Respiratory Masks Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report, by Type, by Age Group, by End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031

Respiratory Masks Market Research, 2031

The global respiratory mask market size was valued at $527.10 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $2,394.30 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2022 to 2031 The purpose of a respiratory masks is to shield the wearer's lungs from potentially hazardous atmospheres, such dust, vapor, gas, and particle matter. A mask or other covering that covers the mouth and nose protects the respiratory system by removing harmful elements from the air that is inhaled, such as dust, fumes, or bacteria. Only particles can be filtered out by particulate respirator masks; gases and vapors are not affected. A numerical rating such as 95 or 99, may be assigned to a respirator of this type to indicate the volume of airborne particles filtered. In addition, a letter may be used to indicate if something is somewhat (R), not at all (NR), or significantly (P) resistant to the effects of oil on proper respirator operation.

Growth of the global respiratory mask market size is majorly driven by rise in prevalence of respiratory disorders, increase in the geriatric population, increase in number of N95 mask industry and rise in number of product launch and product approval for respiratory mask. Moreover, as COVID-19 can spread through air, it can be prevented by using respiratory mask. Thus, increase in the prevalence of COVID-19 and rise in the awareness among the people regarding the effectiveness of mask drive the respiratory mask market trends. In addition, increase in geriatric population is one of the important factors that drive the respiratory mask market growth. Number of elderly people is increasing dramatically globally. Older adults may be more susceptible to respiratory disorders, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, lung cancer, and COVID-19. This increases the demand for respiratory mask and drives the growth of the market. The most common infectious disease-related cause of death in elderly people is respiratory tract infections. Henceforth, this factor attributes to drive the respiratory mask market analysis. For instance, in 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 703 million people aged 65 and up lived in the world. By 2050, the number of elderly people is expected to increase to 1.5 billion.

Rise in the number of product launch and product approval for respiratory mask attributes to drive the growth of market. For instance, in May 2022, Honeywell International Inc., a conglomerate company, announced the launch of DC365 Small surgical N95 Respirator to help protect frontline workers who need a smaller sized surgical N95. Moreover, rise in the adoption of key strategies, such as collaboration, acquisition, partnership, and business expansion for respiratory mask products fuels the market growth. For instance, in May 2020, Premier Inc., a hospital and healthcare company, and 15 of its members acquired a minority stake in Prestige Ameritech, the nation’s largest domestic producer of face masks, as well as other personal protective equipment (PPE). Under the agreement, Premier members commit to purchase a portion of all face masks they use annually from Prestige Ameritech for up to six years.

On the other hand, fluctuation in the prices of protective face masks and production of non-biodegradable masks are some factors that are anticipated to restrain the growth of the respiratory mask market.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact on the growth of the global respiratory mask market. Use of respiratory mask is one of the important guidelines for the prevention of spread of COVID-19 infection. This fuels the demand for respiratory mask.
