Healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator Market Size - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Opportunities and Forecast 2021 - 2028
From 2021 to 2028, the Global Healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator Market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 10.3%, from US$ 303.3 Million in 2020 to US$ 647.6 Million in 2028.
A powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) is an air purifying respirator that works by forcing air through filter cartridges and into the users breathing zone. The N95 FFRs or reusable elastomeric non-powered air-purifying half-face piece (half mask) provides airflow a loose-fitting hood or helmet or inside a tight-fitting face piece, offering a higher assigned protection factor (APF). During the COVID-19 pandemic, high infectivity paired with a high case fatality rate put a premium on healthcare worker (HCW) protection, both personally and societally. In recent decades, there have been several major outbreaks of virulent highly infectious viruses, including the Ebola crisis, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic caused by SARS-CoV-1.

Market Dynamics
The global healthcare powered air-purifying respirator market is primarily driven by the growing number of infectious diseases such as coronavirus, ebola, MERS-CoV, SARS across the world. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by coronavirus 2 that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). As of April 2020, approximately 1.9 million cases had been documented in 210 countries and territories, resulting in over 123,000 deaths. The pandemic has led in travel restrictions and nationwide lockdowns in a number of countries. As a result of the unexpected surges in patient volume during the COVID-19 outburst, the closing of borders and restrictions on international shipping, and the temporary shutdown of medical supply manufacturers, ventilators, personal protective equipment (PPE), and associated consumables, as well as many other medical supplies, have become scarce.
Increasing emphasis on hygiene in healthcare facilities is another factor propelling the demand for healthcare powered air purifying respirator market. Healthcare PAPRs are necessary for healthcare practitioners to limit the risk of exposure to secretions, bodily fluids, and excretions when caring for patients, and they also serve as an important healthcare wearable. Thus, healthcare PAPR is widely used, and several worldwide health organizations recommend it as a treatment option.
Stringent regulations for the use of PAPR are likely to create numerous growth opportunities for the market in the coming years. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) approval of high-efficiency (HE) particle filters incorporated into PAPRs is required under current regulatory criteria. The NIOSH National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory has recognized the necessity to expand the use of PAPRs in the workplace and offer a superior range of solutions for today's work practices. Although the present PAPR approval programme provides proven protections, new interim standards have the potential to extend that protection to smaller, lighter devices that may be more comfortable to use.
Market Insights
Product type and geography are the two segments that make up the global healthcare powered air purifying respirator market. The product type segment is further bifurcated into the half mask, full face mask, and helmets, hoods & visors. Half mask among the product type segment achieved a substantial amount of share in 2020. Half masks offer the same level of protection as N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) and can be used to supplement the total respirator supply available to healthcare and emergency medical services (EMS) professionals. They do, however, require regular maintenance and a supply of replaceable parts such as straps, inhalation and exhalation valves, valve covers, filters, cartridges, or canisters. Meanwhile, the full face mask is anticipated to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period.
Healthcare Powered Air Purifying Respirator Market Regional Overview
Based on regions, the global healthcare powered air purifying respirator market is classified into Asia-Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2020, the North American region conquered most of the global healthcare powered air purifying respirator industry share. Regulatory authorities such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American National Standard Institution (ANSI) have imposed severe occupational health and safety standards on enterprises in the region, requiring them to use PAPR to ensure employee safety. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to attain the fastest growth rate throughout the forecast period 2021 – 2028.
