Demand for nonwoven roll goods is projected to rise at a 3.7% annual rate to $6.3 billion in 2013. U.S. population, household and personal income growth will result in higher expenditures for wipes and other consumer disposables.The aging of the U.S. population, leading to sizable increases in the number of people 65 years and older, will boost demand for nonwovens used in medical/surgical gown and adult incontinence products (such as adult diaper ). On the other hand, the U.S. represents a mature market for a number of nonwoven goods, including disposable face masks, baby wipes and baby diapers, adult diaper, which will dampen overall sales gains through 2013, as will competition from other types of materials. These and other trends are presented in Nonwovens, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.
