The increasing consciousness about environmental issues prompted some consumers to look for hand sanitizers with eco-friendly packaging, refillable options, or formulations that use natural and sustainable components.Furthermore, since the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol-based sanitizers have been witnessing tremendous demand in the region.

Moreover, uncertain environmental conditions, such as moisture and heavy rain, are expected to impact the quality of skin care products and restrain their demand.The availability of alternative products can restrain the growth of the hand sanitizer market. Traditional handwashing with soap and water is considered more effective in removing dirt, grease, and certain types of germs than hand sanitizers.
  
  In settings where soap and water are readily available, some consumers may prefer to use soap and water instead of hand sanitizers. Additionally, there are other hand hygiene products, such as hand wipes and sanitizing sprays, that offer similar germ-killing benefits as hand sanitizers and compete for market share. Moreover, the use of hand sanitizers is not suitable for all situations, such as when hands are visibly dirty or greasy, further limiting its applicability. As a result, the availability of these alternative products can act as a restraint on the growth of the hand sanitizer market.
