Spunbond Nonwoven Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Material Type (Polyester Spunbond Nonwoven, Polyethylene Spunbond Nonwoven), Application (Personal Care & Hygiene, Packaging), and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Spunbond Nonwoven Market is accounted for $19.82 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $29.80 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period. Spunbond Nonwoven fabrics are made up of the continuous process of fibers spun and directly dispersed into a web-like deflector or can be directed with air streams. This process leads to a faster belt speed. Spunbond nonwoven products are produced by a bonding process, web formation, and integrated fiber spinning. They are porous flat sheets and fabric-like materials that are extremely smooth and energy-efficient. These nonwoven fabrics find their application in wall covering, dust covers, dash insulators, sanitary napkins, crop covers, face masks, air filters, carry bags, and posters & banners.

It is projected that the revenue of manufacture of non-wovens and articles made from non-wovens, except apparel in the United Kingdom will amount to approximately 176.36 million U.S. Dollars by 2025. Looking to the future, such growth is expected to continue. Admittedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a dampener on growth in certain end use markets but the market for personal protective equipment (PPE) is estimated to have surged in 2020 and demand is expected to be maintained at its heightened level in the short to medium term. Furthermore, growth in demand for products made from nonwoven fabrics in Asia is set to recover more rapidly than in Western economies and, as a result, China and India are set to become the largest markets for such products in the world.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Effortless manufacturing

The key advantages of spunbond nonwovens are the effortlessness of manufacturing, high handling speeds, low cost of production, and the capacity to produce fabrics of diverse weights and functions. The increasing consumer adaptability of spunbond nonwoven fabrics has influenced traditional fabric manufacturers to accelerate the pace of innovation and upgrade traditional fibers. The increase in adoption is attributed to the accelerated demand for products that offer flexibility, durability, and superior functionalities such as safety, high strength, and lightweight.

Restraint:

Fluctuation of raw material prices
