Disposable Respirator Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (N-Series, P-Series and R-Series), End User (Transportation, Energy, Manufacturing, Construction, Health Care and Other End Users), and By Geography

Disposable Respirator Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (N-Series, P-Series and R-Series), End User (Transportation, Energy, Manufacturing, Construction, Health Care and Other End Users), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Disposable Respirator Market is accounted for $2191.2 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $3004.1 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. Disposable respirators are also known as particulate respirators and air-purifying respirators because they offer protection by removing airborne particles, disposable respirators are also known as particulate respirators and air-purifying respirators. These respirators protect against bacteria and viruses rather than gases or vapours. Additionally, workers in a variety of industries use respirators to protect themselves from several dangerous particles like crystalline silica and other airborne chemicals.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people can transmit the virus to others while showing no signs or symptoms of COVID-19. Surgical facemasks can prevent the transmission of the coronavirus from symptomatic individuals. Wearing a facemask may limit exposure to respiratory droplets and large particles and may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for disposable respirator in construction industry

Working in the construction industry involves the risk of inhaling harmful particles. Therefore, wearing proper respiratory protection is important. Construction dust can cause serious damage to workers’ health and even life-threatening diseases. Construction workers can be exposed to different types of dust particles, such as lead dust, silica, and wood. Construction workers are exposed to minute silica dust particles from many sources. Suffering long-term exposure to dust, chemicals and other irritants can cause a range of lung problems that can lead to cancer and other serious illnesses.

Restraint:

Potential hazard to the environment

To combat the COVID-19 outbreak, face coverings are now required in public places all over the world. However, masks were contributing to litter issues on land and in the sea even before they were required. The majority of disposable masks are made of plastic, which does not biodegrade but can be easily broken down into smaller pieces. About 43 billion disposable masks are produced each month. It can easily end up in freshwater systems, oceans, and the environment if it is not recycled or disposed of properly, which would impede the market's expansion.

Opportunity:

Increased need for n95 respirators in healthcare environments

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the healthcare sector is experiencing rapid change expected to propel the Disposable Respirator market to significant growth. A greater emphasis on employee safety in healthcare settings as a result of the pandemic has increased PPE adoption and demand. The growing elderly population base and the increasing number of COVID-19 cases globally will amplify these trends even more. In the future, the market for disposable respirators will experience profitable growth due to the rising demand for respiratory protection in the healthcare sector to ensure the safety of the staff and patients during and after the pandemic.

Threat:

Causes skin problems

Face masks are now regarded as essential for daily life, so one should never forget to put one on when going out or even just socializing. Disposable face masks may appear straightforward and ideal, but they may also cause skin issues. Face masks may cause skin issues such as facial itch, acne, and red rashes, which may further restrict the growth of the market.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a significant increase in the demand for facemasks and respirators. Facemasks and respirators were extremely hard to come by because no nation had anticipated such a high demand. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as respirators, is produced in China, one of the world's top producers. As one of the first nations to experience the pandemic, China served as the COVID-19 outbreak's focal point. Numerous industrial facilities had to operate at reduced capacity or even shut down entirely as a result of national restrictions and lockdowns. The inability to obtain enough raw materials and their high cost will probably make it difficult to produce disposable respirators during this period.

The N-Series segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Particulates made of oil cannot pass through N-rated respirators. They are among the most commonly used respirators because they can be worn continuously and offer adequate defence against airborne particles like coal smoke, airborne particulates from stone grinding, and so forth. The demand for N-series respirators, especially N-95 respirators, has significantly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. N-95 respirators have been recommended for frontline employees by numerous health organisations, including the WHO and CDC, in their COVID-19 guidelines.

The Healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Disposable Respirators play a critical role in the healthcare industry, where the demand for the number of respirators consumed annually, is five times greater than any other industry. In the healthcare setting, the N95 respirator is the most common respirator, but despite the significantly greater protection afforded to the user, surgical masks are more frequently used in clinical settings. Surgical masks only offer protection from large particle droplets and fail to shield the user from inhaled small particle droplets, fumes, or vapours and do not receive an OSHA APF. Respirators are the only type of PPE that protects against airborne rather than droplet hazards; therefore, it is essential that healthcare workers wear them and these are propelling the segment growth.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific region held a revenue share, dominating the disposable face mask market. The region's manufacturers profit from the presence of a sizable population base, especially in nations like China and India. Significant growth is also being aided by the region's growing number of hospitals and healthcare facilities. The main elements that are anticipated to drive the market growth in this region are the expanding industrial sector and government rules and regulations to protect the health of workers. In addition, over the coming few years, urbanisation and rising disposable income in China and India are anticipated to increase product demand.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America generated nearly USD 2.10 billion in annual revenue during 2020 and will continue to dominate the disposable respirators market share during the forecast period. North America holds an unusually Growth rate proportion of the global disposable respirator market. Regional growth will be influenced by the strict workplace safety standards that require companies to provide suitable respiratory protection equipment to their employees. The US and Canada mandate that businesses outfit their staff with the proper respiratory protection equipment as needed.
