Increasing incidence of cholera and food poisoning in South Africa is expected to positively impact the market, as such diseases are mainly caused due to lack of maintenance of proper hygiene. For instance, according to UNICEF, in 2017, around 109,442 cholera cases were reported, leading to 1,708 deaths in 12 countries in the Eastern and Southern Africa Region (ESAR).

Cholera is mainly caused due to unhygienic conditions, as the bacteria causing the disease mainly grows in such conditions. Thus, usage of proper antiseptic handwash and solutions for domestic purposes and in hospitals may reduce the spread of such diseases. Hence, the demand for antiseptics and disinfectants is expected to grow considerably over the forecast period, leading to market growth.
