Description

Nonwoven materials are engineered fabrics that are made by bonding or interlocking fibers using a mechanical, thermal, or chemical process. These differ from woven fabrics which are produced by weaving together yarns or threads. Nonwoven materials find wide applications across various end-use industries such as construction, hygiene, medical, and filtration due to properties such as absorbency, dust resistance, and durability. Growing demand from hygiene products sector along with rapid urbanization and infrastructure development can boost demand for nonwoven materials globally. However, fluctuating prices of raw materials can hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Nonwoven materials are used to manufacture automobile accessories, such as car seat backing, car headliners, and car and motorcycle covers, and this is expected to boost demand for nonwoven materials in the automotive sector.

Market Dynamics

Global nonwoven materials market growth is driven by factors such as rapid urbanization in developing economies, rising disposable incomes, and growing focus on hygiene products. Rapid infrastructure development activities around the world boosts demand for nonwoven materials from the construction industry. Furthermore, increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections boosts need for nonwoven materials in medical textiles. However, volatility in prices of raw materials, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyester, can hamper the market growth. Moreover, stringent environmental regulations regarding the disposal of non-biodegradable nonwoven waste can hamper the market expansion. Technological advancements in manufacturing processes and materials are expected to offer opportunities for market players in the near future.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
