Dublin, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — “Polypropylene Nonwovens Market Size, Share and Trends Report 2023″ (By Product (Spunbond, Staple Fiber), By Application (Hygiene, Industrial), Forecasts by Region and segments) – The “2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com reports. The global polypropylene nonwovens market size is expected to reach US$45.2967 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5% from 2023 to 2030. This market growth can be attributed to civil engineering, agriculture and transportation activities in North America.
In addition, there is growing demand for polypropylene nonwoven products in end-use industries such as hygiene, medical, automotive, agriculture and furniture. High demand from the hygiene industry for polypropylene fabrics used in the production of hygiene products for children, women and adults is likely to contribute to the growth of the industry. Polypropylene (PP) is the main polymer used in the production of nonwovens, followed by other polymers such as polyethylene, polyester and polyamide. PP is a relatively cheap polymer with the highest yield (per kilogram of fiber). In addition, PP has the highest versatility and the lowest nonwoven weight-to-weight ratio. However, polypropylene prices are highly dependent on raw material prices and there are a large number of regional and global players in the market. The largest players in the polypropylene production are actively investing in development through the modernization of research and production assets. Polypropylene non-woven fabrics are mainly used in personal care products, including baby diapers, sanitary pads, training pants, dry and wet wipes, cosmetic applicators, paper towels, adult products, etc. Incontinence products such as top sheets , back sheets, elastic ears, fastening systems, bandages, etc. PP fabric has excellent absorbency, softness, elasticity, durability, tear resistance, opacity and breathability. Therefore, it is mainly used in hygiene products. Spunbond technology dominates the polypropylene nonwovens market and will occupy a major share of the entire market by 2022. The low cost and ease of manufacturing process associated with this technology are key factors in increasing the market share of these products. Demand for meltblown and composite products in geotextiles and industrial applications is expected to increase due to their high moisture resistance and high strength properties. However, high costs associated with melt extruded polypropylene nonwovens are expected to hamper its market growth over the forecast period. The polypropylene nonwovens industry is highly competitive due to the presence of numerous manufacturers. Companies in the market are investing heavily in research and development to improve the quality and reduce the weight of polypropylene products. High production capacity, extensive distribution network and market reputation are key factors that provide competitive advantage to multinational companies in this industry. Companies in the market use mergers and acquisitions and capacity expansion strategies to strengthen their position in the competitive market. In 2022, Europe will account for the largest market share. However, Asia is expected to emerge as one of the leading regions in the baby diaper market during the forecast period. Due to the high demand for spunbond nonwovens for baby diapers in Asia, several companies such as Toray Industries, Schouw & Co., Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd., Mitsui Chemicals and others have expanded their production capabilities in Asia to meet local demand . The above factors are expected to drive the growth of polypropylene nonwoven fabrics. Highlights of the Polypropylene Nonwovens Market Report
The meltblown polypropylene nonwoven products segment is expected to dominate the industry with a growth rate of 6.2% between 2023 and 2030. The microfibers in meltblown products have a rounded cross-section and smooth surface texture, giving they have filtering properties, softness and a high insulating surface area.
The superior barrier properties, good absorbency properties and enhanced filtration efficiency of melt extruded polypropylene fabric are expected to drive its demand in the areas of liquid absorption, insulation and filtration.
Staple fiber polypropylene nonwovens are becoming increasingly important in medical applications due to their finer filtration and lower pressure drop than any other polypropylene fabric. Increasing penetration of polypropylene staple fiber nonwovens into medical products such as gloves, medical packaging, surgical gowns, masks, surgical drapes and hoods is expected to drive the market growth. Surgical drapes, surgical gowns and masks are expected to become major products , driving demand for short-fiber polypropylene nonwovens.
Hygiene applications will dominate the market in 2022, accounting for 55.9% of the revenue market share. Disposable and absorbent nonwovens have become an important part of consumers’ daily lives. Improving consumer lifestyles and increasing consumer preferences for skin health are key factors driving the demand for nonwovens for hygiene purposes.
Compared with traditional textiles, polypropylene nonwovens have superior smoothness, softness, comfort, stretchability, liquid resistance and absorbency, so there is a high demand for the production of sanitary products.
Polypropylene nonwovens are used in industry to make coated fabrics, display felts, tapes, conveyor belts, cable insulation, air conditioning filters, semiconductor polishing pads, sound-absorbing felts, etc. Increased investment in the industrial sector of developing countries around the world is expected , including China, India and Brazil, will have a positive impact on the growth of the polypropylene nonwovens industry during the forecast period.
