Anti-pollution Mask Market To Grow Enormously with Size Worth $4.8 Billion By 2025 |Grand View Research, Inc.
The global anti-pollution mask market size is
expected to reach USD 4.8 billion by
2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a 9.3% CAGR over the forecast period.
Factors such as rising need for remedial measures to address increased
pollution levels and high rate of awareness regarding health and well-being are
expected to remain prominent trends in the global market. Growing urbanization
and industrialization, particularly in developing regions such as India and
China, plays a predominant role in increasing pollution levels across the
globe. In addition, increasing number of vehicles adds to degradation of the
air quality. These factors play a major role in driving demand for
anti-pollution masks.
Anti-pollution masks are available in different standard
ratings such as N95, N99, N100, P95, and P100, which is recommended by The
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), an association
of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). P rated masks are
resistant to oil-based particles and are used in occupations that cause workers
to be exposed to oil particles. N rated masks, on the other hand, are not
resistant to oil-based pollutants. N95 masks filter up to 95% of the
particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5), while N99 masks filter up to 99% of PM2.5 owing
to higher rate of filtration.
Anti-pollution masks are
designed protect wearers from a host of pollutants in the air. To ensure
effective protection, users are required to wear a well-fitted mask of proper
size, which covers the nose, mouth, and chin without leaving any gaps. Masks
that are irregular in shape, cause leakages, or have reached their filtering
capacity can prove to be ineffective.
Key manufacturers include 3M; Honeywell International Inc.; KCWW; Totobobo Pte. Ltd.; MSA;
RESPRO; Ohlone Press LLC; idMASK Co., Ltd; NIRVANA BEING; and Reckitt Benckiser
Group plc. Several industry participants are focusing on product innovation
as their key strategy to increase market share. In January 2018, Reckitt
Benckiser Group plc. brand, Dettol, launched an air protect mask on several
e-commerce sites. The product features two replaceable filters and provides
protection against PM 2.5, bacteria, dust, and pollen.

The industry is highly competitive in
nature with main players including 3M; Honeywell International Inc.; KCWW;
Totobobo Pte. Ltd.; MSA; and RESPRO.
Soaring urbanization
as well as industrialization rate in developing economies such as China and
India poses an alarming threat to pollution levels. In the wake of safety and
well-being of consumers, the industrial sector poses stringent government
regulations for employees in offices, factories, and construction areas. The increasing
trend of online purchasing through portals such as Amazon, Alibaba, and
Snapdeal will help boost revenue generation.
Manufacturers are
constantly looking to introduce newer products in the market in order to
provide a variety of options to customers. For instance, in December 2017,
Clean Air Store, an e-commerce portal that provides protection from household
and outdoor pollution, launched the RespoKare Mask. The product features a
pollution indicator that conveys the level of NO2 gas exposure by the wearer.
Disposable mask formed the largest product segment,
accounting for more than 50.0% of the market in 2018. Rising pollution levels
across the globe have forced government bodies to lay down stringent
regulations regarding pollution control and come up with effective and
actionable solutions. Disposable anti-pollution masks are manufactured from
low-cost viable materials, which consist of multiple layers of non-woven fabric
material. These layers provide liquid resistance and help in preventing perspiration,
facial hair, and saliva in interfering with the mask. The other layers are
produced from non-woven, melt blown, and liquid resistant polypropylene. It
helps in creating a barrier against bacteria, body fluids, and particulate
contaminants. The durability of the product is relatively lesser, ranging from
months to years, depending on the level of filters.
