The global protective face mask market share and size is projected to reach USD 3.59 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Surging demand for face protection masks to contain the spread of the COVID-19 infection will considerably augment the growth of this market, states Fortune Business Insights™ in its report, titled “Protective Face Mask Market Size, Share & Covid-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Medical Face Mask {Surgical & Procedure, N-95 Respirators, and Others}, Respirator, and Others), By Usage (Disposable, and Reusable), and By End-Use (Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Mining, Construction, Manufacturing, and Others) and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027”. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 89 million medical masks will be required on a monthly basis to meet the skyrocketing demand for protective medical equipment worldwide. This dire situation has gotten even more accentuated with countries reporting massive shortages of protective face masks. For example, Canada revealed in January 2020 that the country was running out of the 55 million N95 masks it had stockpiled during the SARS contagion of 2003. Italy, Europe’s worst-hit country by the coronavirus, has been received 800,000 masks from South Africa in March, but reported that it needed at least 10 million more. Widening gap between supply and demand of face masks has prompted companies to enhance their production capacities, which is opening unique expansion avenues for the market and fueling its growth.
