The Future Of The Non-Woven Market Will Be Dominated By The Asia Pacific Region.

How does the international industry view the future non-woven market structure?

Ebola's future business opportunities

The outbreak of Ebola outbreak in Africa last year is a health worker wearing a full set of white equipment to join the affected people in Africa.

Together with African people, they occupy the front page headlines of the world's major news media.

There is no doubt that these one hundred percent news reports are true, so the crisis is also true.

This kind of Disaster News Photo Report not only provides materials and associations for studios who specializes in disaster films, but also attracts the attention of the textile industry all over the world.

The reason is that the health workers who go to Africa are not infected too much. The protective clothing they wear is no longer able to withstand the invasion of Ebola.

The United States Agency for international development and assistance (USAID) believes that it is possible to develop an Ebola virus.

It has become the key to win the battle against Ebola virus, so they set up the Development Award for the "protection against Ebola" protective clothing.

The center for bioengineering innovation and design of Hopki university has developed a special protective clothing for health workers at the first time.

This seemingly simple but need to use technical means to achieve that is closed and temperature control and breathable protective clothing.

Soon after that, the University joined the plan set up by the international health organization.

The plan calls for innovative design ideas around the world. They have 1500 kinds of development concepts, namely, to help combat health workers on the front-line to protect the deadly virus.

The development of this protective clothing requires absolute safety and comfort. It is suitable for the West African country with moist heat and must have the function of heat pfer and moisture pfer.

Before that, hundreds of health workers died of Ebola virus infection in 2014.

The cause of death is the protective effect of protective clothing is not good.

The new protective clothing developed by Hopki university can effectively isolate viruses.

This new type of protective clothing has a wide line of sight and a combination of protective clothing. The ventilation holes are located on the top of the head. The wire drawing on the back can effectively reduce the chance of virus invasion. Compared with the existing ones, this cocoon type protective clothing has increased the functions of electric temperature control and natural circulation of dry air, among which the biggest medical function is shielding the invasion of viruses.

The principle of temperature control is taken from the cardiac arrest emergency device developed by the University cardiology expert for heart disease patients.

This protective clothing almost embodies.

The highest level.

However, in fact, the term "medical textiles" is not what we call the mainstream products of technical textiles, and even the mainstream media all over the world do not see it as a key link in the fight against Ebola virus.

In fact, the nonwoven industry or technology textile industry has not developed or discussed it as a key product, and this demand is imminent and growing.

The world's Nonwoven Market is entering the fast lane of development.

The above-mentioned medical textiles are only one of the most urgent developing nonwovens.

According to the world's nonwoven authority, the global average annual growth rate of nonwovens is 6.97% over the past 2014-2019 years.

Nowadays, the nonwoven products are widely used in the construction industry, and the scope of their use is more and more extensive, and their usage is also increasing. For example, the demand for building insulation, roofing materials and geotextiles, non-woven products is expanding rapidly.

The use of infrastructure and buildings is increasing in every country, especially in BRICs countries. The double growth of population and economy represents the driving force of the world economy.

Like other developing countries, demand for disposable medical products is growing strongly.

With the growth of population, the market of personal hygiene products in developing countries is expanding, and the demand for medical products has also increased rapidly.

Of course, it is very important that technical textiles and non-woven goods are different.

Technical textiles are a high value-added textile product that provides additional functions rather than from fiber to fashion supply chain products. Technical textiles contain high performance fibers, yarns, knitted fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven, fringed and composite fabrics.

But spinning is another matter.

According to the world's most important and most authoritative nonwoven organization, the European disposable goods and nonwoven Association (EDANA) says that non-woven products should be defined as forming mesh fibers, filaments, or processed materials that can be bonded together, that is, non-woven goods, including textiles, knitted or knitted goods.

Almost all nonwovens belong to technical textiles, but not all technical textiles belong to non-woven fabrics.

However,

But it's changeable.

Unstable raw material prices directly affect the price of non-woven goods, and are also subject to factors such as crude oil or crude oil prices.

Manufacturers around the world must determine the price of products based on the cost of products and the trend of crude oil prices.

Therefore, price factors also affect the global Nonwovens Market.

According to the Research Report of Daguan Research Institute, global health, industrial, medical, geotechnical and agricultural fields have become the main market of polypropylene. By 2020, its market value will reach US $9 billion, while infant diapers and adult health products will become the main market driving factors of polypropanol nonwoven products in the next 6 years.

In the global market, China and India will become the largest market, India's non-woven market is no more than China, but the demand potential is larger than that of China, with an average annual growth of 8-10%.

With the continuous growth of GDP in the two countries of China and India, people's purchasing power will also increase.

Unlike India, the development of China's nonwovens industry in the past few years has been at full swing. The total output has ranked second in the world. New textile products, such as medical textiles, flame retardancy, protection and special composite materials, are emerging in a new developing trend.

China's nonwovens industry is now undergoing deep pformation, with certain uncertainties.

Some observers even believe that the annual growth rate of India's nonwoven market can reach 12-15%.

Today, India produces 190 thousand tons of nonwoven goods per year. In 2014, India per capita consumed 155 grams, while in 2015 it increased to 355 grams, reaching 600 grams by 2020.

India's competitiveness can not be ignored

About 12% of India's textile industry is non-woven, and the global non-woven products account for 24% of the textile industry.

According to relevant media in India, the India nonwovens market will reach $45 million in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge to the textile industry in India.

How big is this opportunity? We can draw a conclusion from the following analysis.

Many multinational nonwoven enterprises have stepped into India.

In 2015, 50 Western companies established non-woven manufacturing plants in India.

Almost all foreign companies believe that due to the increase of disposable income, the consumption of technical textiles in India will also be greatly improved.

India is the largest textile economy after China. The world's first consumption areas are the United States, Western Europe and Japan. These three regions account for 65% of the total global non-woven consumption.

The annual share of China's nonwoven average annual consumption is also higher, with an average annual increase rate of 15%.

A survey in 2013 found that the level of non-woven consumption in India is actually very low.

India has a large population, but the per capita consumption of non-woven goods is only 0.04 US dollars, while the overall per capita consumption level in the Asia Pacific region is US $7.5, Western Europe is 34.90 dollars, and the United States is 42.20 dollars.

Although India's nonwoven consumption accounts for only 8.6% of the world's total, it has improved rapidly. Not only that, India's labor force is cheaper than China's. that's why the west is optimistic about India's consumption potential.

According to the European international testing and consulting agency, India has increased 20% of its non-woven consumption level in 2014-2018 years. The reason is that India has a high birth rate, especially women, which has huge consumption potential.

By 2018, every woman in India will spend $2 on non-woven hygiene products. If so, the total level of consumption can reach US $82 billion 400 million.

From India's five year plan, we can see that nonwovens and technology.

Has become a key area of development in India.

India's defense, safety, health, roads and other infrastructures also have huge opportunities for non-woven market.

However, the bottleneck of India's nonwoven industry lies in the lack of skilled labor, shortage of expert consultants, lack of capital and technology.

Nevertheless, India's non-woven market and industrial potential can not be ignored.

Asia Pacific will dominate world Nonwovens Market

Nevertheless, the growth rate of medical, health and other nonwoven products in India will increase by 20% during the 2016-17 period, and the output value will reach US $1 billion.

According to the Daguan report, the demand for polypropylene non-woven products in the world will reach 1 million 950 thousand tons in 2013, and will increase to 3 million 100 thousand tons in 2020. According to this, the global average annual growth rate is 6.9% from 2014-2020 years.

In 2013, global demand for non-woven goods was 8 million 680 thousand tons, and by 2020, it would reach 13 million 600 thousand tons, and its growth rate coincided with the overall growth rate of 6.9%.

In 2013, polypropylene products accounted for 40% of the world's market share in the Asia Pacific region.

The main reason is that the market in India and China is expanding.

That is why the world's major multinational companies have stepped up to enter the region.

EDANA believes that with the acceleration of globalization, sustainability and innovation, the focus of world economic integration will move eastward.

The markets in Europe, America and Japan will gradually shrink.

The world's middle and low income class will become the largest consumer group in the world. The demand for non-woven goods in agriculture and construction industry in the region will also blowout, and health and medical non-woven products will follow.

Therefore, the Asia Pacific region and the European, American and Japanese regions will form polarization. The global middle class will rise again, and all manufacturers will face the middle and high-end groups. Because of the trend of profits, the products of the middle class will be produced in a large scale.

And high-tech products will be popular in high-income countries, and will continue to sell well. Those products that are environmentally friendly and innovative will be touted.

The concept of sustainability has been put forward for more than ten years. The nonwoven industry has provided the world with the direction of sustainable development. It not only improves people's lives, but also protects the environment.

Without this, the sustained development of the Asia Pacific nonwoven industry may be stranded in the scarcity of resources and the deterioration of the environment.

For example, serious air pollution has appeared in many large cities in Asia.

If enterprises do not follow certain industrial environment rules, the result will be very bad.

The EDANA Association believes that the only way to solve this problem is to create innovative development technologies, such as the comprehensive application of biotechnology, nanotechnology, material technology and information technology.

If consumers and suppliers can form a joint effort, the enterprise will take innovation as the driving force and directly affect the non-woven industry. Through non-woven improvement of human health, control of pollution, reduction of consumption and maintenance of the environment, a truly new type of non-woven market will take shape.
