Freedonia Market Research Press Releases Global Face Shield Demand Shows Extraordinary Short Term Growth

Global Face Shield Demand Shows Extraordinary Short Term Growth

by Corinne Gangloff

June 10, 2020

Historically, face shields have generally been used in a small percentage of medical procedures that pose an above average risk of exposure to bodily fluids. However, in 2020 global demand for face shields boomed and is expected to post a 312% growth rate. According to analysts at The Freedonia Group, face shields are being seen as a solution to the current shortage of face masks.

Face shields offer a number benefits, both in terms of hygiene and supply. They:

  • allow face masks to be used longer
  • provide coverage of the wearer’s entire face
  • are easy to produce
  • have not faced the same raw material shortages that masks have

Freedonia analysts expect demand growth for face shields to return to more sustainable levels of 7.6% annually through 2024.

Learn more about the historical and forecasted trends for disposable and reusable face shields in the new report Global Medical Face Shields: COVID-19 Impact Analysis Brief. The report also provides perspective with analysis of coronavirus trends, global economic outlook, patient activity, and regional face shield demand trends.
