Global Nonwoven Fabric Market By Technology (Dry-Laid, Spunmelt, Wet-Laid and Others), By Material (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polyethylene (PE), Rayon, Wood Pulp, Bi-Component (BICO) and Others), By Application (Hygiene, Construction, Wipes, Upholstery, Filtration, Automotive and Others), By Function (Disposable and Non-Disposable), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa)-Global Forecast to 2030.
Global Nonwoven Fabric Market Overview:
The global nonwoven fabric market is estimated to generate USD 77.81 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period 2022-2030, and it was valued at USD 52.44 billion in 2022. The nonwoven fabric, also known as a nonwoven fabric, is composed of directional or random fibers. Because of its appearance and specific properties, it is called cloth. Nonwoven fabrics are moisture-proof, breathable, flexible, lightweight, non-combustible, easy to decompose, non-toxic, non-irritating, rich in color, inexpensive, and reusable. Nonwoven fabrics do not have warp and weft threads. They are very convenient for cutting and sewing, and they are lightweight and easy to set because it does not require spinning and weaving to form a fabric, textile staple fibers, or just filaments oriented or random arrangement to develop a web structure, and then using mechanical, chemical, or thermal bonding methods made by solidifying.Global Nonwoven Fabric Market Insights
The growth of the market is driven by the growth of modern healthcare in developing markets and increasing awareness of environmentally friendly fabrics. Further, the swelling demand for personal hygiene products and the growing population will propel the demand for nonwoven fabric globally. Additionally, the proliferation of new technologies, increased disposable income levels, and rapid urbanization are anticipated to enhance the demand for nonwoven fabric. The growing application base in the healthcare and personal care industry and the swelling demand from the automotive industry will trigger the growth of the global nonwoven fabric market industry in the future. The shifting consumer preferences in favor of hygiene products against rising health awareness, changing lifestyles, and better living standards will boost the growth of the global nonwoven fabric industry. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness of the raw materials used in their manufacturing and the growing demand from their application in manufacturing filters, such as filtering gasoline, oil, and air, will positively impact the nonwoven fabric market. Furthermore, the swelling birth rate, aging population, and increasing demand for hygiene products such as baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products are anticipated to foster global market growth. Additionally, the surge in the application of nonwoven fabric in road construction in geotextiles to raise the durability of roads will positively impact the nonwoven fabric market. The increase in the importance of nonwoven fabric in geotextiles for providing high tear and puncture resistance, temperature fluctuation tolerance, and durability propels the growth of the global market. Growth DriverRise in the birth rate and increase in geriatric population in emerging economies
The child population in developing countries is projected to surge soon. According to the United Nations, the population of China in 2019 was 1.43 billion. This increase is due to higher total fertility rates following the availability of new estimates from the 2017 National Fertility Survey and registers data up to 2017. These factors will propel the demand for disposable diapers in the region. United Nations also stated that there were 703 million persons aged 65 or over in the world in 2019. The number of older persons is projected to double to 1.5 billion in 2050.Increase in importance of geotextiles
Geotextile is a new type of construction material used in civil engineering. Nonwoven geotextile is mainly used in highways, railways, water conservancies, electric power, soil and water conservation, and infrastructure construction. It has excellent filtering, isolation, reinforcement and protection, high tensile strength, good permeability, high-temperature resistance, resistance freezing, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, and other advantages. In many constructions, the nonwoven geotextile was not used, which caused significant problems such as dam collapse, rupture, and piping.COVID-19 Impacts Insights
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is positively impacting the nonwoven fabric market. The global COVID-19 pandemic has led to lockdowns in major world cities, which led to manufacturing activities across the globe, which affected the demand for plastics and production & processing. However, the sudden increase in the need for medical and industrial protective apparel worldwide will trigger the growth of the nonwoven fabric market.Technology Segmental Analysis
Based on the technology, the global nonwoven fabric markets are segregated into dry-laid, spunmelt, wet-laid, and others. The dry-laid segment will dominate the global nonwoven fabrics market over the forecast period. This is due to the growing application of dry-laid in wipes, personal care, and packaging markets. The upsurge in disposable income levels and rapid urbanization will fuel the dry-laid nonwoven fabrics market. The spun melt segment will grow significantly in the forecast period. This is due to the growing usage of spunmelt in the hygiene industry to make disposable diapers, feminine care products, gowns, coveralls, masks, hospital disposables, etc. Material Type Segmental Analysis Based on the material type, the global nonwoven fabric market is classified into polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), rayon, wood pulp, bi-component (BICO), and others. The polypropylene segment is estimated to witness the highest growth over the analysis timeframe due to the surge in demand for polypropylene nonwoven fabrics because of its availability in various grades and properties, which treatments and auxiliary chemicals can modify. Polyethylene terephthalate will grow significantly during the forecast period due to the surge in applications in civil engineering, such as insulation, roofing, and floor separation, fulfilling acceptable quality level values. Function Segmental Analysis Based on the function, the global nonwoven fabric market is classified into disposable and non-disposable. The disposable segment is expected to be the highest revenue share for nonwoven fabric during the forecast period. The segment’s growth is primarily attributed to the increased demand for healthcare assistance and incontinence products coupled with the growing availability of modern healthcare in an emerging market. The non-disposable segment will witness a lucrative growth rate in the estimated period due to the growing construction spending in emerging markets and the surge in the application of nonwoven fabric in the automotive industry for automobile interiors, cabin filters, floor mats, and seat trims. Application Segmental Analysis Based on the application, the global nonwoven fabric maris ket was segregated into hygiene, construction, wipes, upholstery, filtration, automotive, etc. The hygiene segment held a significant market share in 2021 and will gain maximum market revenue by 2030. It is attributable to the increasing usage of nonwoven fabric in manufacturing baby diapers, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence products, training pants, and lens tissues. The construction segment is poised to witness significant growth over the forecast period. This is due to the number of infrastructure development projects swelling in developing and developed economies. Region Segmental Analysis Based on geography, the global non-woven fabric market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. It is owing to the swelling birthrate in China and India, which led to the rising baby diaper production, increasing income levels, and growing construction spending in emerging economies such as India and China. North America will capture a prominent share of the nonwoven fabric market by 2030 due to an established transportation industry and the reconstruction of infrastructure in the country.
