MARKET OVERVIEW
Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic synthetic resin that has applications in packaging, transportation, chemical fibres, and nonwoven fabrics. It is also known for its versatility, durability, and affordability. Polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric is considered an ideal substitute for plastic materials due to its eco-friendly properties. Moreover, it is 100 percent recyclable, burns with zero poisonous outflows and is biodegradable. The various application of these lightweight fabrics in the hygiene industry includes manufacturing sanitary products for women, babies, and adults, which likely drives the market growth in the forecast period. Nonwoven polypropylene fabrics are cheaper than woven fabrics, providing moderate strength stability, resilience to abrasion, and moisture. The product has good air permeability and enables homogeneous distribution of fabrics to enhance the overall quality. Furthermore, the material can be easily molded in different sizes and shapes due to its material flexibility.
MARKET DYNAMICS
The polypropylene nonwoven fabrics market is anticipated to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Innovation in fiber formation, bonding techniques, and surface treatments have expanded the application areas for polypropylene non-woven fabrics. The growth is attributed to its increasing application in personal hygiene products, healthcare, agriculture, construction, and automotive. In addition, the polypropylene nonwoven fabrics market is fueled by factors including increasing demand for cost-saving and durable construction that drives the demand for nonwoven geotextiles, as it offers environmental benefits and save transportation costs. However, the polypropylene nonwoven fabric's high raw materials and production costs, fluctuating market demand, supply, and currency exchange rates, may hinder growth. Moreover, the polypropylene nonwoven fabrics market is accelerated by increasing awareness about the importance of feminine hygiene. Factors such as, growing population, rising healthcare awareness, and increasing disposable income are driving the demand for nonwoven fabrics-based hygiene products. The automotive industry also utilizes these fabrics for upholstery, interior trims, sound insulation and door panels. The increasing demand for cost-effective, eco-friendly and lightweight materials in automotive industry will propel the market growth.
