Face Mask Market – Segmentation

  • In 2020, the 2-ply face masks segment accounted for a share of 32.66% in the global surgical face mask market. The 2-ply face mask is manufactured from the fabric material polypropylene or other non-woven kinds of materials. One of the major limitations of this mask is that it lacks a filter layer, which makes it useless against haze, viruses, and bacteria.
  • The N-Series mask offers protection against COVID-19 infections. Apart from the surface area that it covers, the protection is provided by the quality of the fabric used, the material used, and its filtration capability. The N95 and N94 masks filter out up to 94–95% of the fine particles and dust.
  • Synthetic face masks are made from polypropylene material, which is also commonly used in other manufacturing platforms such as automotive manufacturing, furniture assembly, and the aerospace industry. During the pandemic when the other manufacturing segments witnessed a slowdown, the demand for this material to manufacture face masks was not so high, but its availability was easy.

Face Mask Market – Dynamics

Recently, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the world, researchers and scientists are working continuously to develop high-tech protective medical face masks such as 3D printed masks. Clinicians from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) demonstrated the effectiveness of a 3D printed surgical mask designed to mitigate any shortage of conventional medical face masks resulting from the coronavirus crisis. In addition, the FDA also initiated innovative and creative approaches to recommend using 3D-printed face masks to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the FDA, 3D-printed PPEs such as face masks can be used to provide a physical barrier to the environment to prevent the virus from the spread. The FDA also developed guidelines for manufacturers encompassing 3D printing of medical face masks. These 3D-printed masks are reusable and easy to disinfect. It is also reported that a standard disposable surgical mask can be cut into four filters for this 3D printed mask.

Key Drivers and Trends fueling Market Growth:

  • Increased Usage of Double Masking
  • Increased EUA Approvals for Face Masks
  • Increased Number of Surgeries
  • New Entrants in Face Mask Manufacture

Face Mask Market – Geography

In 2020, Europe accounted for a share of 36.45% in the global face mask market. Europe is home to many developed and developing countries, and the usage of face masks is high in this region due to multiple factors such as the growing food & beverage industry, increased awareness among end-users regarding personal safety, and the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the region. Some countries such as Spain and Italy are largely famous for their food industry across the globe. Large volumes of packed foods are exported by these countries across the globe. The food industries have recommended workers wear face masks to avoid contamination of food products since there have been many cross-contamination issues in the past few years. The UK recently exited from the EU council. This scenario is forcing the country to largely invest in various sectors to increase its potential and become more independent from other European countries. The country is largely investing in multiple sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and food & beverages.
