Clarification: Im assuming you're talking about hand sanitiser here (there are other varities of sanitisers like surface etc)
Assuming we are talk liquid sanitisers here not UV based etc.
Assuming we are talk about this from the perspective of Covid or otherwise in BAU state
US population : 330 mil
Liquid used per application - 2 ml per use
Cost of sanitiser - 80% regular + 20% premium
Regular sanitiser = $10 per L
Premium Sanitiser = $20 per L
Blended cost of $12 per L
Assuming an avg life span of 80 year
You can break down sanitiser users basis frequency of usage
User type | % share | Frequency | Population | Example |
Don't use | 3% | - | - | Babies |
Use infrequently | 10% | 1.5 | 330 | Elderly folks who aren't stepping out |
Use regularly | 80% | 2.5 | 330 | Children/adults sanitising post contact with external surfaces/people |
Power users | 7% | 5 | 330 | hospital, staff, delivery person |
above totals up to 825 Million ML daily, which at 12$ per L with a 10% wastage factor(10% of bottle doesnt get used/thrown) is about 10.9 Million dollar, multiply it by 365 which is 4000 million approx so 4 billion dollars
Considering Covid really shot up usage (the above trends represent that) in 2020 then we should discount the 2 months when covid wasn't around - it approx be 16% of total however people would still be using sanitiser but lower frequency, so let's discount by 8%.
Which is approx 3.68 billion
