Polypropylene Nonwoven Fabric Market by Type (Composites, Meltblown, Spunbonded), Layer (Multilayer, Single Layer), Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Polypropylene Nonwoven Fabric Market size was estimated at USD 34.82 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 37.44 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.58% to reach USD 58.09 billion by 2030.

Polypropylene nonwoven fabric is a synthetic textile material made from polypropylene polymer. Nonwoven fabrics are engineered fabrics produced by bonding or interlocking fibers rather than by weaving or knitting them. Polypropylene is a versatile polymer commonly used to create nonwoven fabrics due to its excellent properties. These fabrics are often lightweight, which can be advantageous in applications where weight is critical. Polypropylene nonwoven fabric's versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness make it widely used in various industries for disposable and durable applications. Increasing adoption in medical textiles, including surgical gowns, masks, and drapes, driven by their favorable properties such as barrier protection and breathability, and the rising demand in automotive applications expanded its market reach. Additionally, growth in agriculture and geotextile applications for soil stabilization, erosion control, and drainage further expanded its market demand. However, environmental concerns associated with disposable nonwovens persist, and stringent guidelines from government bodies impact the market growth. Developing bio-based polypropylene and recycling technologies and ongoing research and development activities aimed at improving the properties of polypropylene nonwoven fabrics are expected to create opportunities in the market.
