The Race is on in Hand Sanitizers

A little followed battle is breaking out in the $250 million a year hand sanitizer market place. And we could be wrong about the US market size, it might be as much as $500 million when considering the institutional market.

The battle heating up is about a new technology that could displace the primary ingredient used in 99% of all hand sanitizers...we're talking about the alcohol. The base ingridient in Purell Germx and Ecolab products. These 3 brands own 75% of the marketplace.

Whoever can crack this space will very likely become soapopular.
