Market Dynamics

The prevalence of infectious diseases such as anthrax and influenza has escalated the growth of global disposable face mask market. Increasing concerns regarding the protection of healthcare workers such as doctors, nurses, etc. from these contagious diseases served as one of the major boosters for the market growth. Increasing airborne infections such as chicken-pox and measles has encouraged both large-scale and small-scale healthcare facility providers to include surgical face masks in their workplaces.
