Development of Non-woven Textile Industry in 1.
As of 1998, the world's non-woven consumption has reached 2.4 million tons. In 1970, its consumption was only 400000 tons, and by 2007, its consumption is expected to reach 4 million tons. Non-woven fabric manufacturers are mainly concentrated in the United States (41% of the world), Western Europe accounted for 30%, Japan accounted for 8%, China's production accounted for only 3.5 percent of the world, its consumption is 17.5 percent of the world, in 2018, China's non-woven production of 5.9322 million tons, accounting for 37.91 percent of the global total, the global production capacity is high.
Man-made fibers still dominate the production of non-woven fabrics, and this situation will not change much until 2007. Worldwide, 63 per cent of the fibers used in non-woven fabrics are polypropylene, 23 per cent are polyester, 8 per cent are viscose, 2 per cent are acrylic fibers, 1.5 per cent are polyamide and the remaining 3 per cent are other fibers.
The application of non-woven fabrics in sanitary absorption materials, medicine, transportation, and shoe-making textile materials has increased significantly.
Non-woven production and consumption in 2.
The global consumption of non-woven fabrics was 800000 tons in 1983, but increased to 1.1 million tons in 1985 and 1.4 million tons in 1988. By 1998, the global consumption of non-woven fabrics reached 2.4 million tons, and it is estimated that by 2005, its consumption can reach 3.7 million tons.
The consumption of man-made fibers for various textiles was 16.9 million tons in 1983, increased to 20.4 million tons in 1988, reached 30.4 million tons in 1998, and is expected to reach 37 million tons in 2005 and 38.3 million tons in 2007.
The consumption growth rate of man-made fibers in non-woven fabric production is expected to reach 10% by 2005 and 10.4 by 2007. Part of the reason for the rapid growth of non-woven industry consumption is the increase of auxiliary industries in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
Factors affecting the growth rate of 3. non-woven fabrics
All factors affecting the growth of man-made fibers can more or less have a certain impact on textiles made of man-made fibers, among which non-woven textiles have a great impact. The impact of population growth on non-woven fabrics is smaller than that of other textiles used in clothing. However, if you consider the important application of non-woven fabrics in baby diapers, population growth is also an important factor. The partial replacement of natural fibers has a greater impact on textiles, but has little effect on non-woven fabrics, because the production of non-woven fabrics basically depends on man-made fibers.
The commercial development of man-made fibers and the professional application of non-woven fabrics: due to the establishment of international economic treaties, the trade of microfibers, composite fibers, biodegradable fibers and new polyester fibers has increased. This has a great influence on non-woven fabrics, but it has little effect on apparel and knitted textiles. Substitution of textiles and other supplies: This includes substitution by non-woven textiles, knitted textiles, plastic films, polyurea foams, wood pulp, leather, etc. This is determined by the cost and performance requirements of the product. The introduction of new, more economical and effective production processes: the introduction of various articles made from polymers, the application of competitive new non-woven fabrics and the introduction of special fibers and non-woven textile additives.
The three major fibers used in the production of non-woven fabrics are polypropylene fibers (62% of the total), polyester fibers (24% of the total) and viscose fibers (8% of the total). From 1970 to 1985, viscose fiber was widely used in the production of non-woven fabrics. Between 2000 and 2005 in the field of sanitary absorbent materials and medical textiles, the application of polypropylene fibers and polyester fibers began to dominate. In the early non-woven production market, the amount of nylon was very large. Since 1998, the amount of acrylic fiber began to rise, especially in the field of artificial leather manufacturing.
There are many large-scale projects in China's various constructions, such as the Three Gorges Project, the Xiaolangdi Project, environmental protection projects, the development of the western region, infrastructure construction, etc., which will greatly promote the consumption of geotextiles, filtering materials, waterproof materials, and packaging materials. In addition, the increase in domestic consumer income will also strongly stimulate the consumption of various sanitary absorbent products and air filtration materials, medical and sanitary products and labor insurance stationery. Therefore, China's non-woven industry has great growth potential in the future.
