Spunbond Nonwovens Market | Analysis and Forecast of Global Industry Participants from 2018 to 2023

OF: Time: 2019-12-30 06:40:47 Click: 2152 spunbonded nonwoven fabric is formed by extruding a thermoplastic polymer fibers having a diameter of about 15-35 microns formed of a filament fiber. These filaments are collected on a conveyor belt in the form of a net, and then bonded to make a spunbond non-woven fabric. Spunbond nonwoven fabrics have excellent burst strength, porosity, thermal and chemical stability, tear strength and tensile strength. The global spunbond nonwovens market is mainly due to the low cost and wide accessibility of adhesive materials and machines, which has increased its preference for other fabrics. Nowadays, due to the permeability, softness and absorbency of the production of medium-weight nonwovens, spunbond technology is preferable to chemical bonding. The unique structure of spunbond non-woven fabric helps keep the skin dry, which is expected to promote the market in the medical and health field. In addition, it is breathable, resistant to liquid penetration, lint-free structure, impermeable to bacteria and sterilizable, and is widely used in the manufacture of personal care and hygiene products. In addition, the demand for spunbond nonwovens from various end-use industries such as automobiles, construction, and agriculture is increasing. It is expected that other products will drive market growth during the evaluation period. The main advantage of using spunbond technology is that it requires less space and is energy efficient. Some of the key developments observed in the market are mergers, expansions, acquisitions, etc. For example, in 2017, Mitsui Chemicals announced the production of polypropylene-based spunbond nonwovens with hollow fibers at its Thai subsidiary MHM Company from 2018. In addition, Avgol, one of the leading manufacturers of nonwoven solutions for the hygiene market, announced the opening of a new manufacturing base in Dimona, Israel, costing US$60 million, enabling Avgol to provide customers with more advanced innovations in baby diaper products, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene. However, fluctuations in raw material prices and high production costs of finished products such as baby diapers may challenge market growth. For example, in spunlace wipes, the raw material is a mixture of 50% absorbent fiber and 50% petroleum-based non-absorbent fiber, which can be polyester or polypropylene. The prices of polyester and polypropylene may cause manufacturers to switch from one to another. Regional analysis The global spunbond nonwovens market is divided into five regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Due to strong demand from major end-use industries such as personal care, automotive, and agriculture, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for a major share of the global spunbond nonwovens market in 2016. The high demand in the U.S. and Canadian healthcare and automotive industries is expected to drive the North American market during the forecast period of 2018-2023. The growth of the European market is attributed to the increased demand for products in the healthcare and automotive sectors in Western Europe. Due to the strong demand for spunbonded nonwovens in the personal care and automotive sectors, the Latin American market is expected to witness rapid growth. The increase in infrastructure and construction activities in the Gulf Cooperation Council may drive product demand for geotextile products. Segment the global spunbond nonwovens market by function, method, polymer type, application and region. Based on functions, the global spunbond nonwovens market is divided into two categories: disposable and non-disposable. The global spunbond nonwovens market is subdivided into conduction, convection and radiation according to heating methods. According to polymer type, the market can be divided into polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polyethylene, polyurethane and rayon. According to applications, the global spunbond nonwovens market is segmented into medical and personal care, automotive, agriculture, geotextile, industrial, packaging, etc. Related tags: Previous: Spunbond non-woven fabric manufacturing method and manufacturing device
