What are the key forces behind the protective face mask market’s growth in recent years?
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to propel the growth of the protective facemask market going forward. Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by harmful agents (pathogens) entering your body, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is due to antimicrobial resistance, climate change, and population growth. Protective face masks play a critical role in controlling the spread of infectious diseases by creating a barrier that prevents the transmission of pathogens. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Joint United Nations Programme (UNAIDS), the Switzerland-based United Nations program dedicated to addressing the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, the number of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (a type of infectious diseases) currently exceeded 39 million globally, up 3.17% from 37.7 million in 2020. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases is driving the growth of the protective facemask market.
