Market Outlook For Key Global End Products Of Industrial Textiles

Consumption of industrial end products in Asia plays a very important role in world economic growth. < p >

At present, the countries with faster growth prospects are mainly China, India, Korea and other developing countries.

< /p >

< p > 2012, sales of global industrial a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > products were about $129 billion, an increase of 2.5% over 2011. Of them, Asia accounted for 45% of the global industrial textiles market.

< /p >

< p > in the Asian industrial textiles market, the consumption expenditure in China accounts for 50%, which is a very important country.

Over the past 20 years, China's consumption of industrial textiles has increased at an annual rate of 10%.

However, China's industrial textiles are usually low-end products and intermediate materials, and high technology and high value added products still need to be imported.

Compared with the US and Europe, China's labor cost is relatively low. It is expected that China's industrial textile industry will continue to have an advantage in the global market.

< /p >

In addition, in 2013, India accounted for only 9% of the global market share of industrial textiles. About 67% of them produced low-end products, while only 33% produced high-end products in P.

The reason is that the industrial textiles and nonwovens industry in India is still in its infancy, and its advanced technology is not in place relative to the United States, Europe and China.

< /p >

In general, the growth rate of international industrial market economy slowed down in 2013, but many analysts believe that this moderate slowdown is healthy. This helps to ease inflation and is the inevitable way to ensure the long-term advantages of the industry.

< /p >

< p > in 2014 and beyond, the market share of industrial textiles manufacturers in the United States and other developed countries is expected to increase.

It is mainly due to the demand in some market segments, such as automobiles, national defense, geosynthetics, safety and technology products, and graphic fabrics.

In my view, the successful manufacturers in the 2014 should be those who can significantly invest in innovative products and clearly communicate their products and service values to customers.

This time I will focus on the analysis of the key terminal products mentioned above: safety technology products, narrow fabrics, geosynthetics and graphic fabrics.

< /p >

P > < strong > 1, the sales of global safety protection products are expected to increase by 6% < /strong > < /p >

P > core judgment: the profit margin of the U.S. safety and protection product market is 17% in 2013, which is mainly due to the investment M & A of large multinational companies and the development of new technology, which makes it difficult for smaller companies to enter the market.

< /p >

In 2013, sales in the global security and protective products market amounted to about $22 billion, and the average annual growth rate of the market reached 6%. P

This market has been showing a slow growth trend before 2009, but since 2010, the market has rebounded, achieving a 5% growth.

< /p >

Sales in the US security and defense products market reached $5 billion in 2013 and increased by 5~7 percentage points per year. P

In 2013, the profit margin of the US supply market for safety and protection was 17%. The main reason for this figure is that large multinational companies invest in mergers and acquisitions, and new technology development, which makes it difficult for smaller companies to enter the market and compete.

< /p >

< p > the proportion of industrial protective clothing market in the United States and Europe is more than half that of the global industrial protective clothing market.

Worldwide, the flame-retardant protective clothing market grew fastest in the Asia Pacific region, reaching 430 million US dollars in 2013.

Its growth in Asia is mainly driven by the construction of new manufacturing plants in the Middle East, India, China and Vietnam and the smooth start of new construction projects.

< /p >

Besides P, apart from being the most populous country in the world, China and India also have a large number of industrial workers who are not protected (not wearing protective clothing).

This makes the protective clothing market have unlimited potential for growth in the future.

"Made in Asia" plays an important role in the global manufacturing industry. Therefore, the demand for protective equipment for workers will only increase in the future.

< /p >

In October 2013, the International Industrial Textiles Association (P) conducted an investigation of the US safety and protection products market. According to the report, the US suppliers of safety and protection products and manufacturers expect that the global sales of products for safety and protection will increase by 6% in 2014 compared with 2013.

These markets include military "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "> clothing" /a ", construction and industry, and the automotive industry, of which the automotive industry will have a strong influence on the safety and protective products market in 2014.

In addition, manufacturers of terminal products in the traditional safety and protective products market will continue to face fierce competition from cheap imports from China.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 2 the future growth rate of the narrow fabric market in Asia will reach 7% < /strong > /p >

< p > core judgment: in 2013, the sales of narrow fabric market in the United States increased by about 2%. The narrow fabric market in Asia will grow strongly in the next few years, reaching 7%, about 5.5% in South America, while the United States is still growing at an annual rate of 2%.

< /p >

< p > the narrow fabric Institute of America has conducted in-depth research on the narrow fabric market in North America in 2013. The research market covers the United States, Canada and Mexico.

According to the statistics of the narrow fabric Institute of the United States, there are 2 new niche segments in the narrow fabric market, namely, the automobile safety belt and the pet traction belt market.

< /p >

< p > International Trade Association for industrial textiles also took part in the survey.

The survey focused on 5 key market segments: vehicle seat belts, military textiles and clothing, safety products such as binding rope, pport products such as hand puller and sling, and medical products such as gauze and bandage.

< /p >

< p > 2013, the sales of narrow fabric market in the United States increased by about 2%. The narrow fabric market in Asia (China) will grow strongly in the next few years, about 7%, and about 5.5% in South America, while the United States is still growing at an annual rate of 2%.

< /p >

< p > safety belt.

In 2013, the number of new light vehicle sales in the United States increased by 85% to 15 million 500 thousand, and the seat belt fabric was 230 million meters.

The United States automobile and light vehicle market is a positive source of growth in the narrow fabric of the United States, because selling a new light vehicle is equivalent to selling 28 square meters of fabric.

In 2012, the fabric used in the light vehicle market in the United States was about 403 million square meters.

< /p >

< p > Military Textiles and garments.

Compared with 2011, the consumption of Military Textiles and clothing in the United States decreased by 16% in 2012, but in 2013, the consumption of textiles and clothing by US Defense Department and Defense Logistics Bureau increased by 6.3% to US $1 billion 700 million, so the sales of narrow fabric products in US Military Textiles and clothing increased by 1% over the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > safety products.

Sales of safety products, especially protective belts, increased by 4% in 2013, as construction projects began to grow again.

In addition, the United States has committed to allocate $100 billion over the next two years for federal highway and pit pport. The Canadian government has committed to allocate $70 billion over the next 10 years for infrastructure and building construction.

In the next few years, the United States and Canada are expected to grow by 3~5 percentage points each year in terms of engineering construction.

< /p >

< p > pport products.

In the US pportation market, sales of bundles and sling are all increasing, but because of the cheaper imports from China and Korea, the United States tied rope manufacturers generally feel that sales have been affected.

However, it is gratifying that the market can still guarantee an annual growth rate of 3%, mainly due to the binding rope instead of wire rope and chain.

< /p >

< p > medical products.

The global medical product market increased by 6% in 2013, and it is expected to continue to grow by 6% by 2014.

The market has a bright future in the United States, largely thanks to the 80 million baby boom in this country.

Since 2009, although the industrial textiles industry in the US / Canada has shrunk, the narrow fabric market is still steady.

Small to medium-sized enterprises have found their niche markets, such as health care and safety.

In addition, because of the competitive price of imported products, some overseas companies are pferring their production facilities to prepare for their return to the United States and Canada.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 3 the growth of the American geosynthetics market will reach 4% < /strong > /p >

< p > core judgment: according to the International Industrial Textiles Association, in 2012, there were 535 coal ash plants in the United States, which meant there was a demand for gaskets in the US. This means that the 5~7 market in the United States will have a sales volume of $300 ~350 in the future.

< /p >

< p > at present, there are about 50 geosynthetics manufacturing companies in the US market.

In 2013, the US / Canada geosynthetics market was US $2 billion 200 million, an increase of 3% compared with 2012.

< /p >

The MAP-21 Transport Act promulgated in the early years of P > 2013 can meet the requirements of geospatial related technologies applied to pport infrastructure construction and watershed management.

The MAP-21 bill has promoted the use of innovative projects, including digital 3D modeling technology, and many organizations and service companies will be widely used in the design and management of infrastructure projects.

According to MAP-21 regulations, the government will allocate $105 billion to improve the surface traffic facilities in the United States.

The entry into force of the MAP-21 bill can alleviate the uncertainty of some highway and bridge construction projects.

In addition, in 2013, the MAP-21 bill has helped the US geosynthetics market achieve positive growth.

< /p >

The P interstate highway system is the most comprehensive highway system in the world.

Its huge scale, rapid development and subsequent improvement have changed the use of traffic roads.

Although the federal government's interstate highway plan will have an impact on the pavement market in September 2014, it is still uncertain, but it is certain that the geosynthetics market in the United States will achieve a 4% growth rate in 2014.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, when predicting the geosynthetics market in the US in 2014, it was found that the obvious problem in the market is the lack of supervision in the coal ash plant.

According to statistics from the International Industrial Textiles Association, in 2012, there were 535 coal ash plants in the United States, which meant that the American geosynthetics market could generate 3 million ~350 million sales in the next 5~7 years.

< /p >

< p > < strong > 4 Canadian graphic fabric consumption will increase by 3% < /strong > < /p >

< p > core judgment: the most potential products in graphic fabrics are sublimation products. In addition, wide inkjet products, such as body stickers and soft signboards, especially (POP) signs, as well as trade shows and indoor / outdoor banners will continue to grow.

< /p >

Nowadays, the graphic fabric market usually uses inkjet printing (such as UV, solvent, latex or dye sublimation) or digital printing to print graphics onto the fabric. P

Outdoor banners usually use ethylene base pressure polyester material; indoor banners often use digital printing to make graphic fabrics on polyester, cotton canvas, nylon and other materials.

< /p >

Compared with 2012, the sales of graphic fabrics in the United States increased by 3% in 2013. The market has achieved good sales performance for 2 consecutive years in the past 2 years.

In 2013, Canada's total consumption of graphic fabric processing fabrics was 3 million 60 thousand square meters.

The International Association of industrial textiles predicts that the consumption of Canadian graphic fabrics will increase by 3% to 3 million 180 thousand square meters in 2014.

< /p >

< p > the most potential product of graphic fabric is the sublimation product.

In addition, as companies begin to invest more in promotional advertising and advertising, wide inkjet products will continue to grow. The obvious broad inkjet products are mainly body stickers and soft signboards, especially (POP) signboards, trade shows and indoor / outdoor banners.

< /p >

< p > digital printing textile is a fast growing market in the United States.

Compared with 2012, sales growth in the market reached 10% in 2013.

The advantages of digital printing textiles are: providing customized support, enabling short-term production operations, and using less water and dyes to make it more environmentally friendly.

Factors driving the growth of digital printing textiles include the development of high-speed, high-density industrial inkjet printing heads (this print head is worth between $300 thousand and $500 thousand), as well as the development of new latex and sustainable UV inks.

< /p >

< p > smaller enterprises compete with larger and well-equipped graphic fabric enterprises. They may also consider the special application of products or service differentiation.

They not only want to "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "investment" /a "new technology, reduce operating costs while improving environmental protection coefficient, but also to improve production efficiency, develop new markets and equipment, and provide customers with a full range of services and solutions.
