2007 European non-woven fabric production continues to expand

EDANA, the European non-woven materials Association, recently released statistics on non-woven fabrics in 2007, showing that non-woven fabric production in Europe continues to expand. The output in 2007 was 1,654,200 tons, up from 2006. 3%. EDANA and Linda jointly announced that they will release the world three-year statistics and Forecast Report for July-2007 at the end of 2012. The last report was released in 2005. The highlight of this report is a new field, the international trade flow of non-woven fabrics. Production and sales data of non-woven fabrics in 2007 released by EDANA: according to data released by EDANA, which serves non-woven fabrics and related production industries, greater Europe ( Western Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe, Turkey and CIS)In 2007, the output of non-woven fabrics increased by 7. 3%, reaching 1,654,200 tons. In contrast, the output in 2006 was 1,541,600 tons, an annual increase. 1%. According to the assessment ( Based on the same samples from the company in 2006 and 2007) The average price of non-woven fabrics seems to drop by 2%, from per kilogram. 34 euros to 3. 27 euros. The total transaction volume of European non-woven fabric industry is about 54. 0. 1 billion euros. The trend of production methods has an effect on various bonding methods of dry fiber mesh non-woven fabrics. Jacques Prigneaux, EDANA business analyst, said that at present, the needle sewing method is still the main one, up 10%, but in fact, the hydraulic binding method ( Hydroxide) It has already accounted for the largest proportion, with a significant increase of 10. 1%. ' On the other hand, hot melt non-woven fabrics grew by nearly 9% in 2007. Air Network non-woven fabric yield is 2006 growth 10. 4%, mainly due to the expansion of delivery volume in the field of sanitary products. The main final use area of non-woven fabrics is still the sanitary products market, accounting for 33% of the delivery volume, reaching 538,100 tons, up in 2007. 4%. The largest growth area of non-woven fabrics in 2007 is Civil Engineering (14. 8%)And buildings/roofs (11%) , Followed by the tarpaulin product field, the superposition percentage is (10. 7%) These branches fully demonstrate that the production of non-woven fabrics is currently developing and the innovative areas of non-woven products (Whether it's industrial or daily life) Europe has formed a mature non-manufacturing cloth market. Polypropylene (Fiber or granular) It is still the most important polymerization used in European non-woven fabric industry, with a consumption of 812,863 tons, accounting for of all fiber and polymerization slices. 7%, but polyester maintained the highest growth rate (10. 4%). In 2007, the import and export balance of European non-woven coil showed a surplus. EU 27 countries together export 246,893 tons of non-woven fabrics ( In contrast, 216,599 tons were exported in 2006)The export value is almost 10. 1. 7 billion euros, an increase of 14% over the previous year, and an increase of over the previous year. 4%.

Although 2007 European non-woven fabric production and delivery details are only available to EDANA members, EDANA will soon complete a report summary. (Source: Alibaba)
