The availability of counterfeit and low-quality face masks in the market is a major restraint for the protective face masks industry. These substandard products not only fail to provide adequate protection but also pose health risks to the users. This undermines consumer confidence and hampers the overall growth of the market.
The fluctuating prices of raw materials used in the production of protective face masks pose a challenge for manufacturers. Price volatility can impact profit margins and hinder the market growth. Additionally, stringent regulations and quality standards imposed by regulatory bodies can further increase the production costs, making it difficult for small manufacturers to compete in the market.
