Best Non-woven Fabric Market Tips You Will Read This Year

Growing demand from the healthcare industry due to the global COVID-19 outbreak

Non-woven fabric is used to produce several products in the healthcare industry, such as surgical gowns, drapes, aprons, face mask components, and wound dressings. There is a robust demand for non-woven fabric from the healthcare industry. Growing surgeries and the development of new medical facilities are the main driving forces for this market. The hunt for new and better-performing products is pushing the non-woven industry.

The non-woven fabrics market is anticipated to observe significant growth during the covid-19. The rise in cases worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing need for healthcare workers raise the need for disposable hospital supplies and non-woven materials. The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted an enormous increase in the demand for non-woven face masks with the common populace to restrict the spreading of the virus.

A PPE set utilized by a doctor consumes approximately 3.3 meters of fabric. If we consider that a doctor treating COVID-19 patients is using even one set per day, the market for laminated non-woven fabric is still enormous.

The non-woven fabric companies globally are increasing their capacity and spending on purchasing machinery to facilitate the manufacturing of healthcare essentials. Hence, the companies are investing in increasing production capabilities to meet the global market's updated demand. For instance, In 2020, Berry Global Group, Inc announced the expansion of its global Meltex meltblown capacity, with another asset to support the growing global face mask demand.

Rising demand for electric vehicles

Non-woven are important in automotive components, especially due to electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid evolution. Non-woven creates an imperative for transportation textiles that are lighter, quieter, stronger, cleaner, and easier to recycle. They are widely utilized in backings for automotive body cloth, headliners and tufted carpets, trunk liners and speaker covers and in all manner of filter systems.

With charging stations usually hard to find in many parts of the world, enabling electric vehicles to travel longer distances per charge is necessary. Replacing injection-molded plastics with needle-punch and non-woven composites can reduce the weight of standard automotive components by as much as 50 percent.

According to Jeff Stafford, vice president of non-woven, Milliken & Co.'s Textile Division is moving to non-woven for the wheel well liners and airfoils to promote fuel efficiency and recyclability. In addition, the cost of batteries and electronics is a barrier to the adoption of EVs. Using non-woven lithium battery casings, trunk liners, and replacements for tufted carpets and seating, foam minimizes secondary costs and weight.

Moreover, customers have become conscious of recycled content. Recycled fibers manufacture these materials and reduce the volume of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plastics. Therefore companies emphasize using non-woven in certain parts of the automotive. For instance, Some OEMs aim that their interiors be made out of recycled materials at a minimum of 25%.
