N95 Mask Market Dynamics:
Stringent workplace safety laws, especially in developed countries, are expected to drive the market growth, as will the increasing number of surgeries and ICU admissions. The increase in the number of doctors in public and private medical institutions and the number of surgeries in the medical sector has driven the demand for disposable masks. The demand for face masks is expected to rise worldwide as the number of cataract surgery, plastic surgery and eye surgeons increases. Medical specialists performed more than 23 million procedures worldwide, 53 percent of which were minimally invasive. In addition, the number of minimally invasive hysterectomies in the United States has skyrocketed in the past decade.
Hospital-acquired cases have also driven up demand for masks of all kinds. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) continue to be a major problem in the healthcare industry, requiring medical personnel to use disposable medical gloves to limit the spread of HAIs. Hospitals, ambulatory care, long-term care, and home care facilities are at high risk for infectious respiratory infections due to increased mortality and morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, spread of superbugs, poor infection control procedures, and disease outbreaks.
Low quality and counterfeit N95 masks have wreaked havoc on the industry, as the industry has seen intense competition with suppliers selling counterfeit products at low prices. There have been several recent reports of fake N95 masks. One hospital in Massachusetts, for example, found 30,000 fake N95 masks. 3M has confiscated more than 10 million masks since the outbreak and received 10,500 inquiries about the legality of n95 masks, according to the company. This situation is restraining the growth of the global N95 mask market. The availability of low-cost masks as well as the scarcity of N95 masks will also have a significant impact on the market growth.
