Global Nonwovens Market Snapshot
A detailed assessment of the global nonwoven market conducted by Persistence Market Research (PMR) points towards expansion at around 6.1% CAGR from 2023 to 2033. The market is anticipated to attain a valuation of US Dollar 86.2 Billion by the end of the forecast period.
Nonwoven fabrics are textiles made by bonding fibers together, either through chemical adhesion, mechanical or heat treatment, or a combination of these methods. It can be manufactured using different standard technologies, such as spunlaid, drylaid, and wetlaid. Meltblown and spunbond are the prominent spunlaid technologies used in the manufacturing of nonwoven fabrics.
Nonwoven fabric materials have a diverse set of applications that can be classified as hygiene and industrial applications. Hygiene applications of nonwoven fabrics include personal care products, such as disposable diapers, adult incontinence, and feminine care products. Industrial nonwoven fabric applications include geotextiles, wallwraps, ground covers, furniture fabrics, and medical protective apparel.
These fabrics are primarily used in the textile and automotive industries because it is lightweight and comfortable to use. Materials made up of nonwoven are 15 to 20% lighter than competing materials and can reduce vehicle weight by up to 2 kilograms. The growing demand for lightweight, high-strength interior materials in the automotive industry is one of the key factors bolstering the industry's growth.
Historical (2018 to 2022) v/s Forecast (2023 to 2033) Market Outlook
