Forecast Technology Textile Will Accelerate Production

　　 Technical textiles The production situation is: 7 million 700 thousand tons of nonwovens (5% growth), 3 million 500 thousand tons of composite materials (6%), and traditional technology textiles including woven fabrics, knitted fabrics and knitted fabrics. textile Net, rope, carpet and so on were 10 million 800 thousand tons (increased by 4%). In Europe and North America, technical textiles account for a relatively high proportion of fiber production, for example, in Germany, about 5.

　　 Nonwovens

Global nonwovens production is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2011~2016 (8% years), to 10 million 900 thousand tons. China will reach 2 million 800 thousand tons (average annual growth rate of 12%) by 2016. The production scale of European nonwovens will reach 2 million 500 thousand tons in 2016 (6% growth), and North America will reach 2 million 200 thousand tons (4% increase), and the Middle East's growth rate will be about 8%, including 15% in Africa and South America. The rapid growth of production scale is due to the rapid growth of demand for disposable products such as wipes and paper diapers in developing countries. For this reason, manufacturers in Japan and Europe set up manufacturing equipment in developing countries. In the future, due to the rise of Chinese manufacturers, the share of Japanese and European nonwovens equipment manufacturers is projected to fall to 46% by 2016.

　　 Compound material

with fibre The production of composite materials (fiber and base metal) will be increased at an average annual rate of 5% (2010~2015 years) and will reach 10 million tons by 2016. The fastest growth rate is Asia, with an average annual growth rate of 7%. On the other hand, North America will slow down considerably, forecasting growth rate of 2%, Western Europe 4%, and 6% in other regions. From the point of view of use, the forecast is expanding in the fields of wind power, automobile, aircraft and so on.

Now, Compound material The most used fiber is 98% of the glass fiber, and the remaining 2% is carbon fiber, aramid fiber and other special fibers. On the other hand, in the aerospace and other high-end fields, the proportion of aramid fiber and carbon fiber is high, carbon fiber is 45% and aramid fiber is 21%.
