Drivers – Surgical Mask Market
Increasing need for improved safety standards
Increasing need for improved safety standard has led to the increase in the growth of the surgical mask market as success rate of surgeries largely depends on the level of safety and precautions taken during surgeries. Surgical mask is used as a barrier to avoid cross contamination by microorganisms and are used during surgical procedures. The surgical mask is used by surgeons during procedures and other medical professionals while interacting with the patients to avoid cross contamination of microorganisms. The patient who is under treatment also needs to be protected from infectious agents that is set to be discharged by others in the surgery rooms. Outbreak of pandemic & increase in elderly population and increase in the number of medical device manufacturing companies According to WHO, currently, more than 4.2 million people worldwide are infected with Corona (COVID-19). In the context of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, the World Health Organization recommends the use of masks in home and healthcare settings. Moreover, On March 6, 2023, the FDA updated the umbrella EUA for disposable surgical masks in healthcare settings during COVID-19. Only masks listed in Appendix A at the reissuance date are authorized for emergency use. As of May 2023, the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) declared under the Public Health Service (PHS) Act has ended. Consequently, enforcement policy guidances related to COVID-19, including those concerning face masks, barrier face coverings, surgical masks, and respirators, outlined in the Transition Plan for Medical Devices, are no longer operative. This in turn increases demand for surgical marks. Increase in the elderly population, increase in the adoption of surgical masks in the general population and surge in the prevalence of contagious and chronic diseases such as tuberculosis and asthma along with the rise in the number of medical device manufacturing companies and rapid developments in nonwovens production technology is poised to contribute in the growth of the surgical mask market. Increasing focus on preventing hospital-acquired infections and improvement in healthcare infrastructure & service are also some of the factors that are contributing to the growth of the surgical mask market.
