U.S. Disposable Face Mask Market: Dust Masks Product Segment is Projected To Register A CAGR Of -22.8%
U.S. Disposable Face Mask Industry Overview
The U.S. disposable face mask market size was valued at USD 8,316.5 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -25.2% from 2022 to 2030. Rising pollution levels, increased usage among consumers, and more knowledge about health and well-being are the primary factors driving the market. In addition, the rising number of operations conducted daily, along with the unprecedented spread of the coronavirus, is encouraging the use of disposable face masks. Furthermore, the rising frequency of airborne illnesses, rising mask consumption for personnel usage, and rising incidence of hospital-acquired infections might make disposable face masks a profitable business.
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak that began in China during the first half of 2020 is likely to benefit the global market. The very function of disposable face masks necessitates their consumption worldwide during an outbreak of such pandemic diseases. The disposable face masks industry has been historically relying heavily on the growth of the Chinese market as China has been traditionally supplying most of the disposable face masks worldwide. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has encouraged the entry of new players across countries owing to the unprecedented demand for the product in domestic markets. In the near term, countries are expected to be more independent when it comes to the production of disposable face masks.

Small and medium-sized market players are expected to show considerable improvements in the foreseeable future, given the moderate level of capital expenditure needed to set up a business. Larger companies, however, are likely to aim for global expansion, in a bid to gain a more considerable brand reputation. Capacity expansion is expected to remain the preferred competitive strategy for prominent market participants. For instance, in March 2020, Honeywell expanded its production capabilities in Phoenix, Arizona to produce N95 face masks in support of the U.S. government’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The COVID-19 outbreak worldwide has been significantly contributing to the increasing demand for raw materials and accessories to make disposable face masks. In this respect, prominent raw material suppliers from around the world have stepped up their efforts to increase their scale of operation. For instance, in March 2020, Asheboro Elastics Corp., a U.S.-based manufacturer of knitted, elastic, woven, and rigid narrow fabrics, announced that it will be manufacturing and supplying 3 million yards of fabric to a Texas-based disposable face masks company to make medical-grade face masks. Such instances of raw material oversupply are expected to surface globally over the forecast period, given the ongoing impact of the novel coronavirus.
The use of a surgical mask to protect one from the viruses and other pathogens that can cause infections is projected to upscale the demand for disposable face masks soon. The main purpose of these masks is to avoid one from getting in contact with airborne germs, dust, and other infection-carrying pathogens. The rise in cases of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), the growing elderly population, and the development of healthcare facilities in emerging economies is fueling the market growth. Though these masks are designed to offer protection, it is recommended to select one that won’t cause any allergies.
Major players in the market have been ramping up their production capacity, along with improvising their distribution channels, to cater to the unexpected spike in the demand. For instance, on March 30, 2020, Honeywell announced to expand its manufacturing capabilities in Phoenix to produce N95 face masks in support of the U.S. government’s response to the novel coronavirus. The companies would produce more than 20 million N95 disposable masks monthly to combat the deteriorating COVID-19 condition in the U.S. This announcement came immediately after the expansion of its manufacturing operations in Smithfield, Rhode Island, announced on March 22, 2020.
