Gone are the days when a splash of tepid water could be passed off as handwashing. With our anxiety levels heightened by the prospect of giant Covid fuzzballs hurtling towards us at every turn, scrubbing hands and homes has become a national pastime.
So it’s unsurprising that sales of antibacterial hand sanitisers have soared more than 900%, catapulting the value of the category from less than £12m a year ago to £120.5m today [Nielsen 52 w/e 26 December 2020].
Hand wipe sales similarly rocketed 232% to £18.5m, according to Kantar, which also recorded sales of liquid soap (including hand sanitisers) more than doubling year on year to £338.1m [52 w/e 27 December 2020]. As Kantar analyst Tom Hole puts it: “It’s almost as if hygiene has experienced the same growth as tech giants and it’s easy to see why.” And in this environment, both new and established brands stand to clean up in the long term.

Amid widespread shifts in the art fair calendar due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) has announced it will permanently reschedule its annual edition of The Art Show from February to November. The forthcoming edition of the fair will be held at the Park Avenue Armory from 3-7 November.
Anthony Meier, the vice president of the ADAA and chair of the fair’s committee, tells
The Art Newspaper that organisers are “optimistic” that the fall rescheduling will offer “promising conditions” as logistical challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic hopefully begin to ease. “We have also found that ADAA members are enthusiastic about this new time slot for the long-term,” he adds.
