The Future of Fibre vs Polymer Nonwovens to 2027 In 2022, fibre-based nonwovens will consume 6.5 million tonnes or 139.4 billion m2, valued at $28.7 billion. In 2022, polymer-based nonwovens will consume 6.6 million tonnes or 232.0 billion m2, valued at $27.0 billion. This report examines how fibre-based and polymer-based nonwovens compete for market share. Download Brochure Table of Contents Key Facts and Figures In 2022, fibre-based nonwovens will consume 6.5 million tonnes or 139.4 billion m2, valued at $28.7 billion. In 2022, polymer-based nonwovens will consume 6.6 million tonnes or 232.0 billion m2, valued at $27.0 billion. Basis weight for fibre-based nonwovens are projected to increase in 2025–27, as fibrebased nonwovens begin to replace some polymer-based products. This report examines how fibre-based and polymer-based nonwovens compete for market share. With changing regulations around the use of plastic, the nonwoven industry is not exempt from changing expectations. While fibre-based nonwovens have enjoyed increased attention due to their potential to provide plastics free or reduced plastics products, the current installed production base as well as needed product development will prevent these products from making major market share inroads before 2027. Our exclusive content What will you discover? Fibre/polymer-composite-based nonwovens are the least discussed segment of the nonwovens industry. These include coform, a blend of spunlaid polypropylene with wood pulp fibres; several spunlace variants, like SP/SPS (hydroentangled spunbond/pulp), CSC (carded/spunbond/carded), and SPC (spunbond/carded/pulp); and a few others like Arvelle (spunlaid polypropylene and wood pulp) and Phantom (spunlaid/airlaid).
