Development status of non-woven fabric manufacturing industry

The non-woven fabric has the characteristics of environmental protection, air permeability, light weight, moisture-proof, durability and many other modern significance, so it is widely used in disposable medical products, non-woven packaging bags and so on.

Nonwoven manufacturing technology was first applied in Europe and America, and spread to Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in 1980s. In China, it was initially used to make disposable masks, sterile shoe covers, work caps, etc., and its products are mainly exported overseas for the labor insurance market. It was not until the middle and late 1990s that the development of non-woven manufacturing industry reached a climax. Since then, after years of exploration and development, the non-woven industry has rapidly developed into medical, engineering and other fields. The overall operation of the industry is stable, and the growth rate of production and sales is steadily rising. Some Chinese non-woven enterprises and products have strong competitiveness in the world.

The future trend of nonwoven manufacturing industry

First of all, there is a large space for industry development. On the one hand, with the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of residents' income, the demand for non-woven fabric industry has not been fully released. For example, the market for sanitary napkins and baby diapers is very broad, and the annual demand is in the hundreds of thousands of tons, and will be growing. On the other hand, the per capita possession of non-woven fabrics in China is only 2.97 kg, while the per capita possession of textile fibers in China is 26.89 kg, which shows that there is still much room for development of non-woven fabrics.

Secondly, in the two fields of disposable health absorbing materials and wiping products, the consumption upgrading trend is very obvious. With the development of economy, people have higher and higher requirements for the functionality, comfort and convenience of health care products. Non-woven fabrics with specific properties are more and more widely used in related fields. In the future, in terms of disposable absorbing materials and wiping supplies, the technical upgrading of non-woven fabrics (performance improvement, unit weight reduction, etc.) is still a major trend.

Third, the transformation of non-woven industry is imperative. With the continuous emergence of new technologies, the functions of non-woven fabrics are constantly improved. The future development of non-woven fabrics comes from the continuous penetration into other fields such as new industry, automobile, etc.; at the same time, the backward and old equipment is eliminated to produce world-class non-woven products with functionalization, differentiation and diversification, and the products are further processed to form products Diversified to meet the needs of the market.

In a word, non-woven fabric has gradually become a new industry in the domestic market. Despite the rapid development of China's non-woven production, but the economy is still growing, people's demand is increasing, non-woven manufacturing enterprises should open up a broader market, develop and develop first-class equipment of technical equipment, produce more high-quality, high-grade products, so as to further develop the non-woven industry.
