Jul 08, 2021
The global consumption of non-woven fabrics was 800,000 tons in 1983, and increased to 1.1 million tons in 1985, 1.4 million tons in 1988, and by 1998, global non-woven fabric consumption reached 2.4 million tons. In 2005, its consumption could reach 3.7 million tons.
The consumption of man-made fibers used in various textiles was 16.9 million tons in 1983, increased to 20.4 million tons in 1988, and reached 30.4 million tons in 1998. It is estimated that by 2005, its consumption will be 37 million tons. It can reach 38.3 million tons per year.
The consumption growth rate of man-made fibers in the production of non-woven fabrics is expected to reach 10% in 2005 and 10.4% in 2007. Part of the reason why the consumption of the non-woven fabric industry has grown so fast is the increase in auxiliary industries in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
