The Market Reports

Synopsis

The global market for Meltblown Nonwoven Fabric was estimated to be worth US$ 1404 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1756 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.

Meltblown nonwoven fabric is a high-performance material made from polypropylene, consisting of ultra-fine fibers with diameters ranging from 1 to 5 microns. Its highly porous structure, fluffy texture, and excellent flexibility result from a unique capillary effect, which enhances its filtration, shielding, thermal insulation, and oil absorption properties. These characteristics make meltblown nonwoven fabric essential for applications such as air and liquid filtration, isolation materials, absorbent products, face masks, thermal insulation materials, oil-absorbing products, and cleaning wipes. Its superior ability to capture fine particles and droplets ensures its critical role in personal protective equipment (PPE) and industrial filtration solutions.

Meltblown nonwoven fabric has witnessed significant market growth, primarily driven by rising demand in healthcare, hygiene, and environmental protection industries. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp increase in demand, as the fabric became a key component in face masks and medical protective equipment. Although demand has stabilized post-pandemic, long-term growth remains strong, supported by continuous advancements in filtration technology and expanding industrial applications.

Additionally, stricter global regulations on air and water filtration further drive market expansion. However, challenges such as raw material price volatility, environmental concerns related to synthetic fibers, and supply chain disruptions may impact future growth.

Asia-Pacific dominates the global meltblown nonwoven fabric market, accounting for approximately 60% of total sales, driven by large-scale manufacturing, cost-effective production, and strong demand from various industries, including healthcare, automotive, and filtration. North America and Europe follow with market shares of about 20% and 16%, respectively, supported by advanced healthcare systems and stringent environmental standards. Leading players in this market include Berry Global, Mogul, Kimberly-Clark, Monadnock Non-Woven, Ahlstrom-Munksjö, and Sinopec, with the top three companies collectively holding around 12% of the market. Future market developments are expected to focus on sustainable and biodegradable nonwoven materials, shaping the next phase of industry growth.
