According to 6Wresearch, the India Disposable Mask Market size is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 17% during 2025-2031.

Moreover, the Indian government has also taken several initiatives to improve the country's healthcare system, creating a favourable environment for the growth of the disposable mask market.

Despite the growing demand for disposable masks in India, price sensitivity is a significant challenge for manufacturers and suppliers.
