Market Overview:
The global non woven fabric market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for hygiene products, construction materials, and automotive components. Additionally, the growing awareness about environmental protection is also propelling the demand for non woven fabrics globally. Non woven fabrics are made from synthetic or natural fibers that are bonded together by heat, chemical reaction, or physical pressure. These fabrics have a wide range of applications in various industries such as hygiene, construction, filtration, automotive and others. They offer several advantages over traditional textiles such as high strength-to-weight ratio; resistance to tearing and ripping; low water absorption; and high durability.
Product Definition:
Nonwoven fabrics are made from individual fibers that are not woven together in a traditional sense. Fibers may be bonded by heat, ultrasonics, or adhesives. Nonwoven fabrics often have a felt-like appearance and are used in a variety of applications, including medical and hygiene products (e.g.
Meltblown:
Meltblown is a process of producing nonwoven fabrics by melting polymer fibers together. The meltblown process produces comparatively less expensive products than the wet formed process, however, it has some drawbacks such as low mechanical strength and limited breathability.
The major driving factor for meltblown technology in the non-woven fabric market is its cost effectiveness compared to other processes available in the market today.
Spunbonded:
Spunbonded polypropylene (PP) is a type of non-woven fabric, which is made from polymerization of ethylene and propylene. Spunbonded PP has lower melting point compared to meltblown PP; this allows for better breathability and flexibility in the finished product. It also offers high strength, abrasion resistance, good elasticity & soft feel along with excellent processability for printing & dyeing.
Application Insights:
The construction industry was the largest application segment in 2016 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Nonwoven fabrics are widely used for various applications in construction such as geotextiles, erosion control, filtration, roofing and wall coverings. Construction is one of the leading industries globally owing to its fast-growing economies such as India & China along with low cost labor rates which makes it affordable for middle-income countries like Brazil and Indonesia. This factor will drive nonwoven fabric demand in construction applications over the forecast period.
Hygiene products were another prominent application segment accounting for a revenue share of 22% in 2017 on account of rising health concerns among consumers coupled with increasing disposable income resulting in growing demand from developing regions including Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa where hygiene standards are improving rapidly especially among working class women who constitute a major part of consumer base across these regions.
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 product demand from various application industries, such as construction, automotive and hygiene. In addition, rapid industrialization and urbanization in emerging countries of Asia Pacific are anticipated to fuel the product demand further.
The growing population coupled with rising disposable income has led to an increase in residential construction activities across Asia Pacific which is likely to have a positive impact on industry growth over the next eight years. However, stringent regulations by environmental protection agencies may hinder production volumes for non-woven products due to their filtration properties; this scenario is however not very likely during our forecast period as these agencies are focusing more on water filtration performance rather than fabric characteristics at this point of time (2018).
North America was one of the largest markets for non-woven fabric with a revenue share of 23% in 2017 owing both consumption.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from hygiene and medical applications
- Rising disposable income in developing countries
- Growing popularity of non woven fabrics in lifestyle applications
- Technological advancements that improve the performance of non woven fabrics
- Regulations promoting the use of non woven fabrics over traditional materials
