U.S. MEDICAL MASK MARKET SEGMENTATION

The U.S. medical mask market research report includes a detailed segmentation by product, end-users, and geography. Surgical masks are considered as the primary standard of protection and are used by medical professionals in low, medium, or high level medical and experimental laboratory procedures. The segment has witnessed a steep increase since the spread of novel coronavirus across the globe. The medical masks for coronavirus can prevent the spread of the virus as they act as a barrier and can easily contain liquid particles (respiratory droplets and aerosols). With the FDA recognizing the need for protective gear and equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak, healthcare organizations offer adequate guidelines to manufacturers to maintain seamless manufacturing and supply and avoid shortage of personal protective equipment across the region. This, in turn, will further contribute to the growth of the segment.

In 2019, the hospital end-user segment accounted for over 57% volume share of the U.S. medical mask market. The market is growing at a healthy rate, which is likely to grow during the forecast period due to the high adoption of the latest generation treatment practices with standard hygiene and safety measures. As the majority of patients with a high risk of diseases prefer visiting hospitals for treatment due to advanced infrastructure care facilities, the hospital segment is expected to grow during the forecast period.

The clinic end-users segment constituted a 12% volume share of the U.S. medical mask market in 2019. The rising prevalence of several acute and chronic diseases and associated surgeries, infections, and injuries are expected to drive the clinic's medical face mask market in North America. HCPs in clinics use these protective devices for effective barrier protection for themselves and patients while treating patients with diseases. The increased importance of mobile health clinics in the region is also driving the rising uptake of medical face masks as PPE during the forecast period.
