Industry Data: Global Demand For Filter Nonwovens Is Expected To Grow By 2.7% Per Year

In recent years, nonwovens for filtration have been widely used in the fields of industrial filtration, protection and medical treatment. According to the latest forecast released by the International Industrial Research Institute Freedonia group, the demand for nonwovens in the application field of filter materials will increase by 2.7% annually before 2024.

The growth is mainly driven by four factors. The first is the continuous development of advanced nanofiber technology, which makes nonwovens more competitive than membrane and other alternative materials; the second is that the manufacturing industry is using more and more nonwovens in gas and liquid filtration devices; the third is that governments of various countries increase the continuous supervision of air and water quality, requiring the filtration of flowing air and wastewater in manufacturing applications Fourth, consumers pay more attention to the quality of indoor air and drinking water, increasing their new expenditure on filtration products.

In terms of regions, due to the highly industrialized economy and long-term attention to environmental protection in developed countries and regions such as North America and Europe, they will continue to maintain the leading position in the most important market of filtration nonwovens, and focus on technology upgrading and developing more efficient filtering materials. However, due to the high degree of market saturation, the growth rate of developed countries and regions will slow down.

Compared with North America and other economically developed regions, the rapid growth of industry and economy in Asia Pacific region and the increasing environmental problems are making it the main position of global environmental protection filtration industry in the next few years. Among them, the main driving force of growth comes from China, India and other countries.

China is the most important filter material market in the Asia Pacific region, with a huge manufacturing base. In the past few years, China's nonwoven filtration industry has made great progress, and the product quality has also been greatly improved. The driving force of downstream domestic demand market provides the main driving force for the continuous growth of China's filter material market. For example, the government's supervision on automobile carbon emissions is increasing, and the after-sales maintenance market is also growing, which makes the market scale of nonwoven filter media in the field of transportation further expanded. The continuous industrialization of the Indian government has also promoted the development of filter materials. Thanks to the strong development momentum of automobile industry, the market scale of Nonwovens for filtration in the field of transportation in India is expected to double. In addition, developing countries in the Middle East and Africa, such as Saudi Arabia, are mainly driven by oil processing to increase the demand for filter nonwovens, while South Africa is experiencing a rapid growth due to the improvement of industrialization and the growth of terminal market demand.
