According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Nonwoven Fabrics Market Report by Material Type (Polyester, Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Rayon, and Others), Technology (Spun Bond, Wet Laid, Dry Laid, and Others), Application (Personal Care and Hygiene, Filtration, Healthcare, Automotive, Building and Construction, and Others), and Region 2025-2033," the global nonwoven fabrics market reached a value of USD 47.7 Billion in 2024. Nonwoven fabrics refer to flexible, porous and cohesive textile materials that are fabricated through a series of production steps. These steps generally consist of fibrous web formation and bonding or entangling of fibers in the web form for converting them as per the customer requirements. They usually consist of one or more layers of patterned fabrics that are placed together by entangling filaments using thermal, mechanical and chemical processes. In comparison to knitted or woven fabrics, these materials are widely available in multiple variations that differ on the basis of their stiffness and thickness while being relatively cost-effective. The demand for nonwoven fabrics is increasing due to their excellent absorbency, flame retardancy and filtering properties.
Global Nonwoven Fabrics Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the augmenting product demand from the healthcare industry. This is supported by the rising utilization of nonwoven fabrics in the manufacturing of medical gowns and drapes generally worn by surgeons in order to prevent infections, which is creating a positive market outlook. In line with this, the growing demand for face masks on account of the rapid outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has propelled the market growth. The absorbent core offered by nonwoven fabrics is highly suitable for the production of diapers, sanitary napkins and incontinence products that aid in slowing down the leakage process while increasing the absorption rate, which is further favorably impacting the product uptake. Moreover, the widespread product adoption for geotextile applications due to the rising infrastructural development projects, such as railways, highways and roadways, across numerous countries is significantly supporting the product demand. Additionally, continuous technological advancements and the escalating adoption of airlaid technology in the manufacturing of nonwoven fabrics, are acting as major growth-inducing factors. Other factors, including continual improvements in the textile industry, rapid industrialization and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by key players, are also influencing the market. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 75.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during 2025-2033.
