The increasing number of mishaps involving chemical spills, radioactive particle matter diffusions, and the spread of biological threats and pandemics has resulted in an increase in demand for first responder gas masks, which is presently driving the market. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of contemporary combat has led to the incorporation of very deadly chemical and biological agents into weaponry, putting soldiers on the battlefield in danger. This has resulted in worldwide demand for military gas masks.

The full-face gas mask is commonly used by military personnel and first responders worldwide because it gives more comfort and protection to the face. Newer kinds of full-face masks are designed to provide a better vision than half-face masks. Although a full-face mask is heavier than a half-face mask, it provides complete protection for the nose, mouth, and eyes, making it safer.

North America held the biggest military gas mask market share in 2021, owing to the high demand for CBRN agent protection in the United States and Canada. The United States is a significant purchaser of gas masks and is also home to the majority of the world's main gas mask producers. The government is continually improving its military and first responder protection systems, which is expected to create money for the companies that supply the country with gas masks. For example, in March 2020, the US Department of Defense (DoD) announced that it had granted Avon Protection Systems a USD 245.9 million contract for the construction of M53A1 Chemical Biological Protective gas mask systems. Furthermore, the proposed FY21 military budget may permit the acquisition of 4,263 JSGPM Ground/Ship (M53A1) masks with blowers, training, initial spares, and entire package fielding to meet Army needs. During the projection period, such developments are expected to strengthen the North American region's market dominance.
