As the need for safety and precautions is on the high rise, it has become important for the government and private bodies to develop healthy healthcare infrastructure in the healthcare sector. Although there are many healthcare providers worldwide, new entry by investors or private bodies into the healthcare system is on the rise to provide the best facility of care to the ones in need.
For example, the Government of China is providing funding for the establishment of manufacturing facilities for the production of surgical a mask and other medical personal protective equipment. Such initiatives are expected to enhance existing standards and identify gaps in the industry, which in turn is expected to boost the coordinated growth of stakeholders in the surgical mask market.
Increasing government initiatives significantly benefits the market. The government and non-profit organizations are collaborating and coordinating standards to accelerate innovation and production of surgical face masks including disposable surgical masks, which is anticipated to provide huge growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
Leading manufacturers and researchers are focusing on expanding their product portfolio by constantly investing in research activities, either by collaborations or entering a research contract with highly authorized research institutes to innovate and develop new ideas in innovative surgical masks.

The consumption of labeled surgical masks is increasing due to rising infectious diseases and surgical procedures. COVID-19 has made it crucial to use it in day-to-day activities while stepping out of the house. But before manufacturing or introducing surgical masks, especially anesthesia or laryngeal masks, the company needs to consider some regulatory protocols defined by the regulatory authority within the region.
Manufacturing a laryngeal mask differs from that of a conventional medical device in terms of the technique used, which might require distinct or additional sorts of quality checks & testing. However, currently, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) considers both laryngeal masks and conventional medical devices in the same category.
To get hold of FDA approval, the new instrument must go through the technique of accomplishing premarket approval or its manufacturers should confirm that the brand-new instrument corresponds to the existing product which is already being advertised for the same use.
Traditional production practices are being hampered via surgical mask technology, especially for small-scale manufacturing and prototyping. The two FDA laboratories specifically, ‘Functional Performance and Instrument Use Laboratory’ and ‘Laboratory for Solid Mechanics’ are supervising how anesthesia masks may influence the manner clinical instruments are manufactured. These reasons are expected to hold back the growth of the surgical mask market soon.
