Surgical and respiratory masks are generally used in hospitals, and health care centers for surgical purposes, as well as respiratory masks for general breathing purposes. A surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. These are often referred to as face masks, although not all face masks are regulated as surgical masks. Note that the edges of the mask are not designed to form a seal around the nose and mouth. An N95 respirator is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles. Note that the edges of the respirator are designed to form a seal around the nose and mouth.

Market Dynamics

The key market players are focusing on the adoption of growth strategies such as acquisitions as well as partnerships which are attributed to the growth of the Australia & New Zealand surgical and respiratory mask market. For instance, in August 2020, O2TODAY, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) company that develops and commercializes face masks for medical and non-medical applications, announced that it had entered into a joint development agreement with SINTX Technologies, Inc., a spinal and orthopedic implant company using its silicon nitride ceramic tech to develop spine and total joint implants. The goal of this agreement is to develop a safe and effective consumer face mask with broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral activity, based on incorporating SINTX’s unique silicon nitride powder into the mask filter and fabric. The successful development of such a product may help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases by catching and inactivating SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses and bacteria in the mask itself before they can enter the human body.
