Market segmentation can be made according to the type of product it deals with, whether gel-based, foam-based, spray-based, etc. Gel-based sanitizers have the biggest market share, as they are found everywhere and are simple to operate, and are very familiar to the consumer. Due to their fast absorption, non-drip properties, and disposable formats, foam-based and spray forms are catching on, especially in business and commercial, and travel-friendly versions.

Alcohol-based sanitizers control the market and are known to have high effectiveness in killing germs and viruses, especially those advised by the World Health Organization.

The market is segmented by channels of distribution, namely, supermarkets/hypermarkets, pharmacies/drugstores, online retail, and others. Supermarkets and hypermarkets still serve as important sales centers because they come in bulk and attract lower prices, and pharmacies meet the requirement of trust and association with health products. Digital channels are growing their share incredibly fast, and convenience, expanded range of available products, and delivery on a subscription basis are contributing factors.

The end-users served by the market include household consumers, hospitals and healthcare centers, and corporate and industrial consumers, among others. Households also form a big part of consumption owing to daily personal hygiene. Sanitizers are used in infection control measures in hospitals and clinics, workplace safety in the corporate and industrial sectors, and government regulations.

The market can then be enhanced by the strict hygiene policies, increased disposable income, and distribution channels in the developed and emerging markets. There is constant product development, the appearance of skin-conditioning sanitizers, environmentally friendly packaging, and multifunctional germ protection products.

North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa are some of the geographical segments of the market. The largest market is acquired in North America, which is based on the high awareness, retailing strength, and product innovation.
