Future development prospects of pp non-woven fabrics

China's polypropylene (PP) industry has developed rapidly in the past 10-15 years. Its annual production capacity has increased from less than 4 million tons in 2002 to 16.88 million tons in 2014. The rapid growth of production capacity in the next few years will push China to replace the United States as the world. The largest polypropylene producer. As early as 2008, China’s polypropylene production capacity accounted for 14% of the world’s total production capacity. From 2009 to 2012, China’s polypropylene production capacity increased at a rate of approximately 1 million tons per year. It is expected that China’s polypropylene production capacity will expand to more than 1,800 by 2015 Million tons.


Polypropylene fiber material is mainly used to produce polypropylene fiber. Polypropylene fiber can be roughly divided into polypropylene non-woven fabric (also called non-woven fabric), BCF carpet yarn, and polypropylene tow for cigarettes. The production volume The largest is non-woven fabrics, accounting for more than 70% of the total products.


Throughout 2014, China's polypropylene fiber industry showed a trend of rapid development. According to statistics, the consumption of polypropylene fiber materials accounted for approximately 14.33% of the total polypropylene. The actual production volume of polypropylene fiber for the whole year was 3.614 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 40% over 2013, and the largest increase over the past four years.


The fundamental reason for the rapid development of polypropylene fiber lies in its outstanding advantages: easy processing, low energy consumption for production and processing; low density (80% of cotton, 65% of polyester), stable chemical properties, and no bacteria. It has good hygienic properties; anti-mildew and antibacterial; low water absorption rate, remarkable hydrophobic and moisture conductivity; abundant raw material sources and low price. Although it also has defects such as poor dyeing, easy plastic deformation, and insufficient springback resistance, it can be improved by modification technology.


The excellent performance gives birth to the huge potential of the polypropylene fiber market. From the perspective of the domestic polypropylene fiber consumption in 2008-2014, except for 2010 and 2012, due to the slowdown of domestic production capacity and demand growth, there was a certain decline in 2013. The growth rates in 2014 and 2014 were 14.68% and 31.74%. Polypropylene fiber is widely used in non-woven fabrics, clothing fabrics, carpet silk, medical surgical supplies, civilian sanitary products and other fields.


Industrial fiber materials accounted for 49%, ranking first. In terms of clothing and daily use, polypropylene fiber is still in its infancy and has great potential for future development. It is a good choice for interested entrepreneurs.


The non-woven fabric industry is considered to be an industry in the 21st century. The current development momentum is rapid. my country's non-woven fabric production is growing at an average annual growth rate of more than 15%. The total output in 2014 reached 3.614 million tons, ranking first in Asia Bit. The main feature of non-woven fabrics is to focus on high-tech penetration and the use of new materials. It is widely used in construction, medical, environmental protection, clothing, automotive, aerospace and other industries. It is an important industrial textile and is compared with products with the same function. Has a higher added value and high-efficiency competitive advantage. In recent years, the growth rate of global demand for non-woven fabrics has always been higher than the economic growth rate, and China, as the fastest growing country in the world, has unlimited growth potential for non-woven fabrics in the future.
