Nonwoven Industry Policy and Environmental Analysis

Non-woven fabrics can be divided into spunbond, chemically bonded, thermally bonded, meltblown and other types, which have been applied in all aspects of people's lives. The following is a non-woven industry policy and environmental analysis.

Policies and environment of the non-woven industry

The analysis of the non-woven industry pointed out that China is the world's largest non-woven production and consumption country. In 2019, the annual output of various types of nonwovens in China reached 5.9322 million tons, an increase of 196.31% over 2009, with an average annual compound growth rate of 11.47%. China's non-woven production will maintain a high single-digit growth rate in the next five years. Driven by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the growth of non-woven fabrics will definitely exceed previous estimates. In addition to the medical demand brought about by the epidemic, the areas with relatively fast growth in non-woven fabric demand include sanitary napkins, baby diapers, adult incontinence products and Other cleaning wipes.

As of the first half of 2020, the production capacity of China's meltblown non-woven fabrics is 83,240 tons, and the actual output is 53,523 tons. The actual output of melt-blown non-woven fabrics accounts for only about 1% of the overall non-woven fabric market, and the production capacity is relatively high. limited. The non-woven industry policy and environment pointed out that there are fewer companies that can provide meltblown fabrics, which are more important for medical masks. The companies whose business scope involves meltblown fabrics are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu (23.53%) and Zhejiang (13.73%). and Henan (11.76%), accounting for 49.02% of the country.

From the perspective of consumption structure, the largest application field of Chinese non-woven fabrics is medical and health care, while 60%~70% of non-woven fabrics in the US market are used in medical and health care and daily necessities. In Japan , Non-woven fabrics consumed by industrial, medical and hygiene products accounted for 57.4% of the demand. Due to the high cost of use, the proportion of disposable protective non-woven products in China is far lower than that of developed countries, and the consumption of medical non-woven fabrics still has a lot of room for development.

From the perspective of industrial structure, China's industry is located at a relatively low-end position, and the structure is relatively scattered. China's non-woven industry started relatively late, relying on the introduction of technology and equipment from overseas, and relying on labor advantages to build competitiveness in the non-woven manufacturing end. At present, the domestic non-woven manufacturing pattern is still relatively scattered.

At present, with the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of residents' income, the demand for the non-woven industry has not been fully released. The non-woven industry policy and environment point out that, for example, the market for sanitary napkins and baby diapers is very broad, and the annual demand is hundreds of thousands of tons. Medical care is gradually developed, and China's population is seriously aging, and the use of non-woven fabrics in medical care is also showing a rapid growth trend. The market for hot-rolled cloth, SMS cloth and air-laid cloth, filter material, insulating cloth, geotextile and medical cloth is large and will become larger and larger in industry and engineering.

In addition, in the two fields of disposable hygienic absorbent materials and wipes, the trend of consumption upgrading is very obvious. With the development of the economy, people have higher and higher requirements for the functionality, comfort and convenience of sanitary care products, and non-woven fabrics with specific properties are more and more widely used in related fields, and the sales of disposable non-woven fabrics The growth rate of the total amount has also continued to be higher than the growth rate of the overall non-woven fabric. In the future, in terms of disposable absorbent materials and wiping supplies, the technical upgrade of non-woven fabrics (performance improvement, unit gram weight reduction, etc.) is still a major trend. The above is all the content of non-woven industry policy and environmental analysis.
