N95 is widely used as a protective mask designed to achieve close facial fit with efficient filtration of airborne particles. It is designated as “N95” because it blocks at least ninety-five percent of small test particles (0.3 microns). Increasing air pollution all around the globe is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, the availability of substitutes is anticipated to restrain the growth of the market in the coming years. For instance, Cummins and DuPont recently partnered to make an N95 mask alternative to support healthcare workers meeting the growing demand for respirator masks.

Rising air pollution

The unhealthy air quality is a warning of air pollution that has gripped the entire world, and the polluted air is leading to a number of health problems. According to the World Bank, air pollution kills nearly seven million people every year. The combined impact of outdoor and indoor pollution causes 7 million premature deaths, largely as a result of increased mortality from stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, lung cancer, and acute respiratory infections. While all the countries are affected, rapidly growing cities in South East Asia and the western pacific are the most affected, with many showing pollution levels at least five times the World Health Organisation recommended levels.

Increasing per capita healthcare spending in various developing countries

It is considered one of the prime drivers for the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development data, the per capita healthcare spending in Indonesia has increased from 162 USD in 2008 to nearly 350 USD by the end of 2018. Both public and private players are investing heavily in developing countries to meet the growing demand for the N95 mask as health awareness grows.
