Vaccines against COVID-19 will take some steam out of the market for hygiene products, but demand will remain above pre-pandemic levels as frequent hand-cleaning is here to stay, an executive at Ecolab, a leading firm in the sector, said on Thursday.

Ecolab has supplied Oxford’s vaccine-makers, supermarkets such as Tesco and England’s National Health Service with products during the pandemic this year, and supplies three million commercial sites globally.

But with two COVID-19 vaccines on course for possible approval in Britain before the end of the year, that demand will be tempered. “For hand hygiene, we think that still the market will be 30% to 50% higher than it used to be. But of course, where we currently see an explosion of ... five to ten times more - that will normalise.”

The World Health Organization says the coronavirus can be spread via surfaces though the main route is through droplets.
