Protective Face Masks Market Segmentation:
Type Segment Analysis
The surgical masks segment in the protective face masks market is expected to register a significant growth during the forecast period owing to the high usage of protective face masks for various surgical procedures. Protective face masks are crucial in these settings to prevent any kind of infection transmission during operations. According to a study published in Jama Network in December 2021, there were more than 13 million surgical procedures carried out in the U.S. alone from January 2019 to January 2021.
Other factors such as rising need for safe and protective gear in high-risk environments such as hospitals and clinics, stringent norms and guidelines to wear masks in the operating rooms, and increasing investments to launch new products to cater to specific needs are expected to boost segment revenue growth during the forecast period.
End use Segment Analysis
The hospitals and clinics segment is expected to account for a 30% revenue share of the global protective face masks market by 2035. This robust growth can be attributed to the large patient base for infectious diseases and the growing need for advanced protective gear for healthcare professionals as well as patients in hospitals and clinics to protect themselves from exposure to infected respiratory droplets.
Protective face masks play a key role in reducing the number of hospital acquired infections (HAIs). According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May 2024, 1 in 31 patients admitted to hospitals has atleast 1 healthcare-associated infection. In addition, these masks help to maintain a sterile condition, by preventing the release of microorganisms from surgical staff into the sterile working field.
