The demand for products such as feminine hygiene pads, diapers, and toddler training products is growing rapidly, which can be attributed to the increasing awareness regarding personal care and hygiene and rising disposable income of people. In addition to this, the increasing geriatric population in countries including Italy, Germany, and Japan, is also leading to a rising need for adult incontinence products. These products are made up of spunbond nonwoven fabrics, which is why their rising demand is leading to the increasing requirement for spunbond nonwoven fabrics. These fabrics are made of continuous filaments that are produced by an integrated web formation, fiber spinning, and bonding process.

This process eliminates intermediate steps and is the shortest textile route for getting from polymer to fabrics in one step, which helps in rising production and reducing cost. The spunbond nonwoven technology was first developed in the U.S. and Europe, simultaneously, in the late 1950s. These fabrics have excellent properties and high process efficiencies, thereby making them suitable for applications in different industries. Owing to these factors, the global spunbond nonwovens market is predicted to generate revenue of $17,651.9 million in 2023, increasing from $11,040.1 million in 2017, progressing at an 8.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2018–2023).


The different material types that are used for making spunbond nonwoven fabrics are polyurethane, rayon, polypropylene, polyamide, polyethylene, and polyester. Out of these, the demand for polypropylene was the highest in the past, which can be ascribed to the lower price, high chemical resistance, and superior strength of these materials. Drapes, baby, adult, and female diapers, wipes, surgical disposables, and bags are some of the products that are made using polypropylene. These fabrics can be disposable or non-disposable, between which the demand for disposable spunbond nonwovens was higher in the past, as they are used for different applications.


Packaging, hygiene & personal care, automotive, medical, building & construction, and agriculture are different application areas of spunbond nonwovens. Some other application areas are apparel, filtration, and bedding & furniture. Owing to the rising awareness regarding personal hygiene in emerging countries, such as Indonesia, China, Brazil, and India, the demand for spunbond nonwoven fabrics was the highest for applications in hygiene and personal care industry. The demand for these fabrics is also projected to increase for applications in the medical industry in the near future due to the growing healthcare expenditure.


The Asia-Pacific region emerged as the largest spunbond nonwovens market in the past. This is ascribed to the fact that India, China, and Japan are among some of the most populated countries and thus create high requirement for the fabric to manufacture personal hygiene products. In addition to this, the demand for spunbond nonwovens in the region is also projected to increase because of the swift industrialization in different industries.


In conclusion, the requirement for spunbond nonwovens is expected to rise, owing to the surging demand for personal care and hygiene products particularly in developing countries.
