The normalization of global epidemic prevention has a profound impact on this industry. Below, I have sorted out the real situation, core driving forces, and future trends of the medical spunbond non-woven fabric market for you.
Real data on market growth
Although the overall market annual growth rate did not reach 25%, short-term production and demand for related products have surged due to specific factors such as the pandemic. According to the report data from QYResearch, the global production of spunbond medical non-woven fabric in 2024 is approximately 869 thousand tons. In addition, different research reports provide the following growth rate forecasts due to differences in statistical criteria, forecast periods, and segmented markets.
The core driving force of market development
The current market growth is mainly due to the following strong and sustained drivers:
Upgrade of infection control requirements: Globally, hospitals, clinics, and long-term care institutions continue to increase their demand for disposable medical protective products to strictly implement infection prevention regulations. Spunbond non-woven fabric has become the preferred material for medical protective clothing, surgical gowns, masks, and other products due to its high strength, good breathability, and cost-effectiveness.
Global health awareness: global health crises such as COVID-19 have significantly improved the public’s awareness of personal health and protection standards, and this awareness is long-term.
Technological iteration and material innovation: Manufacturers are driving the market through advances in materials science and process technology
SMS composite material: The spunbond meltblown spunbond (SMS) composite structure is the “star” of non-woven fabrics, which can balance strength, high filtration and waterproofing, and is widely used in high-performance medical protective equipment.
Functional finishing: By post-processing such as antibacterial and anti liquid coatings, non-woven fabrics are endowed with stronger protective functions.
Sustainable materials: The industry is actively exploring bio based polymers and recyclable spunbond materials in response to environmental requirements.
Regional pattern and future trends
Regional market pattern: The Asia Pacific region is currently the growth engine of the global market, with China and India being the main producers due to their large-scale production capacity, relatively low costs, and strong domestic and international market demand.
Future trend outlook:
Green and intelligent: Under the “dual carbon” goal, the research and application of bio based biodegradable materials will become a key trend. Meanwhile, technologies such as AIoT (Intelligent Internet of Things) will deeply penetrate into production, achieving flexible customization and efficiency improvement.
Application scenario expansion: The application of medical spunbond non-woven fabric is expanding from traditional protective clothing and masks to high-value medical products such as antibacterial dressings and biodegradable surgical sutures.
Summary
Overall, although the statement of “annual demand growth exceeding 25%” does not match the industry’s medium to long term forecast, the medical spunbond nonwoven fabric market is undoubtedly in a stable and dynamic growth cycle. The normalization of global epidemic prevention is one of the important driving forces, and the pace of technological innovation is much faster and more crucial than simply increasing the quantity.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
