Gel-based Sanitizers to Dominate the Market – By Product Form 

According to Parth, Senior Research Analyst at 6Wresearch, Gel-based hand sanitizers are expected to rule the Japanese market because they work quickly, are easy to use, and can be used every day.  Solutions that don't stick and dry quickly are becoming more and more popular in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities.
