Non-Woven Fabrics Market Growth Factors Behind Sustained Expansion
The escalating demand for non-woven materials within the healthcare sector is anticipated to propel the expansion of the non-woven fabrics market in the future. Nonwoven refers to fibers held together by bonding or interlocking. The emergence of low-cost products for use in cost-conscious institutions has increased the utilization of nonwoven fabrics in medical applications, such as commonly employed disposable and reusable surgical gowns, drapes, gloves, and tool wraps. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (INDA), a US-based trade body for the nonwovens sector, North American nonwovens capacity climbed to 5.713 million tonnes in 2023, marking an increase of more than 230,000 tonnes compared with the year before. This marks an improvement over the prior year’s growth rate of 1.8%. Therefore, the increased demand for nonwoven in healthcare is expected to boost demand for nonwoven fabrics during the forecast period.
