Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis on the global consumer face mask market finds that the mature market is likely to drop significantly as countries worldwide are gradually lifting face mask mandates with the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine. As the threat of COVID-19 decreases, the total market of disposable face masks and non-disposable face masks is estimated to witness a negative compound annual growth rate of 39.8%, reaching $0.44 billion by 2025 from $5.6 billion in 2020. However, manufacturers' focus on producing innovative and eco-friendly masks to reduce health concerns such as pollution and flu exposure will drive the market, resulting in investments in anti-microbial technologies and nanotechnologies.
