Industry status of non-woven fabric manufacturing

Non-woven fabric is a kind of non-woven fabric, which directly uses polymer chips, short fibers or filaments to form fibers through airflow or mechanical netting, and then undergo hydroentangling, needle punching, or hot rolling reinforcement, and finally finishing The resulting non-woven fabric. Data from the 'Foresight of China's Non-woven Fabric Manufacturing Industry Production and Sales Demand and Investment Forecast Analysis Report' shows that in recent years, the growth rate of world non-woven fabric demand has always been higher than that of the global economy. The global non-woven fabric production is mainly concentrated in the United States, accounting for 41% of the world's total, Western Europe accounting for 30%, Japan accounting for 8%, China 3.5%, and other regions 17.5%. Among the terminal applications of non-woven fabrics, hygienic absorbents (especially diapers) have the fastest growth, and the medical textiles, automotive textiles, footwear and artificial leather markets are also showing new rapid development. China's non-woven fabric industry started late, but it has developed rapidly. In the early 1980s, the output was less than 10,000 tons. In the mid to late 1990s, China set off a climax in the development of non-woven products. In addition to domestic production lines, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces have also introduced production lines from abroad. The development speed of China's non-woven products greatly exceeds the average development speed of the textile industry, with a high growth rate of 8-10% every year, making it the fastest growing industry in the textile industry. Because China's non-woven fabric industry has moved toward high-end, many companies and products have strong international competitiveness. And through years of exploration and development, China's non-woven fabric enterprises have come out with their own characteristics. For a period of time in the future, China's non-woven fabric industry should focus on adjusting the variety structure, improving the grade, and transforming to diversification, serialization, specialization and high performance. It is expected that in the next ten years, the demand for non-woven fabrics in various application industries will continue to increase, and segmentation, functionalization and industrialization will become the direction of technical research and development of non-woven fabrics.
