The Future of Airlaid Nonwovens to 2027

This report will include the growth of airlaid nonwovens from 2017 through 2027 and a detailed quantitative breakdown of airlaid nonwoven consumption by specific process variant, by raw material usage, by end-use applications and by geographic region.

Table of Contents Key Facts and Figures
The global consumption of airlaid nonwovens in 2022 is 574,800 tonnes or 7.5 billion m2, valued at $2.0 billion. Growth rates for 2017–22 were 4.7% (tonnes), 3.8% (m2) and 8.0% ($). Growth rates for 2022–27 are forecast at 6.0% (tonnes), 5.3% (m2), and 7.7% ($). Airlaid supply/demand is projected to tighten to over 94% globally by 2027.

Our exclusive content
  • Key trends, including: the effects of new markets and process modifications; the tightening of airlaid supply globally; the effect of the sustainability and plastics-free movements; and the increased growth in both multi-bonded airlaid and thermal bonded airlaid process variants
  • Detailed company profiles of the largest players and key stakeholders in the airlaid nonwoven value chain
  • In-depth analysis of material, process and geographic markets.
What does the report cover?
It includes the growth of airlaid nonwovens from 2017 through 2027 and a detailed quantitative breakdown of airlaid nonwoven consumption by specific process variant, raw material usage, end-use application and region. New, non-traditional end uses are introduced and quantified. Each market segment is discussed. The supply and demand situation both historically and projected is studied and discussed. A value chain for airlaid nonwovens with estimated profit margins by segment will be disclosed. Finally, the largest global airlaid nonwoven producers are identified and assessed.

What will you discover?
  • Growth rates reflect the addition of some new, non-traditional markets, like packaging, insulation and moulded consumer products. Airlaid average price per tonne growth is projected to again lead the nonwovens industry through 2027
  • Airlaid has the highest demand/supply ration of any nonwovens process in 2022; other industries would have added capacity before supply became so limited. This conservative approach to expansion is projected to continue through 2027.
