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.

Why does the blister packaging manufacturer use PVC?

We have seen that a good PVC blister packaging manufacturer always uses PVC as its prime raw material. PVC as raw material Resistance Gear: When a blister manufacturing company uses PVC as raw material, the inside contents are protected from liquids such as water and water vapour by the thermoformed polymer. The back cover acts as a shield to complete the entire cover. The water resistance of the back lid of the blister package is made of PVC which makes an efficient gear for the item.

Does wearing double face masks can protect you more?

Most office goers are in dilemma- to wear or not to wear face masks. On one hand, OSHA has clearly recommended employers ask workers to wear face masks and face coverings whenever at work. And on another hand, the CDC initially discouraged all people from wearing masks, and reversed the saying in early April to “everyone should wear a mask at all times”. With so much of a pandemic going on, information is not-so-realistic. So, commoners, as well as frontline workers, tend to buy a lot of face masks online to stay abreast of the ongoing situation.
