It is expected to expand at a CAGR of -25.2% from 2022 to 2030. The unprecedented spread of coronavirus in the U.S. is driving the demand for disposable face masks.

Furthermore, the popularity of online sales has been creating a healthy demand for designer face masks, most notably among affluent consumers worldwide. Such trends are expected to sustain throughout the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been creating a strong demand for disposable face masks worldwide. With the global demand for the product rapidly outstripping supply, numerous market participants have been increasing production to cater to the expanding universal need for disposable face masks.

The personal application segment held the largest revenue share in 2021. The global rise in the incidence of airborne diseases and pollution levels has been encouraging a sizable number of consumers to opt for personal disposable face masks. With consumers looking to protect themselves against several viruses- and bacteria-related illnesses, prominent manufacturers are focusing on increasing their scale of operation with regard to the manufacturing of disposable face masks for personal use.

The offline distribution channel segment dominated the U.S. market in 2021. Consumer outlets that sell selective items of a single brand are considered specialty retail stores. Specialty retailers primarily focus on high customer satisfaction. Most pharmacies, drug stores, and hospitals sell disposable face masks at a cheap price. Moreover, purchasing products offline gives a better understanding of the quality and design of the product. Physical verification of the products is only possible through offline channels and this acts as a crucial deciding factor for consumers.

Major players in the U.S. market include a combination of a few established players and many small players.
