Manufacturers in the hand dryers market are offering customization to cater to the needs of the users. For instance, World Dryer introduced it's SMARTdri Plus energy efficient and high-speed hand dryer into the market; such innovations in the market are likely to uplift the electric hand dryers market during the forecast period.
