Drug stores sell a wide range of healthcare products and medicines. Customers can buy both over-the-counter and prescription medication at drug stores. The recent COVID-19 outbreak across the world had resulted in a supply shortage of surgical masks in most of the drug stores across the world. Therefore, most drug stores have raised the price of surgical masks.
- Europe will offer several growth opportunities to market vendors during the forecast period.

Market growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in other regions.

Frequent Outbreak of Epidemics will be a Key Market Trend
The frequent outbreak of epidemics, one of the significant surgical masks market trends, will also influence the growth of the market in focus. Flu or any other disease can turn into an epidemic due to delays in implementing control measures or the absence of control measures, poor sanitation, and weak immunity among the indigenous population against the disease. Surgical masks play an important role in containing and preventing the outbreak of airborne diseases. The most recent example of such an epidemic is the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). COVID-19 has originated in China in December 2019 and has spread to almost every part of the world. The cure for treating this disease is yet to be discovered, and the use of surgical masks is suggested by healthcare experts to prevent community spread. Such factors will have a significant impact on the demand for surgical masks during the forecast period.
