Electric Hand Dryer Market To Experience An Outstanding Growth In The Future

17:52 17 October 2019

With the world moving towards eco-friendly and sustainable solutions, the use of paper towels in public restrooms, even if they’re recycled, is not only being reduced but is being replaced on a large scale with electric hand dryers. That opens up the market for electric hand dryers and allows an immense growth within the foreseeable future to take place for many reasons.

Hygiene

The first and foremost reason is that the level of cleanliness in a public bathroom can easily get out of hand, especially when using paper towels. After using the stall, you cannot direct or anticipate the user’s pathway and whether they will head straight to the sink to wash their hands or just grab a paper towel and head out. If they decide to do the latter, there is a huge risk of spreading diseases as their hands can still hold microscopic fecal matter that can be easily transferred onto the paper towels and transmitted to the next user. To prevent this from happening, installing an electric hand dryer can guarantee the steps taken by a user. That means that once a person has exited the bathroom stall, they will have to head to the sink, wash their hands and then find their way to the hand dryer only after having clean hands. This will help ensure that the hygiene level of the bathroom is in better condition than the alternative.

Eco-friendly

When thinking of the environment, hand dryers can really help with sustainability as they are considered to be environmentally friendly. Not only are there specific hand dryers that save a whole lot more energy, but they also prevent the use of paper towels which help save the trees by reducing deforestation, and also prevents more waste from being produced.

The manufacturing process of paper towels can also have an immense effect on the environment and lead to a great amount of pollution. In order to produce 1 ton of paper towels, 17 trees are cut down, 500 gallons of gasoline and oil are burnt and up to 7,000 gallons of water get polluted, making the use of hand dryers a much more sustainable alternatives. 

If your company is looking to promote themselves as a green business, using electric dryers can help them achieve that status as it really helps reduce the carbon footprint around the world.

Cost

When it comes to weighing the costs between using certain types of hand dryers and paper towels, you’ll find that there’s a whopping 95% cost difference making it essential for a hand dryer to be installed in a public bathroom. Not only will you be reducing the costs the company has to incur, but you’ll also be reducing the expenses of having to get rid of the waste provided by the paper towels.

Public bathrooms are found in shopping malls, restaurants, companies, airports, train stations and so many more areas. If all these places starting moving towards sustainability, the amount of paper towels that will be eliminated will save the environment immensely. That, in turn, will open up so many opportunities for electric hand dryer companies to grow.
