Based on current market dynamics (data as of 2024), the global market for nonwoven fabrics for automotive trunk liners exhibits the following key trends:

The global market size will reach $4.8 billion in 2023, with a projected CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2030 (Grand View Research). The Asia-Pacific region will contribute over 45% of this growth, with an 8% annual increase in automobile production in China and India driving demand.

The share of polypropylene (PP) nonwovens will increase to 68% (MarketsandMarkets 2024 data), a 12% increase from 2020. Models like the Tesla Model Y utilize composite nonwovens, reducing the weight of liner components by 30%.

The EU mandates that new cars use 25% recycled content by 2025, stimulating demand for bio-based nonwovens (such as PLA). Industry leader Freudenberg has launched a 100% recyclable PET nonwoven padding solution.

Leading suppliers are developing three-in-one functional layers: a surface waterproofing treatment (contact angle >120°), a middle sound-absorbing layer (NRC 0.65), and a bottom antistatic layer (surface resistivity <10^9 Ω). These products command a 25-40% price premium over traditional products.

The proportion of localized production in the North American market will increase from 52% in 2020 to 68% in 2024, impacted by the USMCA rules of origin. Three new nonwoven fabric factories have been built in Mexico specifically to supply US automakers.

Strategic Recommendations: We recommend focusing on the development of high-weight products in the 800-1200 g/m² market segment, where profit margins are 8-12 percentage points higher than the industry average. We also recommend expanding production capacity in Southeast Asia to circumvent carbon tariffs in Europe and the United States (effective in 2026).
