Surgical Masks Industry Overview
The global surgical masks market size is anticipated to reach USD 685.5 million by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2019 to 2028. The market growth is associated with the increasing demand for respiratory protection in the healthcare industry, during the COVID-19 pandemic and rising awareness regarding healthcare-associated infections.
Rapid development in medical diagnostics and an increasing number of operations and medical procedures performed throughout the world are factors projected to boost the demand for surgical masks. Furthermore, rising awareness pertaining to the protection provided by these masks against airborne illnesses is expected to supplement the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected several countries globally, owing to which the demand for various PPE products, including medical face masks, has increased significantly. Thus, to cater to this increased demand, several manufacturers have increased their production capacities.
Companies focus on integration across various stages of the value chain to gain a competitive edge in the market. In November 2020, Medline Industries, Inc. announced its plans for manufacturing face masks in North America. The company is modifying its Lithia Springs, Georgia-based manufacturing plant and began its production in January 2021.
Surgical Masks Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global surgical masks market on the basis of product, distribution channel, and region:
Based on the Product Insights, the market is segmented into Basic Surgical Mask, Anti-fog Surgical Mask, Fluid/Splash Resistant Surgical Mask, and Others.
- The fluid/splash-resistant surgical masks segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 11.0% over the forecast period. These masks reduce exposure to blood and other bodily fluids as a result of spray, splatter, or splashes during medical procedures. They are used in areas requiring a high level of fluid protection, such as operating rooms and cardiac laboratories.
- Anti-fog surgical masks create a seal between the user’s face and the mask to avoid fogging. The technology in these masks in the form of foam, adhesive, or film keeps the condensation from escaping out from the top part of the mask, which further prevents the eyeglasses from fogging and ensures optical clarity.
Based on the Distribution Channel Insights, the market is segmented into Online, and Offline.
- The offline segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 74.5% in 2020. This segment comprises hospital pharmacies, drug stores, retail stores, and over-the-counter pharmacies. Offline distribution channels are expected to play an important role in market growth on account of their convenience and goodwill among consumers.
- Surgical masks are also sold through numerous major e-commerce platforms as well as independent retailers and company/manufacturer-operated websites. Online distribution channels offer convenience in terms of bulk orders, door-step deliveries, and substantial discounts. Increasing internet and e-commerce penetration, especially in emerging markets, is expected to have a positive impact on segment growth.
- In addition, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the governments of various countries across the globe are promoting the purchase of essential products, including PPE through online portals to prevent transmission of the virus by maintaining norms of lockdown and social distancing, as well as facilitating the availability of PPE.
