The market for nonwoven fabrics is witnessing significant growth, driven by increasing demand in key high-value sectors such as healthcare, hygiene, filtration, automotive, and construction. These fabrics are advantageous due to their lightweight nature, exceptional strength, and cost efficiency, making them ideal for applications including disposable medical devices, personal hygiene products, geotextiles, and industrial filtration systems.
Furthermore, stringent regulatory requirements concerning wastewater treatment and air quality have amplified the need for advanced filtration media. Nonwoven fabrics excel in this area through superior particle retention capabilities, enhanced chemical resistance, and adaptability to specific needs. Concurrently, rising investments in hospital infrastructure and biopharmaceutical manufacturing are further elevating the demand for sterile, single-use nonwoven materials, such as surgical gowns, drapes, and face masks. These trends underscore the critical role of nonwoven textiles in delivering high-performance, contamination-free, and regulatory-compliant solutions across various industries.
Dry laid segment accounted for second-largest share of nonwoven fabric market in 2024
In 2024, Dry Laid technology emerged as the second largest segment within the nonwoven fabrics market, driven by its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and capability to bond diverse fibers. This nonwoven fabric construction technique utilizes mechanical, air, or carded fiber deposition onto a belt or conveyor system, making it particularly well-suited for applications in hygiene products, wipes, filtration media, and automotive manufacturing. The versatility of Dry Laid technology, combined with its compatibility with thermal, chemical, and mechanical bonding processes, enhances its applicability across various sectors. As industries increasingly demand lightweight, efficient, and high-performance nonwoven products, the demand for Dry Laid technology is projected to experience consistent growth in the coming years.
Building & construction segment accounted for second-largest share of nonwoven fabrics market in 2024
