According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are expected to dominate the Russian hand sanitizer market, accounting for the largest share by 2031. These sanitizers, primarily containing ethanol or isopropanol, are preferred for their high effectiveness in eliminating germs and viruses.

Consumers prefer purchasing sanitizers from retail stores due to the immediate availability and the ability to verify product authenticity before purchase. Pharmacies, in particular, play a crucial role in distributing medical-grade hand sanitizers to healthcare institutions and the general public.
The healthcare sector is expected to be the largest end-user segment, driven by stringent hygiene protocols in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. The demand for hand sanitizers in healthcare settings has surged due to regulations mandating frequent hand hygiene to prevent infections. With healthcare facilities adopting strict sanitation measures and increasing patient inflow, the use of hand sanitizers in this sector will remain high.
