MARKET OUTLOOK
Triton's report on the disinfectant sprays and wipes market in the Middle East and Africa states that the industry will grow with a CAGR of 5.18% in the forecast period 2019-2028. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey, South Korea, and Rest of MEA together comprise the market in this region.
According to an article, Turkey witnessed an increase of more than tenfolds in the exports of disinfectant products in the first four months of 2020. This is attributable to the growth in demand for these products amid the Coronavirus pandemic. Plast Grup, an R&D firm based in the country, developed a disinfectant device from a shower system it had developed for hotel use. Thus, disinfectant products have gained immense importance in the country in this period, owing to their use for killing pathogens. Their growing adoption is favoring the growth of the country’s disinfectant sprays and wipes market over the forecast period.
In Saudi Arabia, the increased availability of disinfectants via online and offline distribution channels is expected to augment the overall sales of these products in the market. The growth of the online market is attributable to the growing number of e-commerce sites, such as Souq.com, Larir.com, Mawdoo3.com, and Amazon, which offer a wide range of products. These companies also offer doorstep delivery as well as numerous discounts, which is increasing the adoption of disinfectant sprays and wipes. This, in turn, is leading to the growth of the studied market in the KSA over the forecasting period.
