Current situation and prospect analysis of non-woven fabric market 2022

As the raw material of baby diapers, adult incontinence, female hygiene products and other absorbent hygiene products, the supply and demand of non-woven fabrics are also growing. The non-woven fabric industry is a consumer goods industry with short production process, high degree of automation, good growth and high profitability. It is a green industry without boilers and with less "three wastes". It is also a high-tech industry whose products are mainly used for emerging industries.
Nonwovens are also known as non-woven fabrics, that is, fabrics that do not need to be woven or spun. It is not traditionally woven and knotted from yarn to yarn, but a fabric formed by directly bonding fibers together through physical methods. In terms of production process, non-woven fabric is a non-woven fabric formed by directly using polymer chips, short fibers or filaments to form fibers through air flow or mechanical mesh, and then reinforced by spunlace, needle punching or hot rolling, and finally finished.
At present, China's non-woven fabric market is highly competitive, and there are many market participants, among which Guangdong Bidefu, Dalian Ruiguang, Huahao Nonwovens, Tiandingfeng Holding, Zhejiang Jinsanfa, Hengtian Jiahua, Xingtai Nonwovens, Jinchun Shares, Huafeng Superfiber and other enterprises are among the best in China in terms of production capacity and scale.
According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs, from January to May 2022, the cumulative export amount of textiles was 62.85 billion US dollars, up 12.1% year on year, and the cumulative export amount of clothing was 62.21 billion US dollars, up 10.2% year on year. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the retail sales of clothing, shoes, hats, needles and textiles of enterprises above designated size from January to May 2022 were 509.34 billion yuan, down 8.1% year on year. From January to May 2022, the online retail sales of apparel goods decreased by 1.6% on a year-on-year basis.
Analysis according to the Zhongyan Puhua Research Report "Analysis Report on the Development Prospect and Investment Risk Forecast of China's Non woven Fabric Industry from 2022 to 2027"
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 industries and automobiles; At the same time, we will eliminate outdated and old equipment, produce world-class nonwoven products that are functional, differentiated and diversified, and advance to the depth of production. We will further process the products to form diversified products to meet the needs of the market.
From the perspective of manufacturing process, non-woven fabrics can be mainly divided into spunbonded non-woven fabrics, needle punched non-woven fabrics, spunlaced non-woven fabrics, chemical bonded non-woven fabrics, thermal bonded non-woven fabrics, etc.
From the perspective of non-woven fabric enterprises, the competition pattern of China's non-woven fabric industry is highly decentralized, most of the enterprises are relatively weak in technology, and they are struggling in low-end homogeneous competition. By the middle of October 2021, national non-woven fabric related enterprises are mainly distributed in Shandong, Guangdong, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places. From the perspective of enterprise regional concentration, CR3 is 43%, CR5 is 62%, and CR10 is 88%. The distribution of enterprises in the nonwoven industry is relatively centralized.
With the acceleration of globalization, sustainability and innovation, the focus of world economic integration will shift to the east. The markets in Europe, America and Japan will gradually shrink. The middle and low income class in the world will become the largest consumer group in the world. The demand for non-woven products in the agricultural and construction industries in this region will also explode, followed by non-woven products for health and medical use. Therefore, the Asia Pacific region and Europe, the United States and Japan will form a polarization. The global middle class will rise again. All manufacturers will target the middle and high-end groups. Due to the trend of profits, the products needed by the middle class will be produced on a large scale. However, high-tech products will become popular in high-income countries and continue to sell well, and those with environmental characteristics and innovative products will be popular.
The concept of sustainability has been put forward for more than ten years. The non-woven industry has provided the world with the direction of sustainable development. It not only improves people's lives, but also protects the environment. Without this, the Asia Pacific non-woven industry, which is developing at a sustained high speed, may be trapped in the shortage of resources and the deterioration of the environment. For example, serious air pollution has appeared in many big cities in Asia. If enterprises do not follow certain industrial environmental rules, the results will be very bad. The only way to solve this problem is to develop innovative and pioneering technologies, such as comprehensive application of biotechnology, nanotechnology, material technology and information technology. If consumers and suppliers can form a joint force, enterprises will take innovation as the driving force, directly affect the nonwoven industry, improve human health, control pollution, reduce consumption, and maintain the environment through nonwoven, then a real new nonwoven market will be formed.
During the "Fourteenth Five Year Plan" period, China's major provinces did not have special planning policies for the non-woven industry, focusing on the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry and textile and clothing industry, and developing toward high-end, intelligent and green.
