Nonwoven fabrics Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Type (Spun Bonded Non-woven, Meltblown ) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Nonwoven Fabrics Market is accounted for $46.98 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $73.31 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. Non-woven fabric is a fabric organized from long fibers, bonded collectively by mechanical, chemical, heat or solvent treatment. They are smooth, porous sheets that are made directly from separate fibers or from molten plastic or plastic film. They are engineered Fabrics that may be a limitative, single-use fabric or a very durable fabric. Non-woven Fabrics offer precise functions such as absorbency, straining, resilience; stretch, strength, and flame ret ardency, wash ability, softness, bacterial barrier and sterility.

The Chinese government is planning Xinjiang as the hotbed for textile and apparel manufacturing, and it has invested USD 8 billion. China's northwest region is expected to become the country's largest textile production base by 2030. According to European Disposables and Nonwovens Association (EDANA), around 750 sq. km of nonwoven geotextiles are manufactured and sold every year, 60% of which are used in the construction of roads. There is an increasing demand for nonwoven geotextiles over geocells and geogrids for constructing roads, pavements, buildings, and dams as it has more absorption capacity. According to the Ministry of Textiles, in 2019, India had 40 geotextiles projects for roads, water reservoirs, and slope stabilization. Apart from construction, geotextile is now gaining popularity in other applications such as mining, oil drilling sites, shale gas, and others. The National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) had signed a $13.8M contract with Samaroo Investment for the installation of geotextiles tubes.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

High Demand for Spunbond

The nonwoven fabric industry is mostly projected to have faster growth owing to the high demand for the spunbond sector. The increased demand for these spunbond nonwovens across several applications in hygiene products, construction, coating substrates, agriculture, battery separators, wipes, and filtration is what has given the category its dominant market position. One of the most popular processes for producing nonwoven fabrics in larger quantities is spunbond. Moreover, the growing healthcare sector in the developing markets coupled with the increase in the geriatric population in the western countries will further propel the growth rate of market.

Restraint:

Instability in Prices

Higher raw material costs obstruct the global market growth. Changes in consumer demand, high oil costs, and patterns of international commerce all have an influence on the market. In spite of the oil market's essential volatility, prices for polypropylene may not rise or fall over the medium term from their current levels. Due to the rising cost of inputs for intermediary goods as a result of the rising price of oil, either the price will be passed on to customers or margins would be reduced. These fluctuations have a negative impact on the overall cost of the product.

Opportunity:

Rising utilization across healthcare industry

It is progressively used in medical applications as more reasonable goods are becoming accessible in hospitals with limited budgets. Hospitals regularly employ items like disposable and reusable. Nonwoven medical items, such as disposable patient gowns, drapes, and linens, are encouraged by a number of government initiatives to limit HAIs (. These products assist stop the spread of HAIs, which is the chief reason for its increased demand within the healthcare sector.

Threat:

Obtainability issues related with raw materials

The obtainability of raw materials is one of the most important factors that have a straight influence on the end-product market. In this market, more than 80% of the raw material fibers are synthetic. Some of these raw material fibers, such as polyester and cotton, are available in large quantities and at reasonable prices; others, such as carbon fibers, glass fibers or high tenacity yarns, and aramids, are pricier and not easily accessible.

Impact of Covid-19

Due to COVID-19 outbreak across the leading authorities around the globe imposed lockdown restrictions and released a set of precautionary measures to control the spread of novel coronavirus. The sudden surge in demand for PPE like gloves, protective gowns, masks, etc., was witnessed which consequently boosted the demand for Non-woven fabrics amid pandemics. Growing health awareness and the government mandate to wear a mask are expected to boost the demand for the Non-Woven Fabrics market globally in the forecast period.

The durables segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The durables segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period, owing to growing construction spending in developing markets such as Brazil, China, and India have led to the demand for geotextiles in roads and buildings which in turn is predictable to drive the demand for nonwovens in durable applications.

The Dry Laid segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Dry Laid segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period and is anticipated to lead the market. As it have extensive applications in personal care, wipes, and packaging markets. The growth in these industries owing to the upsurge in disposable income levels and fast development will propel the market.

Region with highest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, due to increasing production output together with predictable rebound in construction activities over the forecast period. Moreover, the market is growing owing to the aging population in the country, which is responsible for the increase in the adoption of medical devices as older people are more prone to diseases. These are few factors propelling the market growth on this province.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of this region is accredited to the fast industrialization and rising population in China and India has resulted in demand for superior infrastructure which led to augmented construction spending, speedy rise in investments and developments in the healthcare sector are some of the factors driving the market in this province. Moreover, development of building and automotive engineering particularly in BRIC nations is predictable to spur the market growth. Moreover, , factors such as improving global economy, expanding working population, rising domestic demand for hygiene products are motivating the market growth.

Key players in the market
