Nonwoven Materials Market, By Material Type (Polyester, Nylon, Polypropylene, Polyethylene Terephthalate and Others), by Technology (Drylaid, Spunlaid, Wetlaid, and Others), by Application (Personal Care & Hygiene, Medical, Household, Filtration, Textile, Automotive, Building and Construction and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028

Nonwoven material or fabric is also known as yarn-free fabric and shaped fabric. It is manufactured by using polyester, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and other materials. Advantages offered by nonwoven materials, such as flame resistance, and heat sealability among others is expected to drive growth of the global nonwoven materials market over the forecast period.
Key players operating in the nonwoven materials market are focusing on mergers & acquisitions, and product development to maintain their position in the competitive market. For instance, in 2017, Ahlstrom-Munksjo Oyj launched PureArmor, a breathable fabric for blood borne pathogen & cleanroom apparel protection. PureArmor fabric is a tri-laminate nonwoven material having low levels of lint, which makes it suitable for contamination-sensitive applications. This has helped the company to expand its nonwoven fabric product portfolio in the medical industry.
Market Dynamics
Based on technology, nonwoven materials market is divided into drylaid, spunlaid, wetlaid, and others, in which, the drylaid segment accounted for the largest share of 38.8% in the global nonwoven materials market. The main advantage of drylaid nonwoven technology is the isotropic structure of the web. It is a relatively slow and more expensive method. It is mainly used for production of baby diapers and beverage filtration products.
Among regions, in 2021, Asia Pacific held the dominant position in the global nonwoven materials market, and accounted for a revenue share of 36.0% in the same year. The growing automotive industry in emerging economies such as India and China, is expected to drive growth of the nonwoven materials market in Asia Pacific. According to the report published by India’s Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) in 2021, India’s automotive industry (including component manufacturing) is expected to be valued around US$ 251.4 - 282.8 billion by 2026.
