Global Hand Care Market by Distribution Channel (Specialty Store, Online, Drugstore, Hypermarket & Supermarket), by Product Type (Hand Wash, Beauty Product, Sanitizer) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global hand care market was worth USD 12.4 billion in 2018. It is expected to grow at a 4.5% CAGR from 2019-2025. This market is driven by the increasing demand for hand hygiene, consumers' increased interest in health and wellness, as well as an increase in health spending.
Reckitt Benckiser Plc and Hindustan Unilever, among others, have initiated initiatives in India to promote hand hygiene. Dettol and Lifebuoy, two of the most popular handwash brands in India, aimed to remind around 100 million people to wash their hands before eating with innovative ideas. These examples are helping to accelerate the market's growth by educating the public about hygiene.
Market growth will be supported by initiatives taken by FDA and WHO to educate people about hand hygiene and the harmful diseases that can result from it. People are also exposed to information via social media and online channels about healthy and clean lifestyles. These factors improve living standards and increase health expenditures, which in turn increases the appeal of the global market.
Market growth can be hindered by health risks associated with chemical ingredients such as allergies. These issues can be addressed in the future, as companies focus on product innovation, such as organic ingredients, antibacterial properties, and the addition of soothing scents. This will help to boost the global market.
Insights on Product Types
Hand wash and hand sanitizer, which are essential products for hygiene, hold a greater share. Hand wash accounted for over 40% of the market and will continue to hold that position due to its basic hygiene feature and application in nearly every industry.
The highest projected CAGR for hand sanitizers is 4.8%. Because of its convenience and ease-of-use, this segment is growing in popularity. Manufacturers continue to focus on product development in order to make sanitizers more efficient and increase their market share. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sanitizers containing more than 60% alcohol are most effective.
Distribution Channel Insights
The largest market share in hand care was held by the hypermarket and supermarket distribution channels, which accounted for 39.2%. This channel is very popular because it offers the consumer the opportunity to scan the product before they buy, which influences their buying decision. It also allows them to choose from a variety of products and can be contacted by a store associate to help them select the right product.
However, the online market is expected to grow at a 4.9% CAGR over the forecast period. This market is driven by the rise in e-commerce penetration and smart devices such as tablets and mobile phones, and benefits such as easy payment options and discounts. Manufacturers are increasingly compelled to sell their products online to appeal to a wide consumer base by increasing demand for online shopping.
Regional Insights
The largest market share in 2018, at 35.0%, was held by Asia Pacific. North America came in second. The APAC market is buoyant due to the growth of skincare products in countries like China, Hong Kong and South Korea. India holds a significant share of the global hand wash market. This is due to its high use of this product in comparison to other sanitizers. The major growth of this product is due to consumers preferring liquid washes to sanitizers on an everyday basis. This contributes to the acceleration of the global market.
The fastest-growing regional market is Middle East and Africa, with a CAGR at 5.1% during the forecast period. This region is susceptible to H1N1 virus disease, avian flu and Ebola virus diseases, which increases the need for hand sanitizers. These diseases are also common in Africa, making hand hygiene a must.
