In recent years, the growth rate of the world's non-woven demand has always been higher than the growth of the global economy. Global non-woven fabric production is mainly concentrated in the United States, accounting for 41% of the world's total, Western Europe accounts for 30%, Japan accounts for 8%, China is 3.5%, and other regions are 17.5%. In the end application of non-woven fabrics, health absorbent (especially diapers) products are growing fastest, and medical textiles, automotive textiles, footwear and artificial leather markets are also showing a new climate of rapid development.

In the coming period of time, China's non-woven fabric industry should focus on adjusting the variety structure, improving the grade, and changing to diversification, serialization, specialization and high performance. It is expected that in the next ten years, the demand for non-woven fabrics in various application industries will continue to increase, and fine-denning, functionalization, and industrialization will become the technical research and development direction of non-woven fabrics.

Non-woven fabric is a kind of nonwoven fabric, which is directly using polymer slices, short fibers or filaments to form a network through air flow or machinery, and then through spines, needling, or hot rolling reinforcement, and finally after finishing the non-woven fabric.

China's non-woven industry started late, but the development is very rapid. In the early 1980s, production was less than 10,000 tons. In the late 1990s, China set off a climax in the development of non-woven products. In addition to the use of domestic production lines, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces have also introduced production lines from abroad. The development speed of China's non-woven products greatly exceeds the average development speed of the textile industry, with a high-speed growth of 8-10% per year, is the fastest growing industry in the textile industry. Because China's non-woven industry has moved to the high-grade, many enterprises and products have strong competitiveness in the world. Through years of exploration and development, China's non-woven enterprises have walked out of their own characteristics of the road. In the coming period of time, China's non-woven fabric industry should focus on adjusting the variety structure, improving the grade, and changing to diversification, serialization, specialization and high performance. It is expected that in the next ten years, the demand for non-woven fabrics in various application industries will continue to increase, and fine differentiation, functionalization, and industrialization will become the technical research and development direction of non-woven fabrics.
