In terms of utilization across sectors, the demand for spunbond nonwoven fabrics in Argentina reflects a multi-industry dependence that is continuously adapting to societal needs and production trends. Personal care applications represent a significant area of consumption, driven by the increasing emphasis on comfort, hygiene, and performance in consumer products. Items such as baby diapers, women’s sanitary products, and protective undergarments for adults rely heavily on nonwoven layers to provide softness, fluid control, and breathability. As consumer expectations grow, producers are turning to engineered spunbond fabrics that offer improved skin compatibility and structural integrity. In the healthcare ecosystem, nonwoven fabrics are indispensable, used in a wide range of single-use medical items such as gowns, surgical drapes, scrub caps, and face coverings. The pandemic heightened awareness around the importance of hygienic barriers, leading to stronger institutional procurement and government interest in building local supply chains. Meanwhile, infrastructure initiatives across Argentina ranging from rural development projects to urban upgrades leverage geotextile versions of spunbond fabrics for ground reinforcement, drainage facilitation, and erosion prevention, especially in regions vulnerable to flooding or soil degradation. Within the automotive sector, nonwoven components contribute to vehicle weight reduction and passenger comfort, serving roles in filtration, acoustic dampening, and thermal insulation. Elsewhere, smaller but rising demand is noted in agriculture, where spunbond fabrics are used for crop protection and seasonal covering, as well as in the packaging sector where companies are experimenting with reusable or semi-disposable fabric solutions.

Polypropylene spunbond nonwovens are deeply entrenched in the country’s textile and hygiene-related supply chains, favored for their combination of lightness, durability, and resistance to water and microbial growth. Their adaptability to various forming techniques and cost-effectiveness make them a primary material in baby care products, disposable garments, and flexible packaging solutions. With the hygiene sector expanding due to lifestyle changes and urbanization, the demand for these nonwovens continues to rise. Polyester spunbond nonwovens, on the other hand, cater to a different segment that requires resilience under pressure, temperature resistance, and structural stability. This material finds increasing utilization in automotive interiors, acoustic insulation, and filtration systems, all of which are becoming more prevalent as Argentina’s vehicle production and infrastructure sectors aim for modernization. Additionally, polyethylene spunbond nonwovens are appreciated for their soft texture and pliability, making them ideal for sensitive applications such as surgical coverings, child care products, and barrier materials in medical and personal care domains.
