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.
