Non-woven Fabric Market

Non-Woven Fabric Market Analysis and Size  

The market for medical nonwoven is anticipated to experience rapid growth in response to the increasing emphasis on reducing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). According to estimates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports approximately 1.7 million HAIs and 99,000 fatalities annually in the United States. HAIs currently rank as the sixth leading cause of death in acute care hospitals in the country. However, surgical nonwoven products have proven to be highly effective in mitigating the risk of HAIs. Consequently, the introduction of medical nonwoven products to the market is a direct response to these influential factors.

Market Definition

Non-woven fabrics are textile such as materials formed through various production methods, such as fiber entanglement in substances such as olefin, polyester, and rayon, along with chemical and thermal bonding. Unlike traditional textiles such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk, nonwoven materials do not necessitate weaving or knitting processes. They are lightweight and find applications in interlinings, insulation, protective clothing, industrial workwear, chemical defense suits, and footwear components.

Global Non-Woven Fabric Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Growing Hygiene and Healthcare Concerns

The global non-woven fabric market is being propelled by increasing awareness of hygiene and healthcare. Nonwoven fabrics are extensively used in medical and personal care products such as surgical masks, diapers, and feminine hygiene products due to their superior absorption, softness, and barrier properties. The ongoing emphasis on health and hygiene, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is driving the demand for nonwoven materials

  • Sustainability and Environmental Concerns

The rising environmental consciousness, there is a growing preference for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Nonwoven fabrics, when produced using recycled materials or biodegradable fibers, offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional textiles. This eco-friendly aspect is attracting both consumers and industries, contributing to the expansion of the non-woven fabric market

Opportunities

  • Innovative Product Development

The non-woven fabric market offers opportunities for innovation in terms of developing new applications and products. Advanced nonwoven materials with enhanced properties, such as improved filtration, durability, and breathability, can cater to emerging market needs, including filtration media, automotive components, and others

  • Expanding Geographical Reach

As awareness of the benefits of nonwoven fabrics grows, there is room for expansion into new geographical regions. Developing economies with rising healthcare and hygiene demands present untapped opportunities for nonwoven fabric manufacturers to expand their market presence and meet evolving consumer needs

Restraints/Challenges

  • Cost and Pricing Pressure

The production of nonwoven fabrics involves various processes and technologies, which can lead to relatively higher manufacturing costs compared to conventional textiles. These elevated costs can pose a restraint, especially in price-sensitive markets where consumers and manufacturers seek cost-effective solutions

  • Raw Material Supply Chain Disruptions

The non-woven fabric industry heavily relies on a consistent and stable supply of raw materials, including synthetic fibers. Disruptions in the supply chain due to factors such as natural disasters or geopolitical tensions can lead to shortages and increased production costs, challenging the industry's stability

Recent Developments

  • In August 2023, Toppan, Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, and Mitsui Chemicals are starting pilot tests to horizontally recycle printed BOPP film into new flexible packaging. This collaborative effort seeks to establish recycling technologies and infrastructure
  • In March 2023, Innovia Films, a leading producer of specialty BOPP and CPP films, is expanding its Leipzig, Germany unit with an 8.8-meter-wide co-extrusion line to meet sustainability-driven demand for thin gauge label films. This unique technology, boasting 36,000 tons of annual capacity, prioritizes energy efficiency and begins production in H2 2024
