Disposable Face Mask Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The global disposable face mask market size exceeded a value of USD 74.90 billion in Q1 of 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 53.0% from 2020 to 2027. The unprecedented spread of coronavirus worldwide, most notably in Europe and North America, is driving the demand for disposable face masks. Disposable face covers are extensively used in the healthcare sector. The proliferating OPD sessions and surgeries on a daily basis across the globe are anticipated to drive product demand within the healthcare sector. The function of disposable face masks is to reduce or eliminate the chances of being affected by potential environmental contaminants. Disposable face covers are typically made from non-woven fabric and are usually available in a multi-layer (two- or three-layer) form.

Disposable face masks are popular among health care professionals who constantly attend patients or perform surgeries. These masks protect health care professionals from harmful bacteria that may ooze out either in the form of aerosols and liquid droplets from patient's mouth. The virus or harmful bacteria can also get spread in the form of body fluids or infectious blood. Thus, these masks act as a protective barrier and help eliminate or reduce the chances of cross-contamination among surgeons and patients.

The demand for disposable face masks is likely to be driven by the rising popularity of online shopping platforms. In this regard, Amazon.com, Inc. and eBay Inc. are among the biggest online players contributing significantly to the distribution of the product. Furthermore, the popularity of online sales has been creating a healthy demand for disposable designer face masks, most notably among affluent consumers worldwide. Such trends are expected to sustain throughout the forecast timeframe.

A key factor challenging the growth of the industry is the rising prevalence of counterfeit products both in physical stores and on online platforms. The counterfeit masks are usually made in unsterile sweatshops that were previously used to manufacture designer jeans or fake handbags. In this regard, there have been instances of numerous producers labelling their products with fake brand names of reputed medical supply manufacturers, such as 3M. Such factors are expected to restrain market growth throughout the forecast period.

Rising consumer awareness regarding airborne infections has been creating a healthy demand for the product, most notably for personal use. In this respect, a rise in outbreaks as regards airborne diseases in the recent past has been contributing significantly to the demand for disposable face masks among the general public. A trend that has been gripping the market is the increasing consumption of surgical masks for personal use.

Product Insights

Among products, protective face masks segment dominated the overall industry, accounting for a share of 35.8% in 2019. This type of disposable face cover also includes air-purifying respirators. The other two segments that make up the overall disposable face masks market are dust masks and non-woven masks.

Protective face covers have certain advantages for users with respiratory issues such as asthma or lung disease. Users with cardiovascular diseases also prefer them. Protective masks such as N95 are known to offer more protection to health care workers performing medical procedures that expose them to patients' respiratory secretion.

Non-woven masks are manufactured using variants such as polypropylene to provide protection against various types of infections at workplaces. These masks do not contain latex, , and DEPH material. Non-woven face covers are principally used in the hospital industry and are manufactured using two to three layers of protection. Users prefer these masks for the superior protection they offer against allergic reactions to consumers with sensitive skin.

Distribution Channel Insights

The offline segment emerged as the largest in 2019, with a market share of 80.7%. This segment is likely to retain its pole position throughout the forecast period. Numerous brands prefer to sell their products through drug stores and pharmacies as these stores showcase a wide variety of disposable face masks. From a consumption standpoint, visiting these stores helps consumers compare different products in terms of material used and quality.

E-commerce has significantly changed the shopping habits of people as it offers benefits such as door-step delivery, substantial discounts, and availability of a wide range of products through one platform. Key players in the market are increasingly launching e-commerce websites, most notably in emerging markets owing to the rising popularity of online shopping among millennials and young population.

Application Insights

By application, the industry is segmented into two categories, namely industrial and personal, wherein the industrial segment dominated the overall industry revenues in 2019, with a share of over 80.0%. This segment is also anticipated to retain its prominent position throughout the forecast timeframe. Disposable face covers intended for industrial applications are principally used by healthcare professionals and workers at agricultural and construction sites. The growth of this segment is driven by mushrooming of hospitals across the globe.

The global rise in the frequency of air-borne diseases and pollution level has been encouraging a sizable number of consumers to opt for personal disposable face masks. With consumers looking out for options to keep themselves safe from virus-related pandemics, prominent manufacturers are focusing on increasing their scale of operation in regards to manufacturing of disposable face masks for personal use.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific emerged as the largest market for disposable face masks in 2019, having accounted for a market share of 33.7% in 2019. Manufacturers operating in this region are benefiting from the presence of a large customer base, most notably in countries such as China and India. China and India are also among the most substantial disposable face masks' manufacturing countries in the world.

North America is forecast to progress at the highest CAGR over the projected timeframe. Led by countries such as U.S. and China, the demand for disposable face masks in North America is driven by an expanding consumer base, backed by rising awareness regarding health and personal hygiene. The coronavirus outbreak is likely to contribute massively to the growth of the market in North America with various governments, encouraging the habit of personal hygiene among consumers.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The disposable face masks industry houses both international and domestic market players. Prominent market participants compete on the basis of price and product quality. Small and medium-sized market players are expected to show considerable improvements in the foreseeable future, given the moderate level of capital expenditure needed to set up a business. The large-sized companies, however, are likely to aim for global expansion, in a bid to gain a more considerable brand reputation. Capacity expansion is expected to remain as the preferred competitive strategy for prominent market participants to stay competitive. For instance, In March 2020, Honeywell expanded its production capabilities in Phoenix to produce N95 face mask in support of the U.S. government's response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Some of the prominent players in the disposable face mask market include:

Singapore core inflation falls into negative territory for the first time in a decade

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
(Updated: )

SINGAPORE: Singapore's main price gauge slipped into deflation for the first time in more than a decade in February, data showed on Monday (Mar 23).

Prices fell 0.1 per cent from a year earlier, according to a joint release by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI).

Economists polled by Reuters had been expecting a 0.1 per cent rise in core inflation but instead declines in airfares and holiday expenses due to the coronavirus pandemic led to deflation for the first time since January 2010.

Core inflation - a key policy consideration for the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) - excludes the price of private transport and accommodation.

"In the quarters ahead, external sources of inflation are likely to remain benign, amid weak demand conditions and generally well‐supplied food and oil commodity markets," MTI and MAS said.

They added that oil prices declined sharply in March and could stay depressed for an extended period amid the global economic slowdown and an anticipated rise in oil supply.

But international measures to contain the COVID‐19 outbreak have led to supply chain disruptions, which could put some upward pressure on imported food prices, the joint statement added.

Singapore's headline consumer price index rose 0.3 per cent from a year earlier, slightly below poll expectations of 0.35 per cent.

Private transport inflation was lower in February at 2.4 per cent year-on-year from 4.6 per cent in the previous month. This was due to a smaller increase in car and petrol prices.

Food inflation edged down by 0.1 per cent from 1.7 per cent in January as the prices of prepared meals recorded smaller increased while non‐cooked food inflation was broadly unchanged.

The cost of electricity and gas fell at a slower pace to -7.4 per cent year-on-year in February as the Open Electricity Market (OEM) had a smaller dampening effect on electricity prices, following a slowdown in new take‐up rates.

Accommodation costs registered a larger increase at 0.4 per cent year-on-year in February - up from 0.3 per cent in January - in line with a stronger pickup in housing rentals.

SUBDUED INFLATIONARY PRESSURES EXPECTED IN NEAR TERM
The cost of retail and other goods fell at a more gradual pace to -1.0 per cent in February from the -1.4 per cent in January, as clothing and footwear items and medicines and health products recorded smaller price declines.

"The COVID‐19 outbreak has weighed heavily on the aviation and tourism industries, which could in turn lower the prices of travel‐related items in the CPI basket. In addition, the implementation of safe distancing measures and fall in tourist arrivals have dampened consumer demand, and will cap any price increases for discretionary goods and services," the authorities said.

Labour market conditions are expected to continue to soften and dampen wage growth in 2020.

With the economic uncertainty is also likely to discourage firms from passing any cost increases to consumers, they added.

"Inflationary pressures are thus expected to remain subdued in the near term," the joint statement said.

The authorities added that they will closely monitor price trends and assess the impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak on inflation.

The MAS Core Inflation and CPI‐All Items inflation forecast ranges will be released in MAS' upcoming Monetary Policy Statement.

Singapore's Q3 resident employment surges by 43,200; MOM now 'cautiously optimistic'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SINGAPORE'S resident employment staged a strong rebound in the third quarter of 2020, lifting resident employment levels to near pre-pandemic levels, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) officials said on Thursday as they expressed "cautious optimism" about the labour market.

Resident employment jumped 43,200 to 2.34 million in September, which is just a notch below September 2019 figure of 2.35 million, according to the Labour Market Report Q3 2020.

Non-resident employment, excluding foreign domestic workers, however, contracted by 72,300 in Q3, even more sharply than the first half of the year. This led to a contraction of 29,100 in total employment for Q3, easing from the contraction of 103,800 in Q2, when Singapore was on a partial economic shutdown.

As a result, nearly nine in 10 of the total employment decline of 158,700 in the first three quarters of the year is now due to non-residents. Resident employment fell by 19,600 during this period.

The construction and manufacturing sectors saw the largest contraction in employment in Q3 at 16,700 and 15,000 respectively, due to a decline in foreign employment, even though manufacturing has been widely seen as a bright spot in the Republic's economic recovery.

Retrenchments rose by 9,120 in Q3, compared with 8,130 in the previous quarter, surpassing all past recessionary peaks other than that for the 2009 Global Financial Crisis. This was attributed to higher retrenchments in the arts, entertainment and recreation as well as air transport-related industries, MOM said.

Overall and citizen unemployment rates were 3.6 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively in October, unchanged from September. Resident unemployment inched up from 4.7 per cent to 4.8 per cent during this period.

Explaining why the resident unemployment rate grew even as resident employment increased, Ang Boon Heng, director of manpower research and statistics at MOM, said: "It reflects retrenched workers that are out there looking for work, and it also reflects that as the economy is improving, as the labour market is improving, more people would want to come back to the labour force to look for work."

On the whole, the ministry is "cautiously optimistic" about Singapore's labour market in the coming months, although the recovery may not be smooth-sailing, he said.

Aubeck Kam, permanent secretary at MOM, said there will still be "considerable uncertainty".

"The labour market tends to lag developments in GDP (gross domestic product) growth, so if the economy recovers, the labour market will likely recover but at a delayed pace because initially, employers will have a lot of excess capacity," said Mr Kam.

Meanwhile, from April to October, nearly 60,000 job seekers have been placed into jobs and skills opportunities under the SGUnited Jobs and Skills Package, according to the 16th edition of the Jobs Situation Report. Of these, 47,400 were placed into jobs, MOM said, exceeding its original target of 40,000.

"This is a positive sign because when we conceived of the SGUnited Jobs and Skills opportunities, we knew that job seekers would more naturally prefer to take on jobs, which offer more stability, as compared to traineeships or to take up training opportunities," said Mr Kam.

As at end-October, more than 123,000 opportunities in jobs and training are available for job seekers, with about three in four of these being in jobs. The information and communications sector has both the highest number of available job openings and company-hosted traineeships, attachments and trainings - at 21,000 in total.

MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS

# data[].attributes.body
It's a start!
What you need to do now is to add in more economic content.

(1) Market Structure:  Which companies are the main producers of masks? Name these companies. Find out the market share of the dominant producers to help you identify whether the correct market structure is monopolistic competition or oligopoly. Then talk about PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION with good specific examples. (Refer to the pre-recorded lecture and then write a good analysis on this section)

All the four market structures would have a high number of buyers so this fact about there being a lot of buyers for masks does not help you to identify the correct market structure.

(2) Would you be talking about the mask industry in Singapore? You wrote
"Many local SMEs have established mask manufacturing facilities in Singapore ever since the pandemic, increasing the number of sellers, which has increased local production capacity.
- Government agencies such as the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the Economic Development Board and Enterprise Singapore have also been advising companies on setting up manufacturing facilities and many are thinking long-term for mask production."

However in your Point #2, you were writing about mask production in China.

You would need to decide which one.

(3) Demand and Supply analysis: Try to identify the specific non-price determinants of demand and non-price determinants of supply in operation (Identify the relevant ones from TENPM and TENPF). Please remember there must be a CHANGE in the determinants first. How would these determinants then shift the demand curve and supply curve for masks? And how would the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE and EQUILIBRIUM QUANTITY be changed? In your written report (to be submitted in early Feb 2021), draw the demand and supply diagram to illustrate all this.

(4) Price elasticity of demand: Generally correct. The demand for masks would be price inelastic because it is a necessity.

However the rest of that section may be outdated now. Are we still having a shortage? Check out the current price for a box of 50 surgical masks now.

Microeconomics Prelim Analysis [Based of 5 Key Sources of Information]

# data[].attributes.subject
Microeconomics Prelim Analysis [Based of 5 Key Sources of Information]

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Market structure of the mask industry: Monopolistic competition
Support from key sources:
- High number of buyers: There has been an increasing number of buyers due to outbreaks of pandemic diseases like H1N1 and COVID19, which increases the demand for face masks among frontline health workers. Individuals are also buying more N95 respirators to decrease the risk of getting COVID19 infection, even though health regulatory authorities have recommended the use of N95 respirators to be limited to healthcare workers.
- Product differentiation: The product is categorized types, material, nature.

2.  Changes in the number of buyers led to an increase in demand for masks
Support from key sources:
- China emerged as the world’s largest producer and exporter of masks over the past few years. The production of masks in normal years account for nearly 50 per cent of the global output, 70% of which is for export
- the country's recent mask production has increased ten folds to 120 million per day as the region has registered a corona positive patient count that has hit nearly 500 thousand
- Despite this, the global supply and demand gap of masks still cannot be alleviated.
- The daily production output of masks in China has been massively growing. The daily output of ordinary masks, medical masks, and medical N95 masks in China has reached 110 million, 116 million, 5.2 times and 12 times of the level as on February 1, respectively, immensely influencing the contraction between supply and demand of these masks. While the N95 masks have increased by 16 times since Feb 1
- The everyday output of face masks in China registered a valuation of 20 million,
- The annual output of masks in China in 2018 was 4.5 billion while in 2019 it was 5 billion. Now with a 330-day production duration, the daily output is likely to be 15 million.

3. Changes to the number of sellers led to the increase in supply for masks
Support from key sources:
- Many local SMEs have established mask manufacturing facilities in Singapore ever since the pandemic, increasing the number of sellers, which has increased local production capacity.
- Government agencies such as the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the Economic Development Board and Enterprise Singapore have also been advising companies on setting up manufacturing facilities and many are thinking long-term for mask production.

4. Changes in resource price led to a decrease in supply for masks

Support from key sources:
- Both the masks made for medical personnel and for consumer purchase require a once-obscure material called melt-blown fabric. It's an extremely fine mesh of synthetic polymer fibres that forms the critical inner filtration layer of a mask, allowing the wearer to breathe while reducing the inflow of possible infectious particles.
- We're talking about fibres where one filament has a diameter of less than one micron, so we are in the nano area
- The machines are not easy to make because of the exacting precision required
- You need to stretch these fibres by hot air, and [the air] needs to be in perfect condition over the width of the machine. The biggest dilemma is that many of the machines are not producing consistent quality.
- Before the outbreak, the going price for one ton of melt-blown fabric in China was under 6,000 dollars a ton. But now, it's about 60,000 dollars
- Chinese firms make nearly three million tons of nonwoven fabric a year, Less than 1% of that is melt-blown fabric

5. Demand for masks is price inelastic (buyers respond minimally to the change in price for masks) as masks are a necessity

Support from key sources:
- Mask is a necessity for Singaporeans during the period of Covid-19 in order for them to protect themselves from the virus and it is also compulsory to wear a mask in Singapore.
- Before the Covid-19, a box of 50 surgical masks ranged between $5 and $7. However, the price of the masks has now gone up to between $12.50 and $15 per box.
- Ever since the Covid-19 hits Singapore, the demand for masks has increased expeditiously, causing them to go out of stock, despite the increase in the price of the masks.

Behind The Scenes: How S'pore Face Mask Importers Are Working To Combat Supply Shortage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Entrepreneur

Since Covid-19 first hit Singapore back in January, Singaporeans scrambled to snap up masks to protect themselves. Many also hoarded masks of all varieties to prepare for a pandemic.

As the demand increased exponentially, masks soon went out of stock islandwide. Even when the stock got replenished, they were quickly wiped out as well.

A quick search on Google Trends showed that the keyword 'mask' in Singapore recorded a huge spike in interest in the last week of January and in the first week of the 'circuit breaker'.

Screenshot from Google Trends

In contrast, last year saw a rather flat outlook.

As demand hits an all-time high, Singaporeans who were not able to get their hands on masks panicked as they continued to face a shortage of masks on top of exorbitantly high prices dangled by profiteers.

Prices Increased By At Least 500% In Singapore

Pre-Covid-19, the usual price for a box of fifty surgical masks ranged between $5 and $7, according to mask importers that Vulcan Post spoke to.

Before they went out of stock at local pharmacies, Watsons and Guardian were selling them at between $12.50 and $15 per box.

After masks became scarce, prices skyrocketed and closed in on a price range of $30 to $35 per box - this is a whopping 500 per cent increase from its original price.

Scalpers were also seen trying to make a quick buck online as they too jacked up their prices. On online marketplace Carousell, prices ranged from $1.50 for a single non-reusable piece, to $30 to $40 for a box of 50.

Although the rising costs of face masks are bad news for consumers, it meant good business for face mask importers. We spoke to three of such importers to shed light on the mask situation in Singapore.

An Opportunity To Help Others In Need Of Masks

For John Menon of Anti Virus Club SG that sells medical essentials, he started the business in early February when he saw Singaporeans scrambling to get their hands on masks, sanitisers, thermometers and alcohol swabs.

"I realised my partners had stock that Singaporeans badly needed and I thought the best way to help was to make them available here," said John.

He imports surgical masks from Vietnam, he said, adding that they rival the common three-ply masks found in the market these days.

"We have two arms to the business. The consumer arm supplies to consumers who purchase for family or friends and gift the masks for good causes, while the corporate arm supplies to private clinics and other businesses including Volunteer Welfare Organisations," continued John.

Jeremy Low, the founder of Axtro Sports, a company that sells fitness tech gear, said that he initially wanted to help family members and friends who needed masks.

When customers started asking them if they stock masks, they decided to start bringing in masks through contacts they have established over the years, mainly Chinese manufacturers.

Switching Their Main Business To Importing Masks

On the other hand, some businesses in Singapore started importing masks overnight.

Among them was Ripple Technologies, a hardware/software development company for POS systems and solutions.

They started importing surgical masks from China since early March when some of their customers "complained that they could not get seem to get good quality masks in Singapore."

Before Covid-19, we were supposed to enter a few markets in Southeast Asia to distribute our hardware and we had to pause that. Due to the F&B industry and various retailers being badly affected, our hardware sales are down to almost zero.
- Steve Hu of Ripple Technologies Pte Ltd

For Axtro Sports, whose main business is selling fitness tech gear, they also starting bringing in masks. They are also the company behind the fitness trackers for National Steps Challenge.

They wanted to diversify and get their stock from multiple sources, so they imported their masks from China, namely from factories in Xiamen, Shenzhen and Zhejiang.

According to these two firms, they are simply venturing into the face mask import sector because they want to survive and retain workers. This is simply another means for them to do business.

Dealing With Bogus Suppliers Was Part And Parcel Of It

For Anti Virus Club SG, John said that he experienced a close shave with one dishonest supplier.

After almost getting cheated by another supplier, I made the decision to fly to Vietnam myself to source for multiple manufacturers that would be able to provide competitive pricing and the best possible quality of masks.

The trip was necessary to ensure the people we wanted to help got the help they needed even though it meant that I had to go on Stay-Home Notice the moment I come back.
- John Menon of Anti Virus Club SG

He also encountered factories in China that claimed they were certified, but were not being able to show the necessary certifications such as ISO standard.

This is apparently very common in China, as the country recently confiscated more than 89 million shoddy face masks.

"As a local supplier, we have had our fair share of having to sieve through scams at the supplier level. We do have companies in other countries claiming to have the stock you need but are not legitimate middle men," said John.

Meanwhile, Jeremy said that Axtro Sports has a quality control team in China to personally visit the factories to check on the quality.

Singapore Importers Face Global Shortage Of Face Masks

Before Covid-19, mask production in China accounts for 50 per cent of global mask production. In terms of mask production capacity, they are the strongest country worldwide.

To curb the supply shortage, a lot of companies have converted to manufacturing masks in China and production has increased nearly 12-fold since then.

However, China itself was facing a shortage of masks - especially in hospitals - so they were driven to import masks from other countries, such as Japan, India and the United States.

After China, the second-largest producer of face masks are countries like India, United States and Taiwan. Taiwan, in particular, produces 15 million masks a day to meet the demand for face masks.

However, as these countries raced to step up their production to meet the booming demand, there was still a global shortage of face masks.

Delays And Restrictions Exacerbated The Shortage Situation

According to Jeremy, during pre-Covid-19 days, stock typically takes 2 to 3 days to arrive via air courier from DHL or FedEx. Now, they are expecting 10 to 14 days on average for the stock to arrive.

"On April 14, the Chinese authorities clamped down on mask exports. They [expanded] export checks for all kinds of masks using Chinese ports, leading to a huge backlog in terms of PPE (personal protection equipment) at four major airports in China and seaports," he explained.

For cleanroom disposable products distributor GSG M&S Pte Ltd which supplies mostly to factories, they said that there was a restriction for the export of face masks.

"Since half of the face mask production is in China, there was a massive shortage in the months of February and March," said Roger Han of GSG M&S Pte Ltd, referring to the early days when China was the epicentre of Covid-19.

Luckily, they still had more than 300,000 masks in stock when China started the lockdown of Wuhan. The lockdown in Wuhan set the precedent for similar measures in other Chinese cities, and it did not help that there was already supply disruption due to shutdown for Chinese New Year in China in January.

Our masks are meant for our regular customers to tide through February and March, but we are also mindful that people, especially frontline service staff, were badly in need of masks to protect themselves. We have to work out exactly how many cartons of masks we can allocate to each customer and how many we can offer to sell to people who need them most.

Our priority was to sell to people or clinics that need the masks most. We also tried not to sell to distributors that would mark up [the prices] and resell them.
- Roger Han of GSG M&S Pte Ltd

Demand And Prices Show Signs Of Going Down For Now

John of Anti Virus Club SG said that the period that recorded the highest sales was ironically when the government advised Singaporeans to not wear masks if they are not unwell.

"Many customers told me that they wanted to wear masks to protect themselves from those that were not [wearing] them. So now that the stand has changed to 'we all must wear masks', people feel a lot better that everyone in public is also wearing a mask, so sales have slowed a little," said John.

"Sales was highest between end March and early April when our manufacturing customers stocked up. The demand for face masks is still strong now, but there are also many suppliers that import in directly from China. Prices are not as crazy as in February or March," said Roger.

Axtro Sports is selling at the cost price of $29 per box of fifty 3-ply disposable masks. They are looking to bring the costs down as much as possible by sea freight as costs have increased by 50 per cent in April alone by air freight.

They are bringing in about 1,000 boxes by air freight every week and only sell directly to consumers instead of resellers, in case the latter resells the masks at a higher price.

They are expecting an increase in demand again as people return to school and offices, trusting that masks will still be a part of our daily lives.

Anti Virus Club SG echoed the same thoughts. "We expect sales to pick up once people are allowed to go back to work as they do need to protect themselves while out in public daily," said John.

Face Mask Import Could Be A Bulletproof Industry

It's not a seasonal business for sure. Hospitals, factories and individuals need masks all year round.

Even after Covid-19 has blown over, face masks will continue to be a coveted commodity as they are supplied regularly to hospitals and factories.

Furthermore, we may all start to stockpile masks in our homes, fearful of the next time we have to scramble again to get our hands on basic medical supplies.

Countries too may stockpile (more) supplies to better prepare themselves when a pandemic happens again.

As citizens and medical personnel on a global level struggle with the lack of masks and eventually succumb to the virus, this pandemic has taught us a very valuable lesson: always be prepared for the future.

Behind The Scenes: How S'pore Face Mask Importers Are Working To Combat Supply Shortage

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Entrepreneur Since Covid-19 first hit Singapore back in January, Singaporeans scrambled to snap up masks to protect themselves. Many also hoarded masks of all varieties to prepare for a pandemic. As the demand increased exponentially, masks soon went out of stock islandwide. Even when the stock got replenished, they were quickly wiped out as well.

COVID-19 Has Caused A Shortage Of Face Masks. But They're Surprisingly Hard To Make

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
China now makes 200 million face masks a day - more than twenty times the amount it made at the start of February. The leap has been spurred by the outbreak of a new coronavirus. The masks include the lightweight ones that people like to wear in the hope of protection against coronavirus as well as the heavy-duty N95 masks used by health-care workers.

But that's still not nearly enough to meet local demands as well as global orders. So a scramble is now underway in China.

Mask factories are "running at 110 percent capacity," say authorities. And factories that once made shoes, iPhones and cars are being retooled to make masks. Machines that once churned out fibrous materials destined for diapers and sanitary pads are now producing materials for masks.

"Making masks is not as easy as you imagine. We have to make the ear loops and the metal strip, the packaging. There is a pretty big system involved," Guan Xunze, chairman of pharmaceutical group Shengjingtong in northeastern China, told NPR by phone. He's referring to the metal strip that lets you bend the mask around the nose bridge.

Shengjingtong is one of the thousands of companies transitioning to become part of China's mask-making " army," As the government calls it. Aided by generous government subsidies, Guan filled a sterile space in a pharmaceuticals factory he already owned with second-hand machinery to assemble the masks. Within 11 days, they were making more than 10,000 N95 masks a day. Now, it's 200,000.

Currently, of the 200 million masks China makes a day, only 600,000 are N95 standard masks, used by medical personnel, according to the National Development and Reform Commission, a state planning body. Provincial regulators have granted dozens of new licenses to open additional factories capable of producing top-grade masks, including those that meet the standards for use by health-care professionals.

But this ambitious effort has run into a bottleneck.

Both the masks made for medical personnel and for consumer purchase require a once-obscure material called melt-blown fabric. It's an extremely fine mesh of synthetic polymer fibers that forms the critical inner filtration layer of a mask, allowing the wearer to breath while reducing the inflow of possible infectious particles.

"We're talking about fibers where one filament has a diameter of less than one micron, so we are in the nano area," said Markus Müller, the sales director at German company Reicofil, a major provider of melt-blown machine lines.

And there's now a global shortage of melt-blown fabric due to the increased demand for masks - and the difficulty in producing this material.

Costing upward of 3.8 million euros ($4.23 million) apiece, the machine that creates this fabric melts down plastic material and blows it out in strands, like cotton candy, into flat sheets of melt-blown fabric for face masks and other filtration products. A similar line of machines can create a related kind of fabric, called spun-bond fabric, also used in face masks and in medical protection suits worn by health-care workers.

The machines are not easy to make because of the exacting precision required, says Müller: "You need to stretch these fibers by hot air, and [the air] needs to be in perfect condition over the width of the machine. The biggest dilemma is that many of the machines are not producing consistent quality."

Reicofil's Müller says he gets more than four dozen requests a day, mainly from China, to buy melt-blown fabric and production lines but has to turn nearly all of them away; making a single machine line takes at least five to six months.

Chinese firms make nearly three million tons of nonwoven fabric a year, according to the China Nonwoven and Industrial Textiles Association, a state industry body. Less than 1% of that is melt-blown fabric.

To fill the deficit of melt blown fabric, this month, China said state oil and gas firm Sinopec was investing 200 million yuan, or about $29 million, to start ten new melt blown production lines with production lines supplied by Sinopec subsidiary Yanshan Petrochemical.

Timothy Robson, a business development manager at Hills, Inc. in Florida, is skeptical of the quality of such production lines, which must meet precise standards to produce the kind of masks worn by medical staff. Hills Inc. is one of the handful of companies in the world that can make the hand-drilled die tips for the machines. The melted plastic is blown out through the tips.

"[These machines] are not like a toaster. It's not something you buy and then you plug in. It's an industrial process," Robson told NPR by phone. "China can be all over the place. Sometimes you think you're in a Western factory. Others are kind of like a dirt floor sort of shanty trying to pass their stuff off as good as the other guys. And maybe it is."

Chinese engineering firms say they're struggling. "We need about six months to make the machines, and it takes another month to assemble them," said Leo Liu, a sales director at Haigong Machinery, a Chinese company that assembles the machine parts for melt-blown lines imported from the US, Germany and Japan. "Everyone is considering mask manufacturing, but they don't understand the process. Once they learn the cost of these machines, they give up."

Yanshan Petrochemical says it will need only 16 days, not six months, to assemble the ten new melt blown production lines.

From the outset of the virus outbreak, face masks have been desperately in short supply, so desperate that provincial governments have seized shipments of masks destined for other localities in China.

Other local governments have called on companies in their jurisdictions to switch over into mask production.

"After being approached by Shanghai officials about converting our factory lines to making medical supplies," said Li Laibin, the president of a private bedding company, to a Chinese news outlet, "we transformed ten of our lines used to manufacturing duvet covers to making protective gowns." After using less than a handful of days to remodel its production process, Li's company dove head first into making protective gowns, reporting a daily output of around 2,000.

An underwear factory in the northwestern city of Changchun spent slightly longer - eight days - fixing frozen pipes and finding delayed shipments of raw materials to get a daily production line for 3,000 masks started, after it became licensed to operate in early February. "After the outbreak, our company set about adjusting production lines as soon as possible," a factory manager explained to reporters from the Communist party' flagship paper.

But a bottleneck of meltblown production lines means a severe shortfall of melt-blown fabric itself, sending prices soaring.

"Before the outbreak, the going price for one ton of melt-blown fabric in China was under 6,000 dollars a ton. But now, it's about 60,000 dollars," said a sales staff surnamed Guo at Xuzhong Guohong, a major supplier of melt-blown based in Hubei province, the center of virus outbreak in China. "The [shortage] issue is quite severe. Otherwise, why would the price be jacked up so high?

Guo says he still gets most orders from China, but demand from South Korea and Japan is picking up as coronavirus cases in these two countries rise.

Guan Xunze is lucky. The pharmaceutical chairman now making masks does not deal directly with fluctuating raw commodity prices because they're supplied to him by local authorities.

"Our supplies of melt-blown fabric and nonwoven fabric are all coordinated by the local and provincial governments. Originally, we had about 30 employees from our company start to make masks...the local government assigned me 180 more."

Even then Guan says it is "very hard" to make a profit.

Singapore SMEs branch out into mask manufacturing as new revenue source

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
SINGAPORE - Digital printing firm AVS Technologies faced difficulties obtaining surgical masks for its workers earlier this year but meeting that challenge has generated a new revenue stream for the company.

It set up a production facility - three machines to produce adult and child-sized masks - that became operational in May with the capacity to produce about five million masks a month.

"We went in blind during the circuit breaker period. We asked our staff in China to help us source the machines and ship them over to Singapore, and converted a storage facility (for production)," AVS Technologies general manager Kelvin Mun told The Straits Times.

The firm is among several local businesses that have branched out into mask production as a new revenue source amid the coronavirus pandemic.

AVS Technologies, which distributes digital printing products and provides services such as 3D printing and CNC (computer numerical control) milling, has invested close to $1 million to get its WellM brand of surgical masks off the ground.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) said the outbreak is showing how opportunities can emerge from difficult times.

Many local small and medium-sized enterprises have established surgical and reusable mask manufacturing facilities here since the onset of the virus outbreak, which has increased local production capacity, he said, citing medical contract manufacturer Racer Technology as one such firm.

Government agencies such as the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, the Economic Development Board and Enterprise Singapore have been advising companies on setting up manufacturing facilities and the internationally recognised standards that apply to surgical masks and N95 respirators, the MTI spokesman added.

Mr Mun said the next step for the AVS mask business is to widen its overseas reach - it exports to Malaysia and Canada and is setting up sales channels and obtaining testing approval in the United States.

"We set up our mask manufacturing as a long-term plan, and are looking at opportunities to move into medical manufacturing. (In the past few months,) when the printing business was quite quiet, the mask production has helped to grow and stabilise the company," he said.

Meanwhile, medical equipment firm Mohar Medical has been producing surgical masks at its facility here with a capacity of up to two million a month since May.

Investment firm DIP Investments, which wholly owns the brand, invested a six-figure sum that it will recoup "within the next month", said Mohar Medical managing director Jaslyn Kaur.

DIP Investments plans to invest in a second manufacturing plant in South-east Asia within the next year in response to export inquiries for five to 10 million masks over the next two months, she said, adding that Mohar Medical will add gloves and hand sanitiser to its product range by the end of the year.

Gaming company Razer, which has been dispensing its locally produced masks through vending machines here since June, said its production capacity is five million masks a month but it has the capability to double this.

The capacity was set up so the firm could meet increased demand in the future, so it has no plans to expand its production facility for now, a spokesman said.

"Our focus remains on ensuring sufficient supply of masks in the region, and we are still evaluating the long-term plan for our mask production lines," he added.

The global face mask market size was valued at $1,523.0 million in 2019, and is estimated to reach $ 2,455.4 million by 2027 with a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2027. Face mask is a type of protective mask that serves to protect against airborne diseases like COVID19, influenza, chickenpox, mumps, and measles. It is a half face mask which protects the nose, chin, and mouth. Furthermore, the outbreak of respiratory infection based pandemic diseases like H1N1 and COVID19 fuel the demand for face mask among frontline health workers such as first responders, nurses, and medical practitioners. N95 respirator masks are finding considerable use in protecting healthcare workers against job-related exposure to infectious viruses and micro-organisms. Health regulatory authorities have recommended the use of N95 respirators to be limited to healthcare workers, however, number of individuals are also buying these masks to diminish the risk of getting COVID19 infection and preventing its transmission across the globe. Therefore, such factors are significantly boosting the sales of face masks from medical outlets. This fuels the demand for face masks in the market.

Globally, millions of people are suffering from pandemic disease like COVID19 and H1N1 infectious viruses owing to which millions of people have already died. Moreover, social distancing and use of face masks is only the way to keep people away from infectious virus like COVID19. In addition, to avoid scarcity of face mask government has initiated more investment in its manufacturing activity, which fuels the growth of the face mask market. Furthermore, the U.S. government has ordered Honeywell International to expand its production of N95 masks in the country, so that masks are available for general public also.

The number of social media users have increased considerably with the rise in internet penetration. Taking this into consideration, most of the key players in the face mask market strategize on promoting their products and services on these social media platforms. Social media marketing is one of the major strategies adopted by various companies and industries on imparting awareness about their product offerings among target customers on social media channels. Thus, through social media marketing strategy, the global face mask market sights critical opportunity in gaining traction and increasing its customer reach among its target segments. However, high prices and rise in popularity of face mask such as N95 respirator, surgical mask, and dust mask have led to the advent of counterfeit brands. Counterfeit brands are usually available in the developing economies where customers are highly price-sensitive. This factor hampers the sale of the existing original face mask brands in these economies. Counterfeit brands are of low quality and often lead to inconvenience & safety issues that subsequently develop negative perceptions among customers. Online distribution channel is one of the major platforms where transaction of counterfeited brands can be easily concealed. Thus, development of the counterfeited industry is anticipated to hamper the face mask market growth.

The face mask market is segmented into type, material, nature, distribution channel, and region. By type, the market is categorized into surgical mask, N95 respirators and dust mask. By material, it is bifurcated into cotton, polypropylene, and others. By nature, it is categorized into reusable and disposable. By distribution channel, it is classified into hypermarket/supermarket, pharmacies, convenience stores, online, and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia & New Zealand, ASEAN and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa).

By type, the surgical mask segment led in terms of market share in 2019, and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period. There is an increase in the demand for surgical mask owing to its advanced usage in the field of medical surgery and diagnosis.
