The rising geriatric population, efficiency in the prevention of hospital-acquired infections combined with a surge in epidemic or pandemic outbreaks are the main factors driving the growth of this market.
Market Size - USD 48.60 Billion in 2019, Market Growth - CAGR of 7.9%, Market Trends - The coronavirus pandemic outbreak.
The Global Surgical Mask Market is forecast to reach USD 87.67 Billion by 2027, according to the recent report. The rise in the number of people with COVID-19 infections is expected to drive the global surgical mask market. According to the latest news from the World Health Organization, globally, there are 823,626 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 72,736 new cases were recorded as of April 1, 2020. Moreover, due to this pandemic outbreak, the World Health Organization recommends the use of masks everywhere. This, in turn, boosts the demand for surgical marks. The use of a face mask is extremely important to control such infections, especially in cases of circumventing droplet transmission. For blocking the transmission of SARS, the effectiveness of a surgical face mask is 68%. Hence, it is widely used by medical workers for the prevention of droplet transmission while caring for patients with such infections.
The rising use of surgical face masks is anticipated to fuel the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population with chronic conditions is more prone to such infectious diseases, including COVID-19. Hence, the use of surgical face masks by the geriatric population is expected to drive the global market. The rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in developed and developing countries presents a lucrative opportunity for this market. According to WHO's data, confirmed cases of COVID-19 stand at 97,689 in Italy, 38,309 in Iran, 78,797 in Spain, 82,447 cases in China, and 122,653 in the U.S.
The COVID-19 Impact:
The demand for respirators, masks, gloves, and protective clothing, has increased significantly as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the market positively. Employees in many sectors like aerospace, manufacturing, healthcare, etc. have been supplied masks to protect them from the virus. Due to supply chain breakdown in major supplier countries like China, the industry is facing significant challenges in ramping up the manufacturing capacities to help mitigate the supply shortage. Despite this, manufacturers are working to full capacity to supply masks across the globe to make up for this shortage of supply.
