The Non-woven Packaging Market size in terms of production volume is expected to grow from 1.61 Million tons in 2024 to 2.31 Million tons by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.47% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Innovation and improvements in the non-woven fabric manufacturing processes have also contributed to market growth. Innovations in materials and production techniques have led to the development of non-woven fabrics with enhanced properties such as strength, flexibility, and barrier capabilities, creating opportunities for the products to substitute existing packaging products. The advancements mentioned have expanded the application scope of non-woven fabric packaging across various industries, further driving market growth.
The textile industry has become increasingly globalized, spreading production and consumption across various regions. As a result, countries with competitive advantages in textile production, such as low labor costs or access to raw materials, have been able to ramp up their yarn production for export purposes. This has led to a surge in the volume of textile yarn traded internationally.
Non-woven materials offer lightweight, durable, and cost-effective solutions for packaging in various industries such as agriculture, construction, and retail. The versatility of non-woven fabrics makes them suitable for different types of sacks and bags, driving their adoption in packaging applications.
Environmental awareness, such as eco-friendly fashion has evolved worldwide. Non-woven bags, created from sustainable resources, are at the forefront of this trend, providing a chic and responsible substitute to conventional plastic bags.
The geopolitical situation often influences global energy markets, impacting the prices of crude oil and natural gas. Since these commodities are key feedstocks for petrochemical-based raw materials used in non-woven fabric production, such as polypropylene and polyester, fluctuations in energy prices can directly affect the cost of raw materials. Sharp increases in energy prices can drive up production costs for non-woven fabric manufacturers, leading to higher prices for non-woven packaging materials.
The Non-woven Packaging market is fragmented owing to global players and small and medium-sized enterprises. Some of the major players in the market are Novipax Buyer, LLC, EAM Corporation (Domtar Corporation), Glatfelter Corporation, Felix Non-wovens, and Dupont de Nemours, Inc. Players in the market are adopting strategies such as partnerships and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.
