MEA N95 Masks Market

Market Introduction

Middle East & Africa consists of three major countries namely United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and South Africa. UAE is the largest market for N95 Masks. The market is driven by the factors such as increasing government initiatives and rising in prevalence of respiratory disease. Saudi Arabia's N95 mask market is anticipated to witness a strong upsurge in the revenues during the forecast period on the back of growing consumer awareness regarding personal hygiene, rise in air pollutants, and deleterious viruses. Moreover, the fine, ranging from $226 to $2666, imposed by Saudi Ministry of Interior (MOI) due to the COVID outbreak, on those who don’t wear masks would contribute significantly to the demand for masks in the country during 2020-21. However, rising prevalence of counterfeit products, both in physical stores and on online platforms, and instances of numerous producers labeling their products with fake brand names of reputed medical supply manufactures, are expected to restrain market growth in the next few years. Tremendous growth potential in developing economies is the major factor driving the growth of the MEA N95 masks market.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit already stagnant and macroeconomically fragile economies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) through lockdown measures, interrupted supply chains, dramatic declines in tourism revenues and labour remittances, and temporarily low oil prices. Iran was one of the early victims of the pandemic, with a first wave of fatal cases as early as March 2020. However, the pandemic has positively impacted the market. The Ministry of Health (MOH) has launched an awareness campaign under the theme “Oyounak Takfi”, with the aim of reminding all community members about the importance of wearing the face mask everywhere to curb the spread of the COVID-19 infection. Moreover, the Iranian government announced in 2020 that it is to launch West Asia’s largest N95 mask plant with a production capacity of 4 million per day, relying on electrospun nanofiber technology. The plant will reduce the demand for imports now that the world is in drastically short supply of face masks to manage the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. According to other officials, the face mask output of the plant in Eshtehard, which could go beyond 4 million a day, would be double the current production capacity for the personal protective equipment (PPE) in entire Iran. Collectively, the rising cases of covid and government support along with awareness regarding the use of masks will foster the market growth in the study period.
