The global alcohol free disinfectant wipes market size was USD 2.03 billion in 2024 and the market is projected to touch USD 3.6 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

Wipes for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces without the use of alcohol are called alcohol-free disinfectant wipes.

Numerous germs and viruses can be eliminated by using these chemicals.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Underlying Condition Upgraded the Market Growth
