Due to the large initial investment required in heavy gear such as hoppers, extruders, and melt spinning systems, PP electret melt-blown nonwoven is a specialist fabric manufactured by a few firms in the protective mask market throughout the world. These considerations make it difficult for newcomers to get into the protective mask market.

Dust, fashion, and pitta masks are the other protective mask segments in the protective mask market.

Due to the increased usage of fashion masks as a preventive precaution during the COVID-19 crisis, other protective masks are expected to develop rapidly throughout the projection period.
