Concerns surrounding the transmission of COVID-19 have led to an increasingly sterilized society

LONDON, May 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The household care market saw its biggest annual growth increase between 2019 and 2020 in terms of volume and between 2020 and 2021 in terms of value. This is mostly due to the surge in demands for cleaning and sanitizing products brought about by the outbreak of COVID-19. In household care, it has become more important for products to prevent the spread of germs.

The media in recent years has encouraged consumer education about sustainability. Consumers demand a more comprehensive approach with an emphasis on tackling packaging and water waste in the household sector. Today, consumers no longer accept 'greenwashing' or vague messaging from brands because they are aware of how all stages of the supply chain are impacting the planet. Companies must look beyond basic claims and show that they are really trying to improve.
