The global mask market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 51.1% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Mask is an object that is worn on the face for several purposes, including protection, respiration, and others. The major factor attributing to the growth of the global mask market includes the increasing prevalence of respiratory and communicable diseases across the globe. According to the report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in June 2021, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 3rd major cause of mortality across the globe with around 3.23 million mortality due to COPD in 2019. COPD shows several symptoms, including difficulty in breathing, cough, or phlegm production. Thus, increasing the requirement for masks for respiration.

The usage of masks is also increasing by doctors and surgeons due to the increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe. According to a report published by the National Library of Medicine (NIH) in July 2020, around 310 million major surgeries are performed every year globally. Among these, 40 to 50 million major surgeries are done in the US alone and 20 million major surgeries are done in Europe resulting in post-surgical pain. Thus, contributing to the growth of the global mask market.
