Increasing customer awareness about health conditions due to rising cases of infectious diseases is a crucial factor in the disease-resistant mask market growth and demand for the disease-resistant mask. However, the rise in popularity, as well as the high prices associated with face masks such as N95 respirators, surgical masks, dust masks, etc., have led to the advent of low-quality and lower-priced counterfeit brands.

Disease resistant masks that have extremely low breathing resistance are increasingly becoming popular among consumers since they provide comfort as well as protection from germs.

Bacteria and other micro-organisms that discharge from a patient’s mouth can increase contamination rates between patients and doctors, courtesy of the patient’s infected blood or other body fluids. Thus, disease-resistant masks are growing in demand to provide protection for healthcare personnel.

The growing awareness of the necessity to stay fit and healthy is surging the fitness industry to mandate the adoption of disease-resistant masks amongst their customers.

Manufacturers are strategizing to promote their products and services on social media platforms due to the rise in internet penetration. This is because social media marketing of their products and increased awareness create a positive environment toward the importance of wearing disposable masks in public and community settings. This in turn is boosting the disease resistant mask market key trends and opportunities.
