Demand for Hand Soap Accelerates on Back of Hand Hygiene Directives | Reckitt Benckiser, Unilever

Globally, the coronavirus pandemic has generated a decline in the growth of the personal care industry. However, in the case of hand soap stocks, growing consumer preference for products with low risk of contamination, is helping to sustain demand. Further, panic buying behavior has substantially bolstered demand. Hand hygiene directives by regulatory bodies will keep up demand in the foreseeable future.

Growth in the sales of personal hygiene products and the development of specialized formulations for various skin types are anticipated to generate key opportunities according to a recent report by Fact.MR. The global hand soap market will witness strong growth in the coming years by marketing and branding efforts through the different media channels.

"Leading FMCG manufacturers have set up dedicated initiatives to handle the covid-19 outbreak, by minimizing the costs of their offerings. In addition, manufacturers are also creating hand soap donation programs for low income sections of society, who are susceptible to the epidemic," says the Fact.MR report.

COVID-19 Impact on Hand Soap Market

The coronavirus, like the flu, and common cold is primarily spread via contact with infected droplets. Consequently, regulatory bodies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended the washing of hands with soap and water. This trend will help in the expansion of the hand soap market for the foreseeable future.

In addition, consumers have been stockpiling hand sanitizer products, which has led to a gnawing supply demand gap and is creating shortages. Consequently, the demand for hand soap is expected to grow rapidly as a feasible alternative. Commercial, healthcare and household hand soap applications will continue to grow steadily even after the pandemic subsides.

Competitive Landscape

Manufacturers are working on the development of new products to gain an advantage over the competition. Henkel, Reckitt Benckiser, Johnson & Johnson, and Unilever are some of the leading hand soap producers in the global market.

For instance, SoaPen is a rapidly proliferating hand washing solution for young children. The product can be used by children to draw. Whilst removing the drawing in water, children rub their hands and can be completely germ-free after 20-30 seconds.

On similar lines is the toy soap that is a colorful, attractive formulation with toy animals and figurines inside thus providing children with an incentive to wash their hands.
