• Expected to witness solid expansion in the forthcoming years, the spunbond nonwovens market's size is projected to escalate to an estimated "$22.44 billion by 2029, developing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.
The anticipated growth within the forecast period can be credited to the introduction of cutting-edge product evolutions, escalating demand for featherweight materials, surfacing market potentials, focus on a circular economy paradigm, and strategic collaborations and alliances. Key upcoming trends include the surge in demand for sustainable materials, improvements in production technology, increased applications in the hygiene and medical fields, expanding geographical markets, as well as customization and product diversification.
The upward movement in automobile manufacturing is propelling the advancement of the spunbond nonwovens market. Cars, which are self-powered vehicles designed for road travel, extensively employ spunbond nonwovens in elements like carpets and for heat and sound insulation. This is owing to the high tensile strength, excellent resistance, and evenly distributed fibers these nonwovens offer. Consequently, heightened car production escalates the need for spunbond nonwovens. As an example, data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based governmental agency, showed that in December 2023, the combined manufacturing shares of electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCVs) had risen from 4% in 2021 to 7% in 2022, and it's predicted to increase to 12% by 2023. Thus, the escalating production of automobiles is energizing the spunbond nonwovens market.
