Which industry factors have accelerated the medical pleated masks market’s expansion?
The increase in respiratory diseases is expected to propel the growth of the medical pleated masks market going forward. Respiratory diseases are medical conditions that affect the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system, leading to difficulties in breathing and impaired oxygen exchange. The increase in respiratory diseases is primarily attributed to factors such as air pollution, smoking, aging populations, occupational hazards, and the rise of viral infections. Medical pleated masks are used to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases by filtering airborne particles, reducing the inhalation of pathogens, and protecting both the wearer and others. For instance, in June 2024, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, an Australia-based health and welfare agency, approximately 8.5 million people in Australia, or 34% of the population, were estimated to have chronic respiratory conditions. This includes an estimated 2.8 million people, or 11% of the population, living with asthma, and 638,000 people, or 2.5% of the population, living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Therefore, the increase in respiratory diseases is driving the medical pleated masks market.
