The increasing vaccine production is notably driving the alcohol wipes market growth. Vaccines prevent infectious diseases such as diphtheria, hepatitis B, and measles. The lack of awareness about vaccinations and the limitations in vaccine production, especially in developing regions such as Africa and South America, is increasing the number of medical fatalities. However, in the recent past, there has been an increase in the production of vaccines due to the increasing awareness about the importance of immunization. The increasing awareness about vaccination, the growing investments by companies, and the increasing prevalence of diseases boost the production of vaccines.
Further, the global capacity to produce vaccines for an influenza pandemic has increased over the last two to three years due to the spread of pandemic viruses. The success of the early implementation of automated systems in the research process has increased their adoption of vaccine production. The vaccines are applied using injections. Alcohol prep pads are used to disinfect the skin prior to injections in order to prevent bacterial infections. Alcohol is a good disinfectant and kills bacteria when applied to the skin. Hence, the increased use of alcohol prep pads before all vaccine injections facilitates increased sales of these products. Hence, the growing demand for vaccinations will increase the demand for alcohol prep pads, thus, driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The increasing availability of online retailers is a major trend in the market.
