Global Air-Through Nonwovens Market Growth: Trends, Applications, and Innovations (2025-2030)
The global air-through nonwovens market is expected to show significant growth from 2025 to 2030, driven primarily by demand from multiple sectors and technological innovation. The following is an analysis of key trends:
Market Size and Growth
- The global market size is projected to increase from US$14.5 billion in 2025 to US$28 billion in 2030, achieving a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%. The Chinese market is particularly strong, with the market size for hot-bonded nonwovens projected to reach RMB 45 billion in 2025, a 12% annual growth rate, accounting for over 40% of global demand.
Core Application Areas
- Healthcare: This market accounts for 40% of the global market, with continued growth in demand for surgical gowns, masks, and protective clothing. China's healthcare sector accounts for over 35%, primarily driven by an aging population and rising health awareness.
- Automotive Interiors: Benefiting from the widespread adoption of new energy vehicles, demand for lightweight materials is surging. This sector is expected to account for 15% of the market share in 2025, with products such as sound insulation and seat covers emerging as growth drivers. 3. Environmentally Friendly Materials: The market share of biodegradable nonwovens is rapidly expanding, and traditional materials are expected to be gradually replaced over the next five years. Green building standards and environmental policies are accelerating this process.
Evolving Competitive Landscape
- International giants (such as DuPont and Teijin) still dominate the market, but local companies in the Asia-Pacific region are emerging significantly. Leading Chinese companies, Company A, Group B, and C Manufacturing, hold a combined 45% market share and are strengthening their competitiveness through technological upgrades (such as optimizing production processes) and overseas market expansion.
Technological Development Trends
- Green and Intelligent: Production processes are shifting toward low-energy consumption and low-emissions, with increased investment in biodegradable material R&D. The increasing penetration of intelligent production equipment will drive capacity utilization from 86.1% in 2024 to 87.8% in 2025.
- Functional Innovation: Demand for functional fabrics such as antibacterial and breathable fabrics is growing. The apparel and home textile market is expected to reach 3.8 billion yuan in 2024, an annual growth rate of 8%. Technological R&D will focus on developing differentiated products.
Regional Market Dynamics
- The Asia-Pacific region is the growth engine, with China's production capacity accounting for 36.7% of global output and projected to reach 580,000 tons in 2025. The European and North American markets are experiencing steady growth, primarily driven by demand for industrial filtration and high-end medical applications.
In summary, the industry needs to focus on technological advancement, environmental compliance, and the development of emerging application scenarios to seize growth opportunities over the next five years.
