Market Overview:
The global melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for masks market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for masks from various end-use industries, such as healthcare and automotive. In addition, the growing awareness about personal hygiene and safety is also propelling the demand for masks, which in turn is fueling the growth of the global melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for masks market. On the basis of type, polypropylene accounted for a major share of the global melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for masks market in 2017. This can be attributed to its properties such as high strength and durability, which make it suitable for use in manufacturing masks.
Product Definition:
Melt-blown nonwoven fabrics are made from thermoplastic fibers that are extruded through a small hole in a die and then blown by air onto a collecting surface. They are used for masks because they provide good filtration and breathability.
Polypropylene:
Polypropylene (PP) is a widely used synthetic resin. It has various properties such as high chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and excellent strength. These properties have increased its usage in the melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for manufacturing masks for industrial applications including mining, oil & gas extraction and construction among others.
Melt-blown nonwoven fabrics are made by melting polymer fibers together under heat.
Polyurethane:
Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer, which is widely used in the melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for manufacturing masks. It has excellent mechanical strength and thermal resistance properties. Polyurethane accounts for about 10% of the total market volume of fibers & composites used in automotive components globally.
The global polyurethane demand was estimated at 1,811 kilotons in 2016.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes N99, N95 and P100. The demand for the product in these applications is expected to witness a CAGR of XX%, in terms of revenue, over the forecast period as they offer high protection against hazardous particles including asbestos fibers and dusts.
Masks produced from melt-blown nonwoven fabrics are widely used across various end-use industries including construction, automotive, healthcare and electronics owing to their properties such as cost-effectiveness along with superior fitment capabilities. These masks provide comfort to wearers by effectively sealing off large airways during welding or grinding operations that require a particulate respirator with tight filtration efficiency.
Surgical application dominated the global market for melt-blown nonwoven fabrics for masks in 2017 due to factors such as increasing number of surgeries coupled with rising health awareness among consumers worldwide which has resulted in increased demand for surgical products made using advanced technology materials such as polyurethane foam.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for masks with better filtration and resistance capabilities from healthcare professionals, as well as rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand.
China was one of the largest markets in Asia Pacific with a revenue share of more than 30% in 2017 owing to high product demand from various end-use industries including healthcare & medical sector. Rapidly growing medical tourism industry coupled with improving healthcare infrastructure is anticipated to drive mask manufacturing across this region over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for masks from the healthcare sector to prevent the spread of infection and diseases
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using masks among general population
- Stringent government regulations on use of masks in public places
- Technological advancements in mask manufacturing that improve quality and durability of masks
- Growing popularity of eco-friendly and biodegradable masks made from melt-blown nonwoven fabrics
