3m's N95 market's getting GUTTED by KN95 Chinese imports?3M's inability to deliver those large amounts of 95% rated respirators at a time when it was critically needed. This forced municipalities and essential worker facilities to source for masks elsewhere. China has HAPPILY filled that needed void with their KN95 respirator.
3m left a small space in the doorway and China has slipped right in, they produce these masks faster for less. So let's think about this, 29% of 3m's revenue comes from their safety and graphics segment. If China is cutting into 3m's respirator market what other safety equipment will they up-sell to these newly found customers, taking away further market share from the safety segment of 3m?
