Global threats in the past, such as SARS, outbreak of flu and bioterrorism have
further exemplified the need, and importance of hand hygiene in preventing the
spread of infections. All these factors have contributed to increasing use of
hand sanitizers in non-traditional settings such as schools, colleges,
corporates, restaurants, fast food chains and food processing plants, thereby
marking the expansion of the market.



Hand sanitizers hold the potential to merge into the mainstream market in the
coming years, buoyed by the 'healthy adoption rates and ongoing research and
developmental activities. These developments are expected to bring in
sophisticated products with superior effectiveness against transmission of many
fatal and infectious diseases. Growth in the consumer market gained momentum
when three leading U.S. agencies recommended use of alcohol-based hand
sanitizers in personal and institutional settings. Agencies including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Association for Infection
Control and Epidemiology, and the Department of Health and Human Services,
advocate use of hand sanitizers to prevent cold and flu.
