Do you understand the production and consumption of non-woven fabrics?

The global consumption of non-woven fabrics was 800,000 tons in 1983, and increased to 1.1 million tons in 1985, 1.4 million tons in 1988, and 2.4 million tons in 1998. In 2005, its consumption could reach 3.7 million tons.

The consumption of man-made fibers used in various textiles was 16.9 million tons in 1983, increased to 20.4 million tons in 1988, and reached 30.4 million tons in 1998. It is estimated that by 2005, its consumption will be 37 million tons. It can reach 38.3 million tons per year.

The consumption growth rate of man-made fibers in non-woven production is expected to reach 10% in 2005 and 10.4% in 2007. Part of the reason for such rapid growth in consumption in the nonwovens industry is the increase in ancillary industries in China, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
