Under the epidemic situation, American disinfectants will continue to sell well!

The outbreak of the epidemic has changed people ’s consumption structure to a certain extent . It is understood that in the past two years, the sales of cleaning products in the United States, especially disinfectants, have continued to rise .

It is reported that in 2021 , American consumers' demand for household cleaning products such as disinfectants increased by 15% compared with 2019 before the epidemic . It seems that "daily disinfection work " has been deeply rooted in people's hearts during the epidemic .

Procter & Gamble said its cleaning products division's revenue soared 23% to $7.5 billion in 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2021 , its home care division also achieved single -digit sales growth in the U.S. market .

According to a survey of 1,000 adults by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 83% of respondents said they would frequently use cleaning products such as hand sanitizer, liquid or spray disinfectants in the next six months.

Data from Euromonitor International shows that at the end of 2021, 5.5% of household disinfectants in the United States were out of stock.

Previously, American shopping malls had experienced empty shelves and out-of-stock merchandise . The epidemic has caused a large shortage of staff in various positions in the United States, including transportation drivers, product production and packaging workers , etc. The shortage of goods in American shopping malls has also , to a certain extent, driven the continuous rise in prices of related products .

As we enter 2022, the epidemic situation in the United States remains grim. After the emergence of the Omicron strain, the number of infected people in the United States continues to increase. Against this background, cleaning products such as disinfectants will continue to be hot-selling products .

In addition , problems at US ports have continued, and recently a large number of workers at ports in the western United States have been quarantined due to the epidemic. Supply chain tension is still a very serious problem in the United States, and this may once again drive the continued rise in prices of cleaning products.

Industry analyst Erin Lash said that as the prices of cleaning supplies and shipping costs continue to rise, consumers may turn to some low-priced private brands to purchase related disinfection or cleaning products in the future.
