Analysis summary and market prospect analysis of the new market of automotive non-woven fabrics in 2019

In recent years, non-woven fabrics have been widely used in the automotive industry. Today, more than 40 parts of cars are made of non-woven fabrics, such as trunk linings, carpets and fuel filters. The performance of non-woven fabric can achieve the good performance and safety of auto parts, can reduce the weight of the car, improve the comfort of the car, and highlight the beauty of the car. The advanced technology can make the car heat insulation, combustion, waterproof, and extreme resistance. The temperature and anti-wear effect are greatly improved. The use of nonwoven fabrics in automobiles continues to expand because it is easier to install nonwoven components in automobile assembly than traditional components. Can be customized according to the application function, such as thermoforming, embossing, coating and printing can be used in the production process. All in all, they can make cars safer, more attractive, more durable, more cost-effective and more sustainable. The versatility and many advantages of non-woven fabrics are widely recognized by airplanes, trains, ships, spacecraft and satellites. The automotive industry is one of the world's largest industrial high-performance materials application markets, with a market potential of more than 2 billion euros. Frank Heislitz, Chief Technology Officer of Freudenberg Performance Materials, said, 'Overall, the market is growing by more than 7% annually. This is faster than global car production. He said that replacing traditional materials with innovative high-performance materials is a major factor in growth. These lightweight, high-performance material solutions can support the development trend of electric vehicles. Data provided by EDANA shows that non-woven fabrics are 15%-30% lighter than traditional materials and 15%-30% lighter than traditional materials, which can reduce the weight of the car by more than 2 kg. A car made of non-woven fabric can save 55 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions between when a new car is scrapped and when it is used. Therefore, the number of cars registered in the EU every year reaches 13 million, considering that if these cars are all non-woven, then 13 million cars can save 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That is 250,000 cars. Marc-andre Drouin of Texel says he sees customers looking for lightweight materials, some of which used to produce between 800 and 1,200 grams per square foot, but now produce 300 grams per square foot. As a manufacturer of needle punched non-woven fabrics, Texel faces many challenges and is fully prepared to meet new challenges. We all have lighter weight, more capable needle-punched materials, especially the scrim layer inside the roof lining. He emphasized that in addition to the past car parts, such as the roof and trunk lining, Drouin Texel has been working with Lydall to develop insulation materials for the turbocharged area of u200bu200bthe car. 'We even see the demand for high-temperature materials, and manufacturers want all parts of the car to be protected. '
