          This study aimed to investigate market opportunity for introducing the Hygienic Hand Cream in Thailand.  There are numbers of hand hygiene products available in Thailand, however, most of them are alcohol-based products which occasionally caused several skin problems.  This new product launch “Hygienic Hand Cream” could be a perfect product substitution and better diversification than alcohol-based hand gel. Thus the study attempted to discover consumers buying factors using demographic and marketing factors, which could consequently influence consumers’ decision making. Self-administered questionnaires had been launched in Bangkok metropolitan area using simple random sampling technique and tools of research. Through a basic descriptive statistics as well as logit and probit regression models, the results clearly show that consumers’ buying decisions depend on pricing as the most significant. Consumers who have already used alcohol-based hand gel will be willing to buy the new Hygienic Hand Cream compared to consumers who never used this kind of products previously.
