About Non-woven fabrics are flat,
porous sheets or web structures made from staple
fiber (short) and continuous fiber (long), bonded
together into cohesive fabrics by using
mechanical, thermal, solvent treatment or
chemical force. Contrary to the traditional
materials, like cotton, linen, wool, and silk
production of Non-Woven fabric does not require
special weaving or knitting. Non-woven fabrics
are used in a number of industries. In the
healthcare industry, non-woven fabrics are used
for making isolation gowns, surgical scrubs, and
in packaging applications. In the carpeting
industry, they are used for carpet backing and in
the fashion industry these are used for making
insulation and protection clothing, industrial
workwear, chemical defense suits, shoes parts,
etc. Different type of Non-woven Fabrics are
available based on the method in which fibers are
bonded together. Various production methods
include mechanical bonding (fiber entanglement),

chemical bonding (fibers are chemically bound
using glue-like compounds), or thermal bonding
(where heat is used to melt the fibers together).
 Spun melt is a generic term used to describe the
Non-woven webs manufactured directly from
thermoplastic polymers. The product under
consideration i.e., Polypropylene (PP) grade
Non-Woven Fabric uses PP granules as the raw
material which are extruded into filaments
through spinnerets which are then attenuated
through pair of hot cylinders acting as a bonding
agent.  Market Overview Asia   The Asian
Non-Woven fabric market remained strongly
supported by raised sentiments due to active
restocking by the producers of protective
clothing, masks and other preventative products.
Prices in Southeast Asia surged during the
quarter, following the trend of the feedstock
Polypropylene (PP) which rose to an eight-month
high during the October month. Availability of
feedstock remained a key concern as several plant
outages were heard in Japan and China during
September and October. Chinese players which
control the majority of supply directed to the
US, stated that due to skyrocketing domestic
demand, the export volumes remained tight with
many suppliers facing trouble in securing
sufficient volumes. Several economies (like
India) reported Q-o-Q gains in the export volumes
of certain non-woven used in masks and coveralls
as their production levels rose in their efforts
to ramp up outbound shipments.

• North America
•  
• The American Non-Woven Fabric market witnessed
  strong Q-o-Q growth due to tight product
  availability from several Asian economies
  especially China. The regional buying interest
  remained upbeat due to strong demand for
  disinfectant wipes, face masks, disposable gowns
  and other personal protective equipment (PPE)
  amid surging COVID-19 cases. Upstream PP supply
  tightness and ease in lockdown restrictions kept
  the pricing range well above expectations. The
  hurricane-related plant disruptions heard in Q3
  were resolved by Q4 along with the news of
  start-up of Braskems new plant which
  considerably eased the PP supply shortage. The
  demand for Non-Woven Fabric increased by 30-40
  in the US since the start of the pandemic, a
  regional trader remarked.
• Europe
•  
• Moving into the fourth quarter, the price of
  Non-Woven Fabric in the European market continued
  to feel the impact of supply shortage and by the
  end of the year prices had touched fresh hikes
  due to global surge in feedstock PP prices and
  rising container freight shortage. In October, EU
  remained the largest Non-Woven export market,
  registering an increase of about 18.9 over
  October 2019. Moreover, several German buyers
  were heard closing their January orders in
  advance looking at the exponential surge in
  COVID-19 cases. Regional producers continued to
  face the heat of surging feedstock PP triggering
  a spike in non-woven and fiber grades, which
  seemed to continue in the near-term.
