The industrial, institutional, and cleaning chemicals markets are anticipated to experience growth due to increasing health concerns related to recent COVID-19 outbreaks and the heightened focus on sanitation. Good health and sanitation, which denote physical and psychological well-being along with disease prevention, have become paramount. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant surge in the use of cleaning chemicals, especially in healthcare institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. This increase is attributed to higher cleaning frequencies, larger patient loads, and an emphasis on deep cleaning to protect vulnerable patients or residents. Notably, the World Health Organization reported an increase in safely managed sanitation services from 47% to 54% in 2021, with an anticipated rise to 67% by 2030. Thus, the upswing in health concerns and the heightened use of sanitation are key drivers for the industrial, institutional, and cleaning chemicals markets.
