Increased consumption of hygiene products is the key factor driving market growth. Most of the nonwoven fabrics produced in the US are consumed in hygiene end-user applications. This application segment has products for babies, adults, and feminine hygiene. The demand for such products has increased in the past few years and is expected to grow further in the next five years. In addition, the rise in living standards and the growth in public health awareness are cementing the need and demand for hygiene products.
Moreover, among all types of nonwoven fabrics, hygiene products mainly use fabrics that are derived from PP due to their specific functionalities, such as low weight, low specific gravity, and resistance to bacteria. Since the market for hygiene products is growing, the consumption of nonwoven fabrics is also increasing. Thus, the increased consumption of hygiene products will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The emergence of textile recycling is the primary trend shaping market growth. Textile recycling is an increasingly widespread approach to the burgeoning problem of textile waste in the US as the demand for environment-friendly and sustainable materials increases. It is expected that this trend will increase the demand for recycled materials, including recycled spunbond nonwoven fabrics, in the next five years.
Additionally, the market for spunbond nonwoven fabrics is expected to be driven by innovation owing to the growing demand for recycled materials. Manufacturers are creating new processes to use recycled spunbond nonwoven materials and create new ones that have better performance characteristics and properties. Hence, the emergence of textile recycling will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Competition from woven fabrics in the healthcare industry is a challenge that affects market growth. Densely woven fabric is made from cotton or synthetic microfilament yarns with a very compact weave structure. Woven textiles are generally more durable, and the process of weaving them is based on thread density, crimp, and yarn count. Some of the major characteristics of woven medical textiles include dimensional stability, flexibility, low elongation, controlled porosity, high tensile strength in both longitudinal and crosswise directions, high burst strength, and high suture retention strength
Furthermore, in the healthcare industry, woven fabric is usually used in products that require extreme stability and high durability. Moreover, woven medical fabrics are generally used in healthcare and hygiene applications for manufacturing surgical clothing and covers. The rising demand for healthcare and hygiene products for medical applications is anticipated to raise the demand for woven medical textiles, which may impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the hygiene segment will be significant during the forecast period. The hygiene segment contains the use of nonwoven fabrics in products like baby diapers, sanitary napkins, products for adult incontinence, dry and wet napkins, cosmetics wipes, breath-aiding nose strips, and adhesives for dental prostheses. Nonwoven fabrics are employed in the making of these disposable products without people being affected by bacteria in their surroundings.
