Global Medical Non-Woven Market
Nonwovens are webs made up of fibres. These webs have to be bonded. Bonding methods can be chemical, thermal or mechanical. The development taken place in nonwovens sector includes use of different materials for nonwoven includes Lyocel nonwovens, cellulosic nonwovens, and biodegradable nonwoven. Fibres used in manufacturing of nonwovens for medical applications are cotton, polyester, polypropylene, viscose glass fibre, wood fluff polyamide, chitin, layocell.
Recent developments in medical nonwoven have seen with advanced cellulosic nonwovens, Lyocell nonwovens are the excellent nonwoven. Its high strength enables the nonwoven producer to reduce basis weight while meeting targets. As this is free from shrinkage and due to its high wet stability allows higher area yield in HE process.
Nonwoven disposables are one of the essential constituents of healthcare industry with the product’s disposable attribute offering an edge over woven fabrics used in hospitals. Factors such as rapid advances in nonwovens production technology, increased focus on preventing hospital acquired infections (HAIs), and improving healthcare infrastructure and services across developing countries, drives the growth of medical nonwoven disposable market. Focus on infection control as a means to cut healthcare costs implies that hospitals and other healthcare facilities are looking at disposables as essentials. Growing awareness over the spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis has fueled demand from hospitals for clean, sanitary and disposable products for safeguarding patients and doctors from infections. Health needs of an aging population, increasing incidence of chronic illnesses, and the continuous rise in hospital admissions are driving demand for medical nonwoven disposables. Market growth is also attributed to the rise in surgical procedures (inpatient and outpatient) and the trend towards home healthcare. With strict regulations adopted for safety at healthcare facilities, demand for nonwoven products such as facial masks, gowns, drapes, gloves, and wipes is on the rise. Apart from medical supplies market, nonwovens are also used in adult incontinence care products.
As per the research Europe represents the largest market worldwide. The region is expected to continue witnessing strong demand as national standards have been implemented to ensure harmony with EN (European Standards) for medical devices and protective equipment. Compared to developed regions such as the U.S., Europe, and Japan, demand for medical nonwoven disposables is relatively low in developing countries due to primarily low income levels and high prices of disposables. Lack of awareness about benefits offered by disposables particularly in infection control is also cited as a reason for the comparatively low sales of nonwovens.
The introduction of innovative products and rustle free diapers are showing the good growth in the market. Though North America and Europe are major markets, Asia-Pacific is emerging as a market with enormous potential for incontinence products due to the aging population, particularly in China. The fastest growing market is surgical nonwoven segment with growth attributed to the constant demand for nonwoven gowns, drapes, masks, caps, sheets and gauze as a means to prevent cross-infections in healthcare facilities.
