The United States disposable masks market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period, with an expected valuation of USD 2.1 billion by 2033. The increasing focus on personal safety and protection from airborne diseases and air pollution is anticipated to drive growth in this sector.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 68 million tons of pollution were released into the atmosphere in 2020. This high level of air pollution contributes to respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis. As the prevalence of these conditions rises, more individuals are turning to disposable face masks, which is expected to further boost sales in the disposable masks market.
The global disposable masks market is set to experience significant growth, with projections estimating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2023 to 2033. Expected to reach a market size of USD 10.8 billion by 2033, the market is already valued at USD 5.3 billion in 2023, according to a recent comprehensive research report.
The report highlights the dynamic nature of the disposable masks market, driven primarily by the increased demand for advanced fabric and multi-layer masks. The pandemic has cemented disposable masks as an essential item in both healthcare settings and daily life, significantly boosting their market presence. In the aftermath of COVID-19, these masks are being used extensively to prevent cross-contamination in surgeries and outpatient procedures.
