Face Masks Market to surpass USD 2.3 Billion by 2030, which is valued at 10.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 15.40%
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.
This market is anticipated to grow due to the driving force of increasing concern for the security 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.
Wholesale stores are expected to register the highest CAGR of 8.1% during the forecasted period.

Outbreak of COVID-19
The ongoing coronavirus epidemic has prompted an increase in demand for face masks like N95 respirators that medical professionals frequently use to help protect them from contracting the virus. Surgical masks are also in high demand and are said to be most useful in the case of this pandemic in patients with the infection to prevent the further spread of the virus in a clinical setting. The effectiveness of surgical face masks in blocking the transmission of SARS is 68%.
Increasing atmospheric pollution
Growing issues in the atmosphere about toxic materials, contaminants, chemicals, and substances have contributed to increased demand for face masks. Furthermore, increasing airborne diseases, exposure to toxic chemicals, and others have led to an increase in concern about respiratory problems and thus the demand for such products.
Restricted Future Growth
Factors that could hamper the future growth of the masks market include environmental concerns, a shortage of masks, and increased use of homemade masks. Another factor that has hindered the growth of this market is the increase in the number of counterfeit products.
Increased competition
Another trend that has been observed is the number of competitive firms has increased which can supply at a lower price. The largest producer of face masks is China with a standard daily capacity of 20 million quantities.
