Global Disposable Face Masks Market Size Study & Forecast, by Product (Protective Masks, Dust Masks, Non-woven Masks), by Application (Industrial, Personal), by Distribution Channel (Online, Offline) and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030
Global Disposable Face Masks Market is valued at approximately USD 2.57 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 1.9% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Disposable Face Masks are designed to offer protection to the wearer from contact with sprays and droplets that might contain germs, pollution, and harmful smells. The market for disposable face masks is expanding due to the increase in industrial growth, with masks becoming a significant necessity in developing economies to protect against pollution and hazardous viruses. However, new entrants to the market face challenges due to the large initial investment required by companies to produce the material.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused a dramatic increase in the global demand for disposable face masks. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicted in March 2020 that 89.0 million medical masks would be required monthly due to COVID-19. This also meant that manufacturing would need to increase by 40%. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) frequently emphasizes the importance of using disposable masks, especially for medical personnel who are frequently exposed to viruses, germs, and other diseases. The adoption of disposable face masks has also been promoted due to the growing number of surgeries performed daily, with the unprecedented spread of coronavirus. According to the WHO's Global Air Quality Guidelines released in September 2021, hundreds of millions of healthy life years have been lost globally due to ambient air pollution, with low and middle-income countries having the highest disease burden related to pollution. This factor lead to an even higher adoption of disposable face masks, particularly among individuals with chronic diseases, the elderly, children, and pregnant women. The increasing number of airborne diseases, rising consumption of masks for personal use, and increasing cases of hospital-acquired infections creates lucrative opportunities for disposable face masks. However, issues related to local production and supply chain hamper the market's growth during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Disposable Face Masks Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 due to the presence of manufacturers operating in the region and a large population base, especially in countries such as India and China. The significant growth of healthcare services and hospitals in the region also contributes to the market's expansion. Europe is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period, due to factors such as the growing industrial sector, as well as government rules and regulations. National and local health authorities across Europe, including the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), have recommended the use of face masks as a measure to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.
