Wipe means cleaning the surface by rubbing something on the surface. Wipes, also known as towels or towel wallets, or in certain circumstances wet wipes are small plastic or damp cloths that fold for comfort and are individually wrapped. Wet wipes are used for cleaning purposes, such as personal hygiene and household cleaning. 

Global Wipes Market Drivers:

The wipes are paper, tissue paper, or non-woven materials that are used to rub lightly or to remove dirt or liquids from the surface. Wipes are used to remove dust particles, and fluids and clean the surroundings. With the increase in the adoption of wipes in industrial and consumer applications, together with modernization and increased customer awareness, the demand for wipes is expected to increase significantly worldwide. Wipes meet requirements remarkably due to the convenience provided by many applications. For example, the use of household cleaning wipes gives you a much faster and easier option than dispensing liquid detergent with a cleaning product such as a mop, thus reducing the manual effort and the time required to complete the task. There is another reason for a higher demand for wipes due to modernization and more significant concern about cross-contamination by infections acquired in hospitals. Harmful food bacteria, such as E. coli, have promoted the sale of disinfectant wipes in health centers, commercial spaces, manufacturing plants, and throughout the home. Wipes are mainly used to reduce the need for water and save time.

The Wipes have witnessed rapid growth in recent years worldwide. Some of the key characteristics of products that affect market growth are cost, convenience, hygiene, performance, ease of use, time savings, disposables, safety regulation, and consumer-centered aesthetics. All these benefits resulted in increasing sales in the global wipes market.
