Opportunities and Forecasts for Surgical Masks in India

A surgical mask is a disposable device that covers the mouth and nose during medical procedures. It prevents the spread of infection between diseased and healthy ones. Surgical masks are typically used in health facilities like hospitals, clinics, emergency departments, out-patient facilities, residential care facilities, emergency medical services and even home health care deliveries. The Indian surgical mask market was valued at $71.73 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $157.13 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 10.3% from 2020 to 2027.


Brief review

Distribution channel segment: 
These channels are used to sell a disposable piece of equipment from the manufacturer end to the wholesaler end. Disposable masks are available in India through a variety of outlets, including hospitals and clinics, medicine stores, and online retailers. The fastest-growing distributors of surgical masks are online businesses, followed by drug stores and hospitals. Due to the convenience of providing customers with bulk purchases and the ease of shipping these masks straight to their doorstep, online distribution of these masks through e-commerce is predicted to considerably drive sales throughout the forecast period.

Sales Channel segment: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, India implemented state-wide lockdown and social distancing measures, preventing many enterprises from selling their products and services to end consumers. During the viral outbreak, the Indian government imposed many restrictions on manufacturing units in terms of logistics, material procurement, and labour numbers. As a result, e-commerce platforms like Smart medical buyer, IndiaMart, Amazon, 1mg.com, Flipkart, and Pharmeasy have repurposed their online digital marketplaces to help connect surgical mask makers with wholesalers, retailers, and distributors in India. These platforms enable mask makers to sell their medical disposable items in large quantities, such as disposable masks, gloves, sanitiser, and protective suits, by matching their orders and taking into account delivery time, volume, and distance.
