High Demand from Healthcare and Medical Sectors to Drive Nonwoven Materials and Products Market
The improvement in infection prevention standards is one of the key factors driving the Asia Pacific and the Middle East nonwoven materials and products market. The rising number of hospital, outpatient, and surgical procedures is another factor driving the market in these regions. The popularity of nonwoven products is increasing over the years in the healthcare and medical industry owing to the ability of these products to generate barriers through the additional coating on personal protective apparel. Nonwoven materials are used for making nonwoven garments such as patient and surgical gowns, face masks, surgical drapes, beddings, underpads, adult shields, and undergarments, thus driving the market. The increasing percentage of geriatric population is aiding the growth of the market. In addition to this, the growing desire to enhance the quality of life is also driving the nonwoven materials and products market.
“The robust growth of the geotextiles industry owing to the rapid infrastructural developments across Asia Pacific is creating a huge demand for nonwoven materials and products,” says a TMR analyst. On the other hand, nonwoven materials and products make use of raw materials that are toxic by nature and this can be harmful for users. Wearing toxic fibers and fabrics made from polyester, rayon, nylon, acrylic, and acetate can result in health hazards such as cancer and hormonal dysfunction, and may also create behavioral and immunity issues. This will act as a challenge for the market.
