Market prospects for nonwovens

  In recent years, the growth rate of world non-woven demand has always been higher than the growth of the global economy. Global non-woven production is mainly concentrated in the United States, accounting for 41% of the world total, Western Europe accounting for 30%, Japan accounting for 8%, China for 3.5%, and other regions for 17.5%. In the end application of non-woven fabrics, sanitary absorbents (especially diapers) have the fastest growth, and medical textiles, automotive textiles, footwear and artificial leather markets are also showing rapid development.

  China's non-woven fabric industry started late, but it is developing very rapidly. In the early 1980s, production was less than 10,000 tons. In the mid-to-late 1990s, China set off a climax in the development of non-woven products. In addition to domestic production lines, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces have also introduced production lines from abroad. The development speed of China's non-woven products greatly exceeds the average development speed of the textile industry, with a rapid growth rate of 8-10% per year. It is the fastest growing industry in the textile industry.
