Umhlaba jikeleleimakethe yemaski yezokwelaphaUsayizi wema ku-USD 2.15 billion ngo-2019 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ufinyelele ku-USD 4.11 billion ngo-2027, ukhombisa i-CAGR ka-8.5% ngesikhathi sokubikezela.
Izifo zokuphefumula ezinzima njengenyumoniya, ukukhwehlela, umkhuhlane, kanye ne-coronavirus (CoVID-19) ziyathathelana kakhulu.Lokhu kuvame ukusabalala ngamafinyila noma ngamathe lapho umuntu ekhwehlela noma ethimula.Ngokusho kwe-World Health Organization (WHO), minyaka yonke, u-5-10% wabantu emhlabeni uhlaselwa izifo zokuphefumula eziholela emfuluwenza, obangela ukugula okukhulu kubantu abangaba yizigidi ezingu-3-5.Ukudluliswa kwezifo zokuphefumula kungancishiswa ngokuthatha izinyathelo zokuphepha ezifanele njengokugqoka i-PPE (Isisetshenziswa Somuntu Sokuzivikela), ukugcina izandla zihlanzekile, nokulandela izinyathelo zokuzivikela, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sobhadane noma ubhubhane.I-PPE ihlanganisa izingubo zezokwelapha ezifana nezingubo zokugqoka, ama-drapes, amagilavu, imaski yokuhlinzwa, izigqoko zasekhanda, nokunye.Ukuvikela ubuso kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba ama-aerosol omuntu onegciwane engena ngqo ngekhala nangomlomo.Ngakho-ke, imaski isebenza njengesivikelo sokunciphisa imiphumela emibi yesifo.Ukubaluleka kwamaski obuso kwavunywa ngempela ngesikhathi sobhadane lwe-SARS ngo-2003, kwalandelwa yi-H1N1/H5N1, futhi muva nje, i-coronavirus ngo-2019. Amamaski obuso anikeze u-90-95% wokuphumelela ekuvimbeni ukudluliselwa phakathi nalolu bhubhane.Ukwenyuka kwesidingo semaski yokuhlinzwa, ukwanda kwezifo zokuphefumula ezithathelwanayo, kanye nokuqwashisa umphakathi ngokubaluleka kokuvikelwa kobuso kube nomthelela omkhulu ekuthengisweni kwemaski yezokwelapha eminyakeni embalwa edlule.
Ukulawula imiphumela yezifo ezithathelwanayo zokuphefumula kuzowela endaweni kuphela uma uhlelo luneziqondiso eziqinile mayelana nenhlanzeko.Ngaphandle kodokotela nabanye abasebenzi bezokwelapha kunokuqwashisa okuncane phakathi kwabantu.Ubhubhane luphoqe ohulumeni emazweni amaningi ukuthi babeke imihlahlandlela emisha futhi babeke izinyathelo ezinqala kwabaphula umthetho.I-World Health Organisation, ngo-Ephreli 2020 yakhipha umqulu weziqondiso zesikhashana zokweluleka ngokusetshenziswa komaski bezokwelapha.Lo mbhalo uveza imihlahlandlela enemininingwane yokuthi usetshenziswa kanjani imaski, abelulekwa ukuthi bagqoke imaskhi, njll. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, iminyango yezempilo emazweni amaningana ikhiphe imibhalo yemikhombandlela yokwandisa ukuqwashisa nokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kobhubhane. imaski yezokwelapha.Isibonelo, uMnyango Wezempilo Nenhlalakahle Yomndeni wase-India, uMnyango Wezempilo waseMinnesota, uMnyango Wezempilo waseVermont, Inhlangano Yezokuphepha Emsebenzini Nezempilo (OSHA) yase-US, nabanye abaningi bahlongoze imihlahlandlela ngokuhambisana nokusetshenziswa kwemaski. .Ukubekwa okunjalo okuphoqelekile kulethe ukuqwashisa emhlabeni wonke futhi ekugcineni kuholele ekwenyukeni kwesidingo semaski yezokwelapha, okubandakanya imaskhi yobuso bokuhlinzwa, imaskhi engu-N95, imaskhi yenqubo, imaskhi yendwangu, nokunye.Ngakho-ke, ukugadwa kweziphathimandla zikahulumeni kube nomthelela omkhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwemaski ngaleyo ndlela kwaqhubeza isidingo nokuthengiswa kwayo.ABASHAYELI BEZIMAKETHI Ukwandisa Ukusabalala Kwezifo Zokuphefumula Ukuze Kuvuswe Intengo Yemakethe Izifo ezithathelanayo zokuphefumula zibonakale zanda ngokuhamba kweminyaka.Nakuba lesi sifo sisakazeka ngenxa yegciwane elibulalayo, izici ezinjengokungcola okwandayo, inhlanzeko engafanele, imikhuba yokubhema, nokuncipha kokugoma kusheshisa ukusakazeka kwalesi sifo;okubangela ukuthi kube ubhubhane noma ubhubhane.I-World Health Organization (WHO) ilinganisela ukuthi izifo eziwumshayabhuqe ziholela ekufeni kwabantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezi-3 kuye kwezi-5 kanye nokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kwama-lakhs emhlabeni jikelele.Isibonelo, i-COVID-19 ibangele amacala angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-2.4 emhlabeni wonke ngo-2020. Ukwanda kwezifo zokuphefumula kukhulise ukusetshenziswa nokuthengiswa kwe-N95 kanye nemaski okuhlinzwa, ngakho-ke kuphawula inani eliphezulu lemakethe.Ukukhula kokuqwashisa kwabantu mayelana nokusetshenziswa okubalulekile nokusebenza ngempumelelo kwemaski kulindeleke ukuthi kube nomthelela omuhle kusayizi wemakethe yemaski yezokwelapha, eminyakeni ezayo.Ukwengeza, ukuhlinzwa okukhuphukayo kanye nokulaliswa esibhedlela nakho kuzoba nomthelela ekukhuleni kwemakethe yemaski yezokwelapha ngesikhathi sokubikezela.Ukwenyuka Kokuthengiswa Kwemaski Yezokwelapha Ukuze Kusheshiswe Ukukhula Kwemakethe Ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwabasebenzi bezokwelapha, abahlengikazi, abasebenzi, imizamo yokubambisana ifakwa kuwo wonke umuntu.Ukusebenza okuphezulu (kufika ku-95%) kwemaski efana ne-N95 kukhuphule ukutholwa kwabantu nabasebenzi bezempilo.Uhambo olukhulu ekuthengisweni kwemaski lwabonwa ngo-2019-2020 ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19.Isibonelo, ingqophamlando ye-coronavirus, eChina, inyuke cishe ngama-60% ekuthengisweni kwe-inthanethi kwamaski obuso.Ngokufanayo, e-US ukuthengiswa kwe-facemask kumake ukwanda okungaphezu kuka-300% ngesikhathi esifanayo ngokuya ngedatha evela kwa-Nielson.Ukukhula kokwamukelwa kokuhlinzwa, imaski ye-N95 phakathi kwabantu ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuphepha nokuvikela kukhulise kakhulu isibalo samanje sokuhlinzekwa kwezidingo zemakethe yemaski yezokwelapha.UKUTHIBELA EMAKETHINI Ukushoda Kwemaski Yezokwelapha Ukuze Kukhawulwe Ukukhula Kwemakethe Isidingo semaski esimweni esivamile siphansi njengoba kuphela odokotela, abasebenzi bezokwelapha, noma izimboni lapho abantu kufanele basebenze endaweni eyingozi bayisebenzise.Ngakolunye uhlangothi, umqedazwe ongazelelwe noma ubhubhane lukhulisa isidingo esiholela ekushodeni.Ukushoda ngokuvamile kwenzeka lapho abakhiqizi bengakazilungiseleli izimo ezimbi kakhulu noma lapho izifo eziwumshayabhuqe ziholela ekuvinjweni kokuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe kanye nokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe.Isibonelo, ngesikhathi se-COVID-19 amazwe amaningi okuhlanganisa i-US, China, India, izingxenye ze-Europe zaba nokushoda kwemaski ngaleyo ndlela kuphazamise ukuthengiswa.Ukushoda kugcine kuholele ekwehleni kokuthengisa okukhawulela ukukhula kwemakethe.Ngaphezu kwalokho, umthelela wezomnotho odalwe ngenxa yezifo eziwumshayabhuqe futhi unesibopho sokwehlisa ukukhula kwemakethe kwemaski yezokwelapha njengoba kuholela ekwenyukeni kokukhiqizwa kodwa kwehle inani lokuthengisa lomkhiqizo.
