US Non-Woven Fabric Market Analysis
The United States Non-Woven Fabric market is expected to register a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period. The COVID-19 pandemic did not affect the expansion of the non-woven fabric market, owing to its extensive use in healthcare applications during the pandemic. As governments provide economic packages for small and medium-sized businesses and other perks, consumers worldwide are now focusing on critical commodities and personal protective equipment.
- Over the short term, increasing applications in healthcare and rising demand for spunbound are likely to increase demand for the non-woven fabric market during the forecast period.
- But the fabric's low durability and strength are likely to slow down the growth of the studied market.
Nevertheless, product and research development activities and the proliferation of new technologies like root control bags are expected to propel the expansion of aid merchandise in the United States and are likely to act as an opportunity in the future for the studied market over the forecast period.
US Non-Woven Fabric Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the US Non-Woven Fabric Market according to our research experts:
The Healthcare Industry Promotes the Demand for Non-Woven Fabric
- The use of nonwoven materials in medical applications is growing as a result of the emergence of low-cost products for use in cost-conscious institutions. Products like surgical robes, drapes, gloves, and wraps for instruments, which can be used once and thrown away, are used a lot in hospitals.
- The United States government's initiatives to control hospital non-heritable infections are expected to promote the use of nonwoven medical merchandise, such as disposable patient robes, drapes, and linens, which help reduce the provision of raw materials.
- Nonwoven textiles contain more than 80% synthetic fibers per square meter.Many of these fibers, such as polyester and cotton, are abundant and inexpensive.
- The nonwoven fabric price per ton in August 2022 was USD 5.8K, remaining stable from the previous month. In general, import prices increased significantly. The highest rate of growth was observed in July 2022, with an increase of 852% over the previous month. In August 2022, the import price peaked.The average price varied greatly across the major supplying countries.
- According to the United States Census Bureau, the annual value of construction put in place was about USD 1.63 million in 2021, compared to USD 1.49 million in 2020.
- All of the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the healthcare segment, which will boost demand for non-wovens in the US during the forecast period.
Construction Industry also Holds a Significant Share of the Non-Woven Fabric Market
- Durable non-woven fabric materials are employed in the construction industry since the fabric must survive adverse environmental conditions. Non-woven fabric is used in various construction applications, including, roofing, carpets, carpet foundation materials, dew absorbent sheets, wall materials, soundproofing materials, vibration absorbers, plywood materials, and curing sheets.
- Materials used in civil engineering include drain materials, soil draw-out prevention materials, separating materials, water-shielding sheets, reinforcing materials, erosion prevention materials, concrete molding sheets, asphalt overlay materials, underground pipe repair materials, and anti-corrosive materials.
- In the construction industry, the main purpose of non-woven fabric is to reduce heat, water, sunlight, extreme weather, flame retardancy, surface protection, and air conditioning loss.
- These materials are also used in the underlayment of roofs and tiles, as house wraps, for drainage, and in other ways to keep heat and noise out.
- Non-woven fabrics are expected to see increased demand due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency during the projected period. The United States has one of the most important construction industries in the world. By the end of 2022, it is expected to bring in more than USD 135 billion.
- The US Census Bureau estimated the value of the commercial construction sector in 2021 to be USD 91.03 billion. Furthermore, public construction spending on commercial projects in the United States is expected to reach USD 3.54 billion in 2021. Private, and governmental construction spending in the United States reached USD 1,591.70 billion in 2021.
- According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the share of healthcare expenditure in overall GDP was 17.8 percent in 2021, compared to 18.8 percent in 2020.
Growing construction activity and the need for long-lasting nonwoven fabric materials used in the construction industry are likely to fuel the nonwoven fabric market's expansion in the United States.

US Non-Woven Fabric Market News
- September 2022: Toray Industries, Inc. developed a spunbond nonwoven fabric that is both persistently hydrophilic and soft on the skin. This fabric can be used to make disposable diapers, masks, feminine hygiene products, and other sanitary items. When the production technology is fully established, the company intends to begin full-scale production. Polypropylene, which is softer than polyester, is commonly used in spunbond nonwoven materials for sanitary applications.
- June 2022: Berry's first two nonwoven manufacturing locations in America received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS designation, in response to increased customer demand for more sustainable solutions in the United States. SCS Global Services has awarded the certificate to the company's operations in Mooresville, North Carolina, and Waynesboro, Virginia. Both plants produce spunbond, spunlace, and spunmelt nonwovens for usage in infant diapers, feminine care, adult incontinence, and wipes.
