Disinfectant Wipes Market: Report Scope

Category Segment Analysis Preview

The demand for alcohol-based hand wipes will increase as shoppers discover new and more hygienic ways to decontaminate. Alcohol-free products were more common until recently, but after the COVID-19 epidemic, the sanitization trend has changed to alcohol-based products. Consumers are now aware of the value of using alcohol-based sanitizing wipes to decontaminate their hands as a result of increased public awareness campaigns. Disinfectant hand wipes containing alcohol are touted as powerful bacteria killers.

End Use Segment Analysis Preview

In 2020, the commercial end-use market accounted for 48.4 %. These products have industrial uses in hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, bars, offices, and other commercial environments. The hotel industry as a whole has benefited greatly from rising customer demand in recent years.

However, the worldwide lockout and partial closure of office spaces as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to have a negative impact on the commercial end-use segment's development in the coming years. Furthermore, increasing awareness of the advantages of working from home among the top commercial behemoths is likely to stifle segment development in the immediate future.
