The global spunbond nonwoven market size was US$ 16.61 billion in 2021. The global spunbond nonwoven market size is forecast to reach US$ 37.28 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030.

A spunbond process involves forming a fabric out of a polymer such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, or polyethylene. Among the characteristics of the nonwoven are tensile strength, burst strength, thickness, weight, porosity, stability to heat and chemicals, and elongation to break. The nonwoven is manufactured by depositing extruded filament onto a conveyor belt and bonding the fiber to it. In addition to their use as carpet backing, these products are suitable for disposable medical, geotextile, and hygiene products.

Factors Influencing Market Growth

• Growing demand for spunbond nonwovens from the healthcare sector is driving the market. It is due to the benefits offered by spunbond nonwovens, such as high burst strength and enhanced resistance to heat & chemicals.
• With the increase in population comes a rise in the use of sanitary napkins and baby diapers, which, in turn, drives the global spunbond nonwovens market growth.
• The high cost of finished products and volatile raw material prices negatively impact the market's growth.
• An increase in R&D investments, the development of end-user industries, and the rise in demand for geotextiles are forecast to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19

COVID-19 is spreading across the globe at an accelerated pace, presenting many opportunities and challenges for the nonwoven industry. The construction, automotive, and packaging sectors suffered a severe setback, but there was significant demand from the healthcare, hygiene, and medical sectors. There was an exponential increase in the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) during the first half of 2020, with products such as face masks, gowns, and disinfecting wipes emerging as essential products to curb the spread of the virus. Thus, these factors have positively impacted the global market. 

Regional Insights

In 2021, North America held the largest revenue share and is forecast to grow at a significant CAGR. Diapers and feminine care products are part of the reason for this growth. The growing geriatric population has contributed to the growth of adult continence products.

Over the forecast period, Asia Pacific is forecast to experience the fastest CAGR. Due to high birth rates in China and India and a geriatric population in Japan. Furthermore, there is a high demand for manufacturing automotive interior materials in the region.
