LEATHERHEAD, UK, May 28, 2020-

Smithers’ latest study ‘The Future of Wetlaid Nonwovens to 2025’ forecasts the global consumption of nonwovens will grow at a rate of 6.0% (tonnes), 6.5% (m2), and 6.4% ($) from 2020-2025. The slightly slower growth rates reflect maturing markets for many wetlaid end uses, including both new and traditional applications. Additionally, the report considers global political and economic issues, including slowing growth in China and parts of Europe, the ongoing ‘trade war’ between the US and China, and sanctions against Russia, Syria, Iran, North Korea.

The report reviews the wetlaid nonwovens markets and processes, with the new inclusion of the important hydroentangled process variant. Other variants included are DRC (double recrepe) wetlaid, glass fibre-based wetlaid, all-synthetic fibre wetlaid and standard synthetic/pulp wetlaid.
