In 2018, China's nonwovens industry overcame the adverse effects of rising prices of chemical fiber raw materials, continued to maintain rapid development and improved economic benefits. From January to July, the output of nonwovens of Enterprises above the industry scale increased by 9.17% year-on-year, and the main business income and total profit increased by 9.58% and 2.34% respectively. At the same time, the industry has carried out a large number of technological innovations in the aspects of fiber environmental protection, intelligent equipment, composite process and green production process, and the pilot demonstration work of intelligent manufacturing has been steadily promoted.
Zhang chuanxiong, Secretary General of China Industrial Textiles Association, said that China is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of nonwovens. Although the international environment is complex and changeable, the domestic market share of Nonwovens in China has remained at about 85%, which has been the leading force supporting the healthy development of nonwovens industry. Among them, filter, geotechnical, construction, packaging materials, etc., maintain a growth rate of 6% - 7%.
