Impact of Covid-19 on Antimicrobial Car Care Products Market

Posted by Future Market Insights on November 23rd, 2020

The continuing COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a substantial effect in the near future on the demand-side pattern of antimicrobial car care products. In order to remain safe from deadly viral infections, the pandemic emphasized the importance of preserving hygienic and sanitized conditions. Over the next decade, this increased awareness would expand the use of antimicrobial automotive care products.

Due to growing cases of nosocomial infections and outbreaks of life-threatening diseases as well as the avoidance of such diseases, increasing knowledge among consumers regarding hygiene and health is set to propel market growth of antimicrobial car care products during the forecast period.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has almost crippled physical distribution of antimicrobial car care products, market players are actively shifting towards online sales channels to preserve their business. While offline channels will remain traditional sales medium, due to the pandemic, short-term impact is opening the way for online sales channels. In addition, at discounted rates, players are selling antimicrobial car care products to improve their consumer base.

There are typically loose guidelines for routine cleaning in the automotive industry. Microbes infect them when exposed surfaces come into contact with microbes, and they double every 20 minutes. In addition, interaction with nutrition sources, such as moisture, may further increase microbe growth.

As these microbes begin to multiply on surfaces, there can be stains and odor, leading to premature deterioration of the substance and requiring early replacement. Therefore in car care technologies, antimicrobial products are considered important.

Due to the growing shift to water-based solvents, customer understanding of vehicle maintenance, and inflating automotive fleet, the demand for antimicrobial car care products is experiencing a growth spurt. Future Market Insights projects given the strong presence of leading automotive manufacturers in various regions and customer proactivity in hygiene-related concerns, Europe and North America qualify for a leading share in the market for antimicrobial car care products.
