Also, hand dryers can be more cost-effective than paper towels in the long term.

The growing emphasis on reducing environmental concerns and increasing demand for energy-efficient systems are among the major factors driving the hand dryer market growth. The high use of hand dryers in shopping malls, airports, restaurants, and commercial buildings further supports the market development.

The increased shift toward automated and touchless technologies is anticipated to drive the demand for motion-activated hand dryers and other advanced hand drying systems. The rising focus on smart infrastructure development and increasing adoption of net-zero energy buildings are projected to offer significant market opportunities for players in the coming years.
