The demand for hygiene and sanitation products has skyrocketed in recent years, primarily fueled by increased health awareness and evolving consumer lifestyles. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated this trend, triggering widespread adoption of disinfectant wipes for personal and surface hygiene. As people continue prioritizing cleanliness, wipes have become an essential part of daily routines, used in homes, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and public spaces. Consumers now expect multi-functional, high-quality wipes that cater to both convenience and effectiveness.

The market is experiencing notable growth due to a surge in demand for sustainable and skin-friendly formulations. Brands are responding with eco-conscious innovations, such as biodegradable materials and chemical-free options, appealing to the rising number of environmentally aware buyers. Additionally, advancements in manufacturing technologies have improved the durability and efficiency of wipes, making them indispensable across multiple industries. The expanding e-commerce landscape is also playing a crucial role in market expansion, with online platforms making wipes more accessible to a global audience.

The wipes industry is categorized into wet wipes and dry wipes. In 2024, the dry wipes segment accounted for USD 13.6 billion in revenue. The increasing preference for dry wipes stems from their versatility and practicality, eliminating the need for multiple cleaning products. They are widely utilized in medical environments for patient care, surface sanitation, and equipment cleaning. Households are also embracing dry wipes as an all-in-one solution for quick and effective cleaning. As the demand for non-toxic and fragrance-free options rises, manufacturers are introducing hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested variants to cater to sensitive users.

By application, the wipes market is segmented into personal care, household and home cleaning, and industrial wipes. Personal care wipes dominated the market in 2024, holding a 46.1% share. The segment continues to thrive as urban consumers with busy lifestyles seek convenient hygiene solutions. Facial wipes, baby wipes, and body wipes are particularly popular, with brands incorporating organic and natural ingredients to align with growing consumer preference for skin-friendly and non-irritating products. Enhanced product formulations with added vitamins and moisturizing agents further drive adoption, reinforcing wipes as an integral part of daily skincare routines.

The U.S. wipes market was valued at USD 5.4 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6% through 2034.
