Global Disposable Masks Market - Key Trends & Drivers Summarized

Disposable masks have become an essential item in public health, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The growth in the disposable masks market is driven by several factors. The ongoing threat of infectious diseases, including seasonal flu and emerging viruses, has led to sustained demand for disposable masks as a preventive measure.
