Face Masks Market by Material Type (Polypropylene (PP), Polyurethane, Polyester, Cotton and Others), Type, Usability, Distribution Channel, End User and Geography - Global Industry Analysis, Opportunities and Forecast up to 2026

The global face masks market size was valued at $4.12 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $6.68 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period.

• Globally, millions of people are suffering from pandemic disease like COVID19 and H1N1 infectious viruses owing to which millions of people have already died. Moreover, social distancing and use of face masks is only the way to keep people away from infectious virus like COVID19. This is one of the major factor driving the face masks market growth.

• Additionally, in order to avoid scarcity of face mask government has initiated more investment in its manufacturing activity, which fuels the growth of the face mask market. Furthermore, the U.S. government has ordered Honeywell International to expand its production of N95 masks in the country, so that masks are available for general public also.

• However, fluctuating commodity prices have a tremendous impact on the cash flows and earnings of companies in that ecosystem. This is expected to add to the manufacturing cost of face masks, hence a restraint to the face mask market.

COVID19, influenza, chickenpox, mumps, and measles all require the use of a face mask to defend against airborne infections. It's a half-face mask that shields the nose, chin, and mouth from the elements. The use of medical-grade masks in hospitals and other health-care facilities significantly reduces viral transmission. Recent studies suggest that masks could save lives in a variety of ways: study demonstrates that they minimise the odds of spreading and receiving the virus, and other studies suggest that masks may reduce the severity of infection if patients do contract the sickness.

By End User, the Personal/Individual Protection Segment is Expected to Grow at Higher CAGR over the Forecast Period

The personal/individual protection segment is anticipated to grow at higher CAGR over the forecast period during the forecast period. Face masks used by the general population for respiratory protection against airborne illnesses or pollutants is included in the personal/individual protection section. Despite the fact that the suggestion to wear face masks for symptomatic patients and those in health-care settings is consistent, there are differences in the general public and community settings. When exposed to high-risk places, it would be appropriate to advise susceptible individuals to avoid crowded areas and to use personal/Individual Protection face masks rationally. This segment's growth can be due to a growing awareness of the need to defend against possible pandemics and respiratory infections.

By Geography, Asia Pacific Region is Expected to Register Significant Growth Rate

Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing and the largest market for face mask during the forecast period. Face mask demand in the Asia Pacific region is being driven by factors such as rising demand for face masks in developing economies such as China and India, the expansion and improvement of healthcare infrastructure in Southeast Asian countries, the rising geriatric population in countries such as Japan, increasing investments in the healthcare industry, the expansion of private-sector hospitals to rural areas, and rapid economic growth. The application of a face mask is an essential element in the skincare routines of customers in this region, since it moisturises the skin and gives it a healthy glow. Due to their features such as temporary skin tightening, stimulation of blood flow, elimination of pollutants and dirt, hydrating and softening the skin, and therefore boosting demand, peel off masks, cream masks, and clay masks will continue to be top-selling goods.
