Based on end-users, the industrial manufacturing segment of the global face shield market mainly comprises automotive and transportation, aerospace, food processing, shipbuilding, steel and metal fabrication, machine manufacturing, textile, chemical, pharmaceutical, electrical and electronics, cement, and other manufacturing industries. The demand for PPE products, including face shields from the aerospace industry, is expected to grow in the next five years, owing to the rising need for new aircraft and growing investments in new industrial manufacturing facilities.
Full-face shields are used in a majority of industries, including chemical, oil and gas, manufacturing, and healthcare. As a result, most vendors focus on manufacturing full-face shields. Vendors are also focusing on innovations and introducing new models of full-face shields. Half-face shields extend up to the middle of the face and do not cover the full face. They do not protect the forehead, chin, and lower part of the face. These face shields protect the major parts of the face, such as the eyes and nose. Hence, they are widely used in sports arenas and environments prone to non-hazardous liquid splash and light particles, for example, laboratories or controlled environments.

Demand for face shields is partly driven by the need for safety, as well as the stringent regulatory framework. In the US, the OSHA is an agency in the Department of Labor, which provides some guidelines to protect the eye and face, including the usage and applications of face shields. In Europe, regulation 2016/425 passed in March 2016, which is also known as the PPE regulation, stipulates the design, manufacture, and marketing of PPE. It defines legal obligations to ensure that PPE on the EU internal market provides the highest level of protection against risks.
Increasing e-commerce activities and growth in the retail sector across the world offer opportunities to various industries. Through e-commerce, buyers can compare different products available online. Most e-commerce websites have reviews written by buyers, which help in decision-making. Additional information, such as photos, product specifications, and warranty, given with product information is useful for buyers. As many e-commerce platforms offer faster delivery with the help of huge logistics and supply chain networks, buyers are able to conveniently order face shield online. E-commerce platforms, such as Amazon, are used by international brands and local vendors, giving buyers more options and a chance to buy from international brands.
For extending the life of face shields and maintaining hygiene, employers must ensure timely maintenance and proper storage. This means additional processes, higher costs, and more time devoted to research before buying. Owing to these reasons, small-scale companies prefer not to buy face shields or buy low-quality face shields.
Poor maintenance of face shields results in numerous face shields accumulating in landfills, causing environmental pollution. Due to the various challenges faced in maintenance and choosing the right type of face shields, many employers buy inexpensive face shields and end up replacing them frequently. These factors will challenge the global face shield market.
