Surgical Mask Market Overview: 2025

The India surgical mask market was valued at $58 million in 2017, and is expected to reach $95 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2018 to 2025. 

Surgical masks are made using synthetic material, such as polypropylene fabric or disposable linen. They are commonly used in surgical procedures, serving as a barrier to microorganisms and help prevent cross-contamination.

 The key factors that boost the growth of the India surgical mask market include rapid developments in nonwovens production technology, increase in focus toward preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), and improvement in healthcare infrastructure & services. In addition, surge in disposable income, rise in health awareness, and significant increase in geriatric population supplement the market growth. However, the increase in popularity of less invasive surgeries impede the growth of this market. Conversely, innovations in nanotechnology and its increased use in medical nonwoven disposables production are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market expansion in the near future.

 Based on product, the India surgical mask market is categorized into basic surgical mask, anti-fog surgical mask, fluid/splash-resistant surgical mask, N95 mask, and others. The basic surgical mask segment was the highest contributor to the market in 2017, and is anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. However, the anti-fog surgical mask segment is expected to register higher growth rate from 2018 to 2025, owing to rise in aging population and innovation with respect to product development. Based on the distribution channel, the India surgical mask market is divided into hospitals & clinics, drug stores, and online stores. Drug stores was the most dominant channel for the distribution of surgical masks and has the largest market share in the India surgical mask market followed by online stores.
