Nowadays, the nonwovens industry is no longer an industry labeled as low-quality and marginalized products more than 30 years ago. It has become an industry with indispensable low, medium and high all-round product supply in various terminal application fields, and even extended to the field of high-tech products. With the continuous development of the market, nonwovens have achieved considerable and rapid development in technology, output, quality and function.

According to statistics and forecasts of various international organizations, the global nonwovens market is still growing at a relatively strong momentum, including developed countries and regions such as Europe and the United States. The growth rate of the nonwovens market is faster than that of the traditional textile industry and domestic GDP.

According to a report by Smithers Pira, the annual composite growth rate of the global nonwovens market was 7.6% (7.5% in value and 8.2% in area) in 2013-2018, which exceeded the forecast of 7.2% in 2015.

Spunbonding will still be the main netting process

Spunbonded fabrics, also known as spunbonded or melt-spun nonwovens, include spunbonded nonwovens, melt-blown nonwovens, SMS spunbonded/melt-blown composite nonwovens.

Since 2010, spinning-bonding process has been the highest growth rate of all netting processes. The annual composite growth rate of spinning-bonding process is 8.5% in 2010-2015. It is expected that the annual composite growth rate will be at least 7.3% in 2020. This makes the spinning-bonding process far ahead of the second dry netting process.

Smithers predicts that the total consumption of spunbonded nonwovens will reach 6.2 million tons by 2020.

The grand spinning-melting composite production line has the remarkable characteristics of high-speed production, fine denier, high uniformity, good softness, high strength and low elongation. It has significant advantages in the production of low-weight products, mainly for high-end medical and health fields.

Hongda has successfully put into operation a number of high-speed spinning and melting nonwovens production lines. The production line speed is 600 m/min, and the quality of nonwovens has reached the first-class level in the world, which has been highly recognized by the nonwovens industry at home and abroad.

One-off nonwovens will grow significantly

In 2018, the composite annual growth rate of disposable (disposable) nonwovens market was 7.7%, and that of durable nonwovens market was about 7.4%. It is estimated that the global disposable nonwovens market will reach 19.2 billion US dollars in 2020 and durable nonwovens will reach 31.5 billion US dollars in 2020.

Sales of disposable nonwovens grew slightly higher than durable ones, mainly due to the continued pursuit of better performance and higher value consumer goods by the affluent and middle classes in the Asian market.

Sanitary products are the largest consumer market of disposable nonwovens, mainly including baby diapers, adult incontinence products and female sanitary products. Wipe towel is another important market of disposable nonwovens, which is large and developing rapidly.

Hengtian Jiahua has more than ten SSMMS, SMMS and SSS nonwovens production lines represented by Levin IV and pure cotton spunlace. It has organic cotton, elastic, super-soft, HI-Loft, three-resistance, hydrophilic and other types of nonwovens. In 2019, Hengtian Jiahua EXCEL-TMEXCEL-TM surpasses the series of parallel two-component series products on line, providing super-soft, super-fluffy, super-permeable, super-dry sanitary non-woven products. It can provide super-soft, super-fluffy, super-permeable and super-dry sanitary nonwovens.

Asia will be the largest and fastest growing Nonwovens Market

Asia is the fastest growing region of nonwovens production capacity and output in the world, and currently accounts for the largest share of global production. It has surpassed Europe and North America in the past 10 years. Smithers predicts that Asia's share of the global nonwovens market will reach 47.1% by 2020, with consumption of about 5.7 million tons.

According to the statistics of China Association of Industrial Textiles Industry (hereinafter referred to as the "Association of Middle Manufacturers"): in 2017, China's non-woven production has reached 5.485 million tons, accounting for more than 40% of the world's non-woven production; although the growth rate has fallen, it is expected that China's total non-woven production will exceed 6 million tons by 2019.
