Global Face Masks Market By distribution (online market, malls and superstore, wholesale market); By type (cotton, polyester, plastic and others); By end user (oil and chemical, healthcare industry, mining, textile, etc.) and Region –Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2016 – 2019 and Forecasts to 2030.

Product overview

A face mask is an individual safety product used to protect the wearer from inhaling hazardous airborne materials, particle matter, gases, and vapors. The nose and mouth are covered by face masks on their faces. The facial mask is used for protecting people against breathing infections and creating a physical barrier between the user's nose and mouth and possible contaminants in the immediate environment. Face masks force the wearer's air through filter material before it is inhaled, which ensures a certain protection level. Direct exposure or contact may be caused by infectious material deposited on respiratory masks. Special care is therefore needed while removing masks to prevent skin, clothes, and mucous membranes from getting contaminated.

Market Highlights

Fatpos Global anticipates the Face masks market to surpass USD 7.22 Billion by 2030, which is valued at XX billion in 2019 at a compound annual growth rate of 22.14%. This market is anticipated to grow due to the driving force of increasing concern for the securities and safety of the workers. In addition, the face masks’ demand over the forecast period is projected to increase with the growing concern about the exposure to radioactive and toxic air pollution and rising instances of infectious biological hazards. Moreover, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the market.

Technological advances in features and functionality of face masks coupled with the growing demand for multiutility RPE are expected to provide sufficient market growth opportunities in the coming years. In addition, lighter weight masks are increasingly favored by users who are required to wear respirators for a longer time.
