Market Drivers

• Boom in Medical & Hygiene Applications
  Non-woven fabrics are widely used in surgical gowns, masks, drapes, wound dressings, diapers, and sanitary napkins—particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on public health infrastructure. The shift toward single-use, sterile materials is pushing global production to record levels.
  
  

• Surge in Demand for Filtration Materials
  Non-wovens are critical for air and liquid filtration systems, including N95 respirators, HEPA filters, and industrial filtration membranes, owing to their excellent barrier properties and low-pressure drop.
  
  

• Sustainability & Light Weighting in Automotive
  Lightweight non-woven fabrics used in vehicle interiors improve fuel efficiency and are increasingly incorporated for insulation, cabin noise reduction, and trunk liners.
  
  

• Construction Sector Support
  Use in roofing membranes, geotextiles, insulation wraps, and dam linings is expanding rapidly—especially in emerging economies investing heavily in infrastructure.
