The pandemic has fundamentally changed public perceptions of hygiene. There is now a heightened awareness and concern about cleanliness and the prevention of disease transmission. This shift in mindset has had a lasting impact on consumer behavior, with many individuals continuing to use hand sanitizers regularly even as the immediate threat of COVID-19 has diminished.

This increased hygiene consciousness extends beyond just the fear of COVID-19. There is a broader understanding of how hand hygiene can prevent various illnesses, including the common cold, influenza, and gastrointestinal infections. This general health awareness has sustained the demand for hand sanitizers and will likely continue to do so in the foreseeable future.

Many manufacturers in the country have introduced products with added moisturizers and pleasant fragrances, ensuring that hand sanitizers are not only effective but also pleasant to use. There has been a rise in the availability of natural and organic hand sanitizers, catering to the growing segment of consumers who prefer eco-friendly and chemical-free products.
