and sanitation will help the hand wash market grow.

 

Growing consumer awareness of the risks of chemical ingredients is probably going to hinder the market growth.

Alcohol is a key component of the majority of sanitizers. But it dries the skin and promotes bacterial growth. Additionally, triclosan or triclocarban, which are substances that destroy both harmful and beneficial bacteria, is an ingredient in hand wash products. The majority of hand hygiene products contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which can harm cell membranes and induce hair loss. The development of the hand wash market will be hindered by all of these factors during the forecast period.
