H1 2023: Non Woven Fabric prices exhibited fluctuating patterns in Asia Pacific region in H1 2023. The uptick in Non-Woven Fabric prices in the initial two months of 2023 resulted from heightened manufacturing costs, primarily influenced by increased Polypropylene raw material expenses. The surge in demand for N95 face masks and PPE strained the Non-Woven Fabric market. However, as the demand for masks and PPE subsided, Non-Woven Fabric availability increased, prompting a subsequent price decrease. Moreover, the recommencement of production activities in Asian firms and the reduction of supply-chain issues introduced a mixed dynamic outlook to Non-Woven Fabric market. Throughout the second quarter of 2023, the Non-Woven Fabric market experienced a predominantly mixed trajectory, primarily influenced by fluctuations in the costs of key raw materials such as polyamide, polyethylene, and polypropylene in the Asia-Pacific region. Demand from sectors like Medical, Hygiene and personal Care industries exhibited moderate trends. Consumer demand was restrained, marked by bulk purchasing hesitancy amid lingering economic uncertainty in Asia. The region displayed high supply indicators, absence of plant shutdowns, and enhancements in the supply chain. However, the overall demand was moderate, with sanitary consumables held a significant share in buying sentiments. International off-take for non-woven fabrics indicated a subdued outlook.
The global Non Woven Fabric market stood at approximately 19 million tonnes in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period until 2032.
Nonwoven fabrics are manufactured from a combination of short-staple fibers and long filament fibers, united through mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes. These fibers can be arranged in a single direction or dispersed randomly to form webs, mats, or sheets. Nonwoven fabrics may consist of a single layer or multiple layers. Notably, the production process of nonwoven fabrics deviates from traditional spinning or weaving methods, as they are directly created from distinct fibers or materials like molten or dissolved plastic. This method is considered the simplest approach to fabric creation from fibers. Predominantly, polyester and viscose (rayon) stand out as the most frequently employed fibers, with additional options including nylon, microfiber, acrylic cotton, and bamboo fiber.
Nonwoven fabrics, characterized by their unique composition of short-staple fibers and long filament fibers, serve a multitude of applications across diverse industries. In the sector of hygiene, these fabrics play a pivotal role in the production of diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products. Their significance extends to the medical and healthcare sector, where nonwoven fabrics find application in surgical gowns, face masks, wound dressings, and disposable medical wipes. In agriculture, these fabrics contribute to crop protection, landscaping, and serve as a foundational layer for mulching materials. The automotive industry utilizes nonwovens for interior components, upholstery, and as filtration materials in air and fuel filters. Construction benefits from nonwovens in geotextiles, building wraps, and roofing materials. These fabrics also find a place in the packaging sector as wrapping materials, protective covers, and in bag production. Nonwovens play a crucial role in filtration applications, serving as effective media in air and water filtration systems. In the realm of fashion, they contribute to footwear, as well as interlinings and linings for apparel. Their utility extends to cleaning and wiping applications, with nonwoven fabrics being common in cleaning wipes, disposable cleaning cloths, and industrial wiping solutions. Home furnishings benefit from the versatility of nonwoven materials in items such as curtains, upholstery, and bedding. Geotextiles crafted from nonwoven fabrics contribute to soil stabilization, erosion control, and efficient drainage systems. Furthermore, nonwovens are utilized in various industrial applications, including insulation materials, protective clothing, and industrial wipes. The adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and specific properties of nonwoven fabrics underscore their indispensable role in a wide array of applications, making them a cornerstone in numerous industries.
Nonwoven fabrics experience robust demand driven by diverse market drivers. The surge in hygiene and healthcare awareness propels the adoption of nonwoven fabrics in the production of essential medical items such as surgical masks, gowns, and hygiene products. The global trend towards disposable products, spanning personal care, healthcare, and food packaging, further amplifies the demand.
