Global spunbond nonwoven market was valued at USD 13.88 Billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 6.4%) between 2020 and 2027. Market growth is expected to be driven by rising birth rates and increased awareness about the benefits associated with baby diapers.
The demand for spunbond nonwovens in geotextiles will rise due to increased use. Geotextiles are being used by more transportation infrastructure builders and engineers as durable materials for roads, roads, railways, foundations and bridges. New applications for geotextiles include mining, oil drilling sites and shale gas. This creates additional opportunities.
China's market is expected to grow rapidly due to the rapid development in application industries. High production volumes for textile and pharmaceutical products are a major reason for the market's high product consumption. A strong textile industry is expected to be one of the key growth drivers in the market.
For the production and use of spunbond nylon nonwovens in different industries, there are several regulations. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved spunbond nonwovens in applications. FDA and European counsel also approved spunbond nonwovens for use in healthcare and medical applications.
Because of its cost-effectiveness and high performance, Spunbond is second in the production of sustainable nonwovens. Spunbond produces a higher yield at relatively lower costs. Many companies are switching to spunbond because of the inability to sustain wet-laid processes.
The market for spunbond nonwovens may be affected by fluctuations in raw material prices. For the production of spunbond, nonwovens, polymers are an important raw material. Polypropylene accounts for over 50% of all the raw materials. The oil price is the main driver of polymer prices. Any movement in oil prices can lead to volatility, which could affect polymer prices.
In 2019, polypropylene accounted for 58% of the market and contributed the largest market share. Polypropylene spunbond nonwovens are in high demand because of its increased use in diapers, sanitary napkins and adult incontinence products. This is due to the increasing birthrate, growing aging population and better awareness about menstrual hygiene.
Polyester is more expensive than polypropylene. However, it has many benefits over the latter. Polyester scrap cannot be recycled in spunbond manufacturing, despite its higher tensile strength, modulus and heat stability than polypropylene fabrics. Because of its soft texture and increasing strength, polyester is the most commonly used polymer in bi-component spunbond nonwovens.
In 2019, 524.1 kilotons of polyethylene-based spunbond nylon nonwovens will be produced. This is due to its outstanding physical properties that make it safe and practical for a variety of purposes. Because of its low melting point and soft feel, polyethylene is becoming an increasingly important raw material in spunbond nonwovens.
Polyamides (nylon-6,6 and nylon-6.6) are also used to make spunbond nonwoven. Nylon-6 and 6 nylon spunbond nonwovens require more energy and are more expensive than polyester and polypropylene. For the production of spunbond nonwovens, polyurethane and other types of rayons can also be used.
Disposable spunbond Nonwovens held the largest market share, accounting for over 65% of total revenue. They are expected to reach USD 16.3 Billion by 2027 due to their use in a variety of applications. These include personal hygiene products like diapers, sanitary napkins and medical products such surgical gowns and masks. Bandages, wipes and towels.
There are many uses for disposable spunbond nowoven. These are made for one-time use. However, in certain cases, such as dust clothes and reusable wipes it can be reused several times before being disposed. The disposable absorbent is composed of absorbent material and a degradable polymer made of aliphatic polyester.
From 2020 to 2027, a 5.7% revenue-based CAGR is expected for durable spunbond nonwovens. This can be attributed in part to their enhanced properties, such as lighter weight, greater tear resistance, and better breathable. They are used in a wide variety of applications including household and home furnishings, geotextiles and roofing products, insulation, and packaging materials.
Long-lasting engineered fabrics made from durable spunbond nonwovens can be trusted. These are also known as long-life spinbond nonwovens. Durable spunbond nonwovens can be washed or not. Semi-disposable nonwovens are also available in durable spunbond nonwovens. These nonwovens are often used in filtration applications and household products.
In 2019, personal care and hygiene accounted for the largest revenue share at over 55%. This market is expected to experience the highest CAGR due to the growing demand for feminine care products and baby diapers. Due to rising birth rates, increased awareness about menstrual hygiene and an aging population, the demand is growing.
Nonwovens made from spunbond are widely used in healthcare and medical applications. They provide good protection against biological agents. They have replaced many of the traditional materials used in healthcare and medical. Because of their excellent properties, such as being breathable, resistant to fluid penetration, sterilizable, and impermeable to bacteria, they are often used in healthcare and medical applications.
Due to their superior properties and cost-savings, spunbond nonwovens are expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of 7.0% in terms revenue over the forecast period. The market is growing because of the increasing use of geotextiles in infrastructure projects in emerging countries.
Other industries include filtration, automotive printing and packaging. Spunbond nonwovens can be used in many filtration applications, including pool and spa filtration as well as beverage filtration and air filtration. Due to growing consumer interest in clean drinking and clean air, spunbond nonwovens are replacing traditional technology.
North America accounted for the largest market share at 20% in 2019. It is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to a rise in demand for feminine care products and diapers. Industry growth is positive due to an increase in the use of adult continence products because of an aging population.
Hygiene products dominate the European product demand and this trend is expected to continue for the forecast period. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing aging population and the occurrence of chronic diseases.
Asia Pacific will see a 7.5% CAGR over the forecast period. This is due to high birth rates in China and India as well as high geriatric populations in Japan. The region will also see high demand for automotive interior materials.
Due to growing demand from the medical, hygiene and automotive industries, spunbond nonwovens will see significant growth in Central and South America over the forecast period. Market growth is expected to be positive due to increased consumer awareness about safety, hygiene, health, and sanitation.
