Global Face Mask Detection Market Analysis

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 corona virus outbreak, the wearing of face masks in public is becoming more mandatory. COVID- 19 infected almost five million people in 188 countries in less than six months. The virus is propagated by close contact particularly in congested and overcrowded environments. With the use of modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), big data, and machine learning (ML), spread of virus can be mitigated in the short term. Many countries have regulations requiring people to wear face masks in public. In public spaces, however, monitoring big gatherings of individuals is getting more challenging. Owing to this, face mask detection solutions in conjunction with surveillance cameras have helped to prevent COVID-19 transmission by detecting people who aren't wearing face masks. Moreover, increasing need to mitigate the spread of the new variants of coronavirus, use of face masks, and its detection in public for monitoring will lead to market growth across the world.

Precision in face mask detection and privacy & security concerns among public are likely impede the growth of the market.

However, use of computer vision and machine learning techniques in detection of face masks for enhanced accuracy will present new opportunities for the vendors in the market.

Along with company profiles of the key players in the market, the report includes the Porter’s five forces model that gives deep insights into the competitive environment of the market.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis for the Global Face Mask Detection Market:

• Bargaining Power of Suppliers: There is a scarcity of software professionals with experienced deploying artificial intelligence and machine learning. AI and ML technology being at nascent stage, organizations will have to bear exorbitant cost in recruiting talented professionals.
  Thus, the bargaining power of the suppliers is high.
• Bargaining Power of Buyers: Because there are few industry competitors in the face mask detection market, purchasers have little bargaining power. However, buyers' switching costs are cheap, and enterprises' product differentiation is limited, reducing vendors' bargaining leverage.
  Thus, the bargaining power of the buyers is moderate.
• Threat of New Entrants: Because of low capital investment and economies of scale, the information technology industry has few entry barriers, allowing new entrants to start their own business. However, the technologically advanced items offered by the major manufacturers may make it more difficult for new entrepreneurs to enter the market.
  Thus, the threat of the new entrants is moderate.
• Threat of Substitutes: The deployment of CCTV and manual monitoring by authorities is the time-consuming activity in terms of competition. Furthermore, because the technology is new, there is no comparable substitute on the market.
  Thus, the threat of substitutes is low.
• Competitive Rivalry in the Market: With a large number of small businesses, the market is inherently fragmented. Competition competitiveness in the market is projected to rise over the projection period due to price differential, low capital investment, and low entry barriers.
  Therefore, the competitive rivalry in the market is moderate.
