High Demand for Disinfectants amid COVID-19 Pandemic to Affect Growth Positively
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly expanded the consumer goods industry backed by the rising concerns of hygiene, health, and cleanliness.

Coupled with this, the rising demand for hand sanitizers is likely to aid growth of the market for liquid bleach amid the pandemic.
Drivers & Restraints-
Increasing Trend of Bleaching Clothes at Home to Enhance Fashion Sense will Aid Growth
The rising trend of home bleaching clothes to improve one’s fashion sense and enhance the outer appearance would augment the sodium hypochlorite market growth in the near future. Coupled with this, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for disinfecting surgical instruments, hard surfaces, and wipes to prevent transmission. However, fumes produced by sodium hypochlorite can damage the lungs and cause gas poisoning, thereby limiting its demand.
