Hand sanitizer stands for a disinfecting solution that prevents orally transmitted infections. It is mostly available in the form of liquid, gel, spray, wipes, foam, etc. Since early 2020, hand sanitizers have been experiencing high demand in Italy due to the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Hand sanitizers are increasingly being used as a portable and convenient method for maintaining proper hand hygiene and minimizing the chances of disease transmission. Furthermore, the increasing focus on preventing coronavirus infections among several health professionals, essential service providers, etc., is also driving the market for hand sanitizers in the country.

Italy, being one of the world’s worst-affected nations by the COVID-19 pandemic, registered around 165,155 infected cases by the mid of April 2020. As a preventive approach, the Italian government is adopting several initiatives to create awareness towards maintaining personal hygiene and sanitation. Furthermore, the alarming number of deaths caused by COVID-19 has also triggered consumer’s concerns towards taking several precautions against disease contraction. Apart from this, the upsurge in the product demand has propelled the regional manufacturers to ramp up their production capacities. Additionally, the sudden rise in the usage of hand sanitizers has also led to an unexpected price hike and stock shortages across various distribution channels. Apart from this, the rising consumer concerns towards the negative health impact of chemical-based sanitizers have led to the growing popularity of organic products with natural extracts. Besides this, the changing preferences of the consumers have also catalyzed the launch of hand sanitizers with innovative fragrances, colorants, emulsifiers, etc.
