Brazil: hygiene goods consumption growth due to COVID-19

According to a survey carried out in April 2020, 77 percent of respondents in Brazil reported buying or using more alcohol-based hand sanitizer in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Disinfectants and disposable face masks were also the most bought or used hygiene products, with more than half of respondents using them more frequently. Almost 45 percent of the Brazilians surveyed were also prone to purchase and use liquid soap for the same reason.
