ALCOHOL FREE DISINFECTANT WIPES MARKET OVERVIEW

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. These wipes are frequently used in places where alcohol-based products are not appropriate or desirable, such as sites with sensitive electronics, facilities for children, or locations with stringent alcohol laws. These wipes often employ different disinfection chemicals to kill bacteria and germs instead of alcohol. Various chemicals, such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), hydrogen peroxide, or citric acid, are frequently found as active components in alcohol-free disinfection wipes. Numerous germs and viruses can be eliminated by using these chemicals.

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Underlying Condition Upgraded the Market Growth

In response to the COVID-19 epidemic, governments all around the world are issuing advice to persuade people to use disinfection tools.
