Face Mask Equipment Global Market Report 2022: Strong Product Demand from the Healthcare Industry & Growing Adoption of Face Masks in the End

DUBLIN, July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Face Mask Equipment: Global Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The demand for face masks among frontline health professionals (e.g., first responders, nurses, medical practitioners) is fueled by the development of respiratory infection-based pandemic illnesses, such as H1N1 and COVID-19. N95 respirator masks are becoming increasingly popular for protecting healthcare personnel from dangerous viruses and microorganisms.Pandemic diseases such as COVID-19 and H1N1, and other infectious viruses have claimed millions of lives. Social isolation and the use of face masks are the only ways to protect people from contagious viruses. Governments increased production activities to avoid face mask shortages, which has fueled the expansion of the face mask market. The global face mask material market is segmented into cotton, polypropylene and others (e.g., polyurethane, polyester, PET, rubber). In 2021, the polypropylene non-woven fabric segment dominated the market. Polypropylene, one of the major commodity plastic resins, is produced in large quantities in many countries. It can be easily converted into spun-bonded fabric and structured with a wide range of properties, so it is considered a major raw material for face mask production.The global face mask by type market is segmented into surgical, N-series, respirators and others (e.g., dust resistant, procedural masks, fashion masks). In 2021, the surgical masks segment was dominant. These masks are mainly used in healthcare application, but due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, many residential households started using them, leading to an increase in their market share.The global face mask market by usage is segmented into disposable and reusable. In 2021, the reusable mask segment was dominant. Shortages of disposable face masks, affordability and ease of use resulted in massive adoption of reusable face masks.The global face mask market by distribution channel is segmented into online and offline. In 2021, the online sales segment was dominant. In the offline segment, major sales shares were contributed by retailers and convenience stores.The global face mask market by application is segmented into healthcare, personal and industrial. In 2021, the healthcare sector dominated the application market, as it includes the primary users of respirators and surgical masks to prevent the inhalation of bacteria and viruses. Mandatory use of face masks in hospitals and clinics became part of the infection control strategy and helped to reduce cross contamination between patients and nursing staff.
