A face shield is a personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect the wearer's face from a physical hazard, chemical splashes, energy or radiation, and biological hazards. They provide a high level of protection for the wearer. Face shields come in various forms, such as reusable or disposable, but all provide a clear plastic barrier that covers the face. Polymers derived from the oil, such as propionate, acetate, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, and polycarbonate, are widely used to manufacture these face shields. The demand or use of face shields had increased due to the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Market Dynamics:

Emergence of COVID-19 (ongoing pandemic) around the world is expected to propel growth of the global face shields market over the forecast period. Wearing face shields is recommended as part of personal protective equipment (PPE) and as a public health measure to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). For instance, in April 2020, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) designed disposable face shields (in response to COVID-19) that can be mass produced quickly to address hospitals’ needs nationwide.

Moreover, the manufacturer also planned to ramp up and increase the rate of manufacturing further with the ability to fabricate in more than 80 facilities nationwide.
