Global Surgical Mask Market Overview

The Surgical Masks Market size is expected to grow from USD 3.93 Billion in 2022 to USD 7.30 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.05% during the forecast period.

A surgical mask is a piece of personal protection equipment used by healthcare workers that acts as a mechanical barrier that prevents direct airflow into and out of respiratory orifices. It is sometimes referred to by other names, such as a medical face mask or a procedure mask (i.e. nose and mouth). This aids in lowering the risk of respiratory droplets released when coughing, sneezing, strong exhalation, accidentally spitting while talking, and other respiratory activities spreading infections and other aerosolized contaminants between the user and those in close proximity. Surgical, isolation, dental, or medical procedure masks are some of the names given to surgical masks.

Surgical masks are different from filtering respirators, such as those made to the American N95 standard, which is more airtight and specifically designed to protect against finer airborne particles. Although the material from which surgical masks are made will filter out some viruses and bacteria by trapping the aerosol suspended in breathed air, they only provide partial protection from airborne diseases because of the typically loose fit between the mask edges and the wearer's face.

Nonwoven fabrics manufactured by the melt-blowing method are used to make surgical masks. The colored side of the mask (fluid-repellant layer) is to be worn outwards and the white side (absorbent layer) inside out. The colored side of the mask (fluid-repellant layer) is often dark blue, green, or occasionally yellow. People who are ill frequently wear masks as a custom in various East Asian nations to prevent the spread of their illness, to guard against air pollution or allergens, to make a statement, or to avoid social engagement.

Market Dynamics and Factors of the Surgical Mask Market

Regional Analysis in the Surgical Mask Market

Based on regional analysis, it is anticipated that throughout the projected period, the market in Asia Pacific would represent the biggest revenue share in the global market. The market's rapid expansion is attributed to the government's increasingly strict laws and regulations. The implementation of mask mandates was linked to the comparatively quick spread of SARS-CoV-2 in nations like China and India, among others. Increasing numbers of healthcare facilities in the area have prompted the use of surgical masks to avoid HAIs. India had over 69,000 public and private hospitals in 2019 and this number is rapidly increasing, according to data. The market for surgical masks has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 virus outbreak in India, as surgical masks lessen virus infection among symptomatic, asymptomatic individuals, and pre-symptomatic patients. Using surgical masks can shield a person from even the smallest illness and its effects. As a result, there is a rising need for surgical and medical masks worldwide. Numerous manufacturing firms have continuously improved both their products and their interactions with rivals.

COVID-19 Impact on the Surgical Mask Market

Medical professionals and the general public are suddenly more in need of surgical masks as a result of the current COVID-19 epidemic in the nation. A shortage of surgical masks occurred in March 2020 as a result of panic buying by the populace following the government's mandate that masks be worn in public places. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic phase, demand for masks has increased significantly due to their effectiveness in preventing and managing infection, which can impede the spread of respiratory viral infections like COVID-19. Thus, it is projected that the increase in pandemics or epidemics will increase the demand for surgical masks in the nation. The rise in the use of surgical masks has been closely correlated with an increase in surgical procedures. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for the distribution of surgical and anesthesia masks among various end-users, such as ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, specialty clinics, etc., has increased as a result of minimally invasive procedures.
