Face Mask Market

According to Emergen Research, the global face mask market size was USD 76.72 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach a significantly smaller size of USD 58.17 billion in 2028 and register a decreasing CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. Rising air pollution across the globe, increasing incidence of infectious diseases, and implementation of government mandates to wear face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic are some key factors expected to drive global Face Mask market growth.

A face mask is a protective covering worn to cover the face and prevent individuals from breathing bad air or from inhaling and spreading germs. These masks are widely used in the healthcare and medical sector to protect healthcare professionals from acquiring hospital infections. There has been a significant increase in the demand for reusable and disposable face masks due to the rapidly spreading COVID-19 infection.

Factors such as rising incidence of acute respiratory infections, chronic lung cancer, and chronic pulmonary diseases due to deteriorating air levels, high demand for surgical masks and respirators in health centers, and increasing usage of social media platforms to promote the use of masks during coronavirus outbreak, and growing elderly population are expected to drive global market revenue growth during the forecast period.

In addition, the rising number of surgical procedures owing to the high prevalence of road accidents, and sports injuries, increasing sales of face masks through online platforms, and growing awareness about the importance of face masks among the public are other factors expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. However, increasing environmental concerns due to improper masks disposable and plastic pollution caused due to the plastic used in disposable face masks, and rising skin issues and allergies by the constant use of masks, especially during the coronavirus outbreak are some key factors that can limit the adoption of certain types of face masks and hamper market revenue growth to a certain extent going ahead.
