Global Nonwovens
Global demand for nonwovens is forecast to increase 3.2% per year to 14.1 million metric tons in 2027. In value terms, demand will rise 3.5% per year to $63.2 billion. Growth will be driven by increasing manufacturing activity worldwide, with improving standards of living in lower-income countries boosting demand for nonwovens in consumer products. However, a slowdown in pricing growth will temper value increases in comparison to the high-inflation 2017-2022 period.
