Spunlace Market Report

Spunlace nonwovens consumption accounted for 1.8 million tons, valued at $10.3 billion, according to industry analyst Smithers. Meanwhile, in terms of value, spunlace makes up 17.5% of the market in 2023; this will increase to 20% by 2028. This will in part be attributed to robust investment in spunlace lines driven by diversification of spunlace materials in applications including hygiene, wipes, or durables.

However, as consumers become increasingly more conscious of the environmental impact of their purchasing decisions, they are looking for reusable alternatives in everyday uses. Wipes and many other disposable products are under scrutiny in terms of sustainability. Therefore, sustainable raw materials are a focal point in product development, bringing about a high level of innovation as manufacturers search for new raw materials or raw material combinations in order to offer “greener” product solutions. Recent technological advances in the spunlace market are providing the best of both worlds—a disposable wipe with a more sustainable footprint.

Its capacity to utilize natural and renewable resources aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly products, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
