1   Overview of the development of nonwovens in the world

At present, the development of non-woven fabrics in the world is very fast, and it has become an emerging industry. Many countries and regions have established non-woven fabric factories. The most developed are Asia, North America and Europe, and the world ’s three largest nonwovens industry associations have been established, namely the China Industrial Textile Industry Association, the American Nonwovens Association (INDA) and the European Nonwovens Industry Association (INDEX) But so far there is no unified association in the world.

2   Statistics of Nonwovens Production in Asia

The Asian nonwovens industry is mainly concentrated in China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. In recent years, other Asian countries have also begun to produce nonwoven fabrics. The statistics of China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are as follows:

Statistical Table of Nonwovens Production in Four Asian Regions, 2001-2007              (Unit: tons)

Proportion of Nonwovens Production in Four Asian Regions in 2007

It can be seen from the above statistics that China is the largest producer in Asia, accounting for 70.76% of the total output of nonwovens in the four Asian regions, 5 times that of Japan, 8 times that of South Korea and 10 times that of Taiwan.

            Production statistics of various nonwoven fabrics in four Asian regions in 2007         (Unit: tons)

As can be seen from the table above, all varieties produced in China, except for the wet method, account for more than 50% of the other varieties. Among them, the spun bond method is the most prominent, accounting for 79.52% of the output of the four regions, followed by the chemical bonding method accounting for 75.1% of the four places.

In 2007 , the output of China's spunbond meltblown nonwovens was 7.7 times that of Japan, 10.5 times that of South Korea, and 40 times that of Taiwan.

In 2007 , the output of China ’s chemically bonded nonwovens was 7 times that of Japan, 6.68 times that of South Korea, and 26 times that of Taiwan.

3   Overview of China's nonwovens industry development:

As early as 1958, the Chinese non-woven fabric industry began to use the carding method in Shanghai for some condition tests. A workshop-like production plant was established in Shanghai in 1965. In 1961, Beijing began to develop the spunbond non-woven fabric project, but due to the Cultural Revolution and the national industrial level at that time, the Chinese non-woven fabric industry could not develop at all.

The real development of China's nonwovens industry was after the reform and opening up in 1978. In the past thirty years, China's nonwovens industry has grown from an insignificant small country in the world to the world's most productive country. In 1980, the national non-woven fabric output was only 5,000 tons, and by 2008, China's output had exceeded 2 million tons, an increase of 400 times over 1980. The growth is shown in the following table:

Note: 1. Production in 1978 and 1982 are estimated values.

    2. After 1996 , after the establishment of the China Industrial Textile Industry Association, there are detailed statistics every year.
