Hydroalcoholic gels are disinfectant products that help prevent infection by attacking or deactivating microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria.
Hydroalcoholic gels contain three main components:alcohol, which is the active ingredient acting on microorganisms, a softener (to preserve skin hydration) and a gelling agent, which gives a less liquid texture for ease of application. It may also contain a fragrance, as the smell of alcohol is not very pleasant. [ Afise]
The global market for hydroalcoholic gels was estimated at $112.1 billion in 2020, and is forecast to grow at a CAGR (combined annual growth rate) of 7.29% between 2021 and 2025. The market's historic growth is explained by the improvement in people's hygiene and the legitimacy of hydroalcoholic products as an effective disinfection solution. In 2020, the market experienced exponential growth, which should benefit the sector in the long term.
The French market for hydroalcoholic gels is also growing, with a 60% increase in sales between 2012 and 2018. This growth is being driven in particular by the increasing hygiene of populations and the development of healthcare infrastructures and consumption, which is one of the sector's main outlets. The market has seen two peaks on different scales: one relatively moderate during the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) epidemic, and the other during the Covid-19 epidemic. The latter led to a 10-fold increase in consumption of hydroalcoholic products.
