The demand for hand sanitizers rose due to the increasing prevalence of infectious and contagious diseases such as COVID-19, SARS, H1N1, and avian flu. The product was gaining popularity in the region allowing consumers to clean and disinfect their hands without using water.
The spread of coronavirus was more prominent in Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Iran, as compared to the African region. Therefore, the demand for hand sanitizers was higher in those countries.
Marss , a Saudi Arabia-based personal care company, reported the sale of around 100,000 bottles of hand sanitizers in a week in March 2020. The company extended its work schedule to meet the surge in product demand.
