GLOBAL PROFESSIONAL HYGIENE MARKET SEGMENTATION
This research report includes a detailed segmentation of the following segments:
- Product
- End-user
- Distribution
- Geography
INSIGHTS BY PRODUCT
The increasing demand and application of toilet papers in urban areas are boosting the growth of the segment. An increase in disposable incomes, an improvement in travel frequency, and an increase in dining out are leading to growth in demand. The application of toilet papers is more dependent on population growth, especially in developed markets with high per capita consumption. As toilet papers are made from recyclable papers, several environmental protection groups are encouraging their usage. However, one of the major constraints for the toilet paper market is volatility in pulp prices.
The tissues and napkins segment is expected to reach over $40 billion by 2025. A key factor responsible for tissue paper demand is the ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and low penetration of tissue paper alternatives worldwide. Also, the growth in women's workforce has led to a rise in tissue paper products, which would further improve the category of tissue papers and napkins in the professional hygiene industry. The growing health spends and changing customer lifestyles would fuel the growth of the tissue paper industry. Paper hand towels, dispensers, hand washes, hand sanitizers, and wiping products are other major categories that are likely to contribute to the professional hygiene market's growth.
INSIGHTS BY END-USER
The commercial spaces' end-user segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 10% during the period 2019¬2025. Commercial properties, which constitute retail spaces and large venues, are likely to aid in the growth of the professional hygiene market. Over 80% of infectious diseases are transmitted by touch.

The rise in chemical warfare threats has boosted the demand for professional sanitation solutions such as wipes, disinfects, and hand sanitizers in government offices worldwide.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is expected to cast a serious and long-lasting impact on the hospitality industry. Post the pandemic, one of the major challenges for hotels will be sanitization and hygiene. The hotel and tourism segment is expected to re-invent hygiene protocols and take sanitation steps along with re-defined SOPs to prevent the spread of the virus. However, other segments, including corporate spaces, education institutes, industrial bodies, and facility management and contract services, are other major segments, which are witnessing an increase in the application of professional hygiene products.
