Interpark Reports 193% Increase in Soap and Hand Sanitizer Sales Due to COVID-19

Health and Hygiene Products Discount Event Underway

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Sales of health and hygiene products have significantly increased among customers who have become more health-conscious due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Interpark announced on the 24th that an analysis of sales in the health functional food category over six months from February 21 to August 20 showed a 35% increase compared to the same period last year. In particular, children's health functional foods increased by as much as 135%. Additionally, as handwashing is known to be very effective in preventing the virus, sales of hygiene products also rose sharply during the same period. Sales in the soap and hand sanitizer category increased by a remarkable 193%, and kitchen, bathroom, and multi-purpose detergents increased by 66%.

Accordingly, Interpark is holding a health and hygiene product discount event for customers who have become more health-conscious until the 31st. This is a collaborative event featuring the health functional food brand 'Cenovis' and the household goods brand 'Aekyung.' Major benefits include coupons offering up to 25% discounts, such as a 5% overlapping discount and an additional 20% discount.

Yoon Su-mi, Interpark's health food MD, said, "As the resurgence of COVID-19 has made immunity and personal hygiene more important than ever, we have prepared a collaborative event where customers can take care of both at once."
