In 2018, under the type segment, the alcoholic segment accounted for the largest share in the global hand sanitizer market. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers typically contain some combination of isopropyl alcohol, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), or n-propanol. This type of hand sanitizer is generally more effective at killing microorganisms and better tolerated than soap and water. Products that contain from 60% to 95% alcohol are most effective. Hand sanitizer with alcohol works against a variety of microorganisms but not spores. Some products contain compounds such as glycerol to prevent drying of the skin. Since the 1980s, alcohol-based hand sanitizer has been commonly used in Europe. The alcohol-based hand sanitizer is on the list of the World Health Organization's Essential Medicines, as the safest and most effective medicines needed to protect health from germs. For health care organizations like hospitals and clinics, optimum alcohol concentration to kill bacteria is 70% to 95%. Hand sanitizers with alcohol concentrations as low as 40% are available in American stores, according to researchers at East Tennessee State University. In the United States, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) controls anti-microbial hand soaps and sanitizers as the over-the-counter drugs (OTC) because they are intended for topical anti-microbial use to prevent disease in humans.
