Factors affecting the growth rate of non-woven fabrics

All the factors that affect the growth of man-made fibers can more or less have a certain impact on textiles using man-made fibers as raw materials, of which non-woven textiles have the greatest impact. The population growth factor has a smaller impact on non-woven fabrics than other textiles used in apparel. But if considering 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: the establishment of international economic treaties has enabled the trade of microfibers, composite fibers, biodegradable fibers and new polyester fibers to grow. This has a great impact on non-woven fabrics, but has little impact on apparel and knitted textiles. Replacement of textiles and other supplies: This includes the replacement of non-woven textiles, knitted textiles, plastic films, polyurea foam, wood pulp, leather, etc. This is determined by the cost and performance requirements of the product. Introduce new, more economical and more effective production processes: that is, the application of new types of competitive non-woven fabrics made of polymers, the introduction of special fibers and non-woven textile additives.

The three major fibers used in the production of non-woven fabrics are polypropylene fiber (62% of the total), polyester fiber (24% of the total) and viscose fiber (8% of the total). From 1970 to 1985, viscose fiber was used the most 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 fiber and polyester fiber began to dominate. In the early non-woven fabric 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 various constructions in China, such as the Three Gorges Project, Xiaolangdi Project, environmental protection projects, western development, infrastructure construction, etc., which will greatly promote the development of geotextiles, filter materials, waterproof materials, and packaging materials. Consumption. In addition, the increase in domestic consumer income will also force the consumption of various hygienic absorbent products and air filtration materials, medical and sanitary products, and labor insurance, sports and sports products. Therefore, China's non-woven fabric industry still has great growth potential in the future.
