Global Surgical Mask Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

A surgical mask, also known as a procedure mask, is intended to be worn by health professionals during surgery and during nursing to catch the bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose. They are not designed to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne bacteria or virus particles and are less effective than respirators, such as N95 or FFP masks, which provide better protection due to their material, shape and tight seal.

Influence of COVID-19 Outbreak on Global Surgical Masks Industry Development

The new coronavirus not only threatens the lives of people all over the world, causing social anxiety and pessimism, but also affecting the global industrial chain. Pessimists predict that the world economy will never return to the past. This conclusion has certain basis. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in Wuhan, China, China has immediately stopped production and a large number of laborers have ceased operations in China. Even during the Spring Festival, the difficulty of controlling the epidemic clearly exceeded China's ability, causing China's economic activities to be suspended for nearly three months.
Although the epidemic has affected the development of all walks of life, the surgical mask industry is clearly not among them. Due to the high contagious nature of the new coronavirus, surgical masks are essential for life before the epidemic is over. Not only do medical staff need surgical masks to ensure that they are not infected during treatment, but ordinary people also need medical masks with good filterability to protect their health. And then, masks are in short supply. According to the media, the daily output of China can reach 100 million units of masks, many enterprises have increased their production lines. Even so, global masks are still in short supply. Therefore, this year is a year of surge in performance for the surgical mask industry. The epidemic is the main driver of this wave of growth.
