After accounting for lower mask uptake, the company estimated sales will grow by 2 percent to 5 percent organically this year.
Other companies have also seen demand for COVID-19-related products decline recently. Honeywell International, another mask maker, told the Journal in the Feb. 14 article that lower sales contributed to a 3 percent drop in companywide revenue in the three months through December. The projected revenue for Honeywell will decrease by about a percentage point this year, the Journal reported.
