First, nonwoven fabrics manufacturers industry in recent years have made a lot of development  
As of 1998, the world of  non woven SMS fabricconsumption has reached 240 million tons. In 1970, the consumption of only 40 000 tonnes, while in 2007, its consumption is expected to reach 400 million tons. non woven SMS fabric producers are mainly concentrated in the United States (accounted for 41% of the world), Western Europe accounted for 30%, Japan 8%, China productivity 4000th 3.5%, its consumption is 17.5% of the world. It is expected that in 2007, China's production will reach 7% of world production, consumption will grow to around 21%. Currently, rayon, still dominates the production of non-woven fabric, and in 2007, this situation without a major change. Worldwide for the production of woven fiber 63% to 23% polypropylene, polyester, viscose, 8% to 2% of acrylic fiber, 1.5% polyamide, 3% for the remaining other fibers. In recent years, non-woven absorber in health, medical, communications tools, shoes with textile material application of significant growth.

Second, nonwoven shopping bags,disposable face masks and surgical gown production and consumption of global non-woven fabric consumption in 1983 when the 80 million tonnes, while the growth in 1985 to 110 tonnes in 1988 to 140 million tons in 1998, the global disposable face masks consumption reached 240 million tons, it is expected that in 2005, its consumption up to 370 000 tonnes. For a variety of textile fibres consumption in 1983 when 1690 million tons, 1988 to 2040 000 tonnes in 1998 reached 3040 million tons, it is expected that in 2005, its consumption to 37 million tonnes in 2007 to reach 3830 million tons. Rayon in non-woven fabric production consumption growth is expected in 2005, its consumption growth rates can reach up to 10% in 2007 to reach 10.4%. Result in surgical gown industry consumption grew so fast that part of the reason for China, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East region-aided industrial increase.

Third, the effects of the growth of adult diaper and car cover
All factors affecting the growth of man-madeadult diaper and car cover can be more or less on a man-made fibres as the raw material of the impact of textiles, including on non-woven textiles. Population growth factors to influence than other non-woven fabrics for textile accessories. But if you take into account the adult diaper in baby diaper in critical applications, population growth is also an important factor. Natural fiber section substituted a greater impact on the textile, nonwoven has little effect, because the non-woven fabric production basically depend on man-made car cover. Rayon in commercial development and application of professional non-woven fabric: since the establishment of the international economic treaties, micro-fiber, compound fiber, biodegradable fibers and new pet trade has increased. This non-woven, but on accessories and knitting kinds of textiles. Instead of textiles and other supplies: This includes being woven textiles, knitting textiles, plastic film, polyurea foam, wood pulp, leather, etc. This is required by the product with the requirements of cost and performance. The introduction of new, more economical, more efficient production process that consists of a polymer made from a variety of items, the competitive application of novel nonwoven fabrics manufacturers  and special fiber and nonwoven textile additives. For non-woven fabric production of three fiber polypropylene fibers (62%), polyester (24%) and rayons (8% of the total). In 1970-1985, non woven SMS fabric in production. But the last five years, in sanitary absorbent materials and medical textiles, polypropylene fibres and polyester fiber applications. In the early days of non-woven nylon production market, many from 1998 onwards, acrylic fiber consumption started to rise, particularly in the manufacture of leather.
