Since Henan became the sixth largest nonwovens production area after Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian and Guangdong this year, the total output of nonwoven fabric has reached 441 thousand tons in 1-7 months, an increase of 31.28% over the same period last year, ranking the second largest in the world after the United States.

The increase in the consumption of nonwoven products has also increased the trend of equipment purchases supporting the development of the industry. According to the statistics of China Textile machinery and equipment industry association, the import volume of China's textile machinery products reached 54846063 dollars in June, and the import value increased by 149.89%, accounting for 2.29% of the total imports of the textile machinery.

Challenge

"Although China's nonwoven and industrial textiles are showing a general trend of development, they are also affected by factors such as raw material prices, labor prices, exchange rate changes and plastic restriction, as well as other industries. Raw material price volatility is still a major factor affecting the production of nonwoven enterprises."

"The market potential is huge, but for enterprises, innovation is not enough, product variety is still very single", product innovation needs the support of related equipment and production line.

"We are not technically breakthroughs. As the pioneer of slit spunbond production technology in China, the 3.2 meter SMS composite nonwovens production line, which was undertaken by the Hongkong Research Institute, was successfully developed, filling the gap in the domestic market and breaking the situation of imported SMS leading domestic equipment market," the responsible person said.

"Raw material price increases make profit space smaller, but not a decisive impact on the industry." insiders say that we still have a very large market potential. At present, the consumption of nonwoven products in China is about 1 kilograms per person per year, and the annual growth rate of the industry is basically maintained at around 7.5%. Especially at the beginning of the year, the circular issued by the general office of the State Council on limiting production, sales and use of plastic shopping bags also brings new dawn to the spunbonded nonwovens industry from the policy level.

China's economic growth rate is very significant. With the increase of domestic personal purchasing power, the consumption of nonwovens industry is bound to grow. The growth rate of China's nonwovens is likely to exceed that of the European Union. China is likely to become the world's largest nonwovens producer.
