不織布の世界市場：2029年までの将来見通し

2024年、世界の不織布の消費量は1,520万トン、金額にして628億米ドルとなるとみられています。また2029年には、2,130万トンに達すると予測されています。使い捨て最終用途の衛生用品（おむつ／オムツ、幼児用トレーニングパンツ、大人用失禁ウェア）とおしりふきは、2024年と2029年に消費量ベースで最大のセクターとなります。

不織布は、世界の供給過剰（より低コストで入手可能）と、不況に強い市場（例えばベビー用紙おむつ）または不況に強い市場（例えば、政府が経済成長を刺激するために使用するインフラプロジェクト用のジオテキスタイル／土木技師用不織布）から恩恵を受けると予測されています。

今後の不織布需要の拡大は、アジアを中心とする新興市場が牽引する一方、持続的な需要と技術革新が新興国市場を刺激します。2029年までの予測では、金額ベースでは耐久性不織布の方が使い捨て不織布よりも成長が速くなっています。

当レポートでは、世界の不織布市場について調査し、市場の概要とともに、サプライチェーン、市場の現況と将来の予測、2028年までの、素材タイプ別、最終用途別、地域別動向などを提供しています。

Features

• In 2024, the global consumption of nonwovens will be 15.2 million tonnes, valued at $62.8 billion

• In 2029, consumption of nonwovens globally is forecast to reach 21.3 million tonnes

• Disposable end uses hygiene products (nappies/diapers, toddler training pants, adult incontinence wear) and wipes are the largest sectors in 2024 and 2029, in terms of volume consumption.

This report looks at the impact of key trends, including the nonwovens response to potential 'tax' on single use plastics, the overall sustainability movement, the global oversupply situation and global economic issues.

Nonwovens are projected to benefit from the oversupply of nonwovens globally (offering lower cost and availability) and markets which are either recession resistant (for example, baby diapers) or recession enhanced (for example, geotextiles/ civil engineer nonwovens for infrastructure projects used by governments to stimulate economic growth).

Our exclusive content

• The forecast growth rates of the global nonwoven market between 2024 and 2029

• This report examines both durable and disposable nonwovens. Disposable nonwovens are usually single-use products, such as diapers, feminine hygiene products and most wipes. Durable nonwovens usually have extended use or can be used multiple times, such as filters, automotive carpet, mattress fabrics, road underlay and weed control fabric

• Durable nonwovens will retain the larger share of the market from 2024 to 2029, at nearly 60%.

What will you discover?

• Future expansion in nonwoven demand will be driven by emergent markets, mainly in Asia, while sustained demand and technical innovations will stimulate developing markets

• In value terms, projections to 2029 show faster growth for durable nonwovens than for disposable nonwovens

• Both disposable and durable nonwovens continue to grow faster in square meters than for tonnes, as the trend toward lower basis weights (and more square meters per tonne) continues.
