In the production of non-woven fabrics, three primary fibers are commonly used: polypropylene, which accounts for 62% of the total, polyester at 24%, and viscose fiber making up 8%. Historically, from the 1970s to the mid-1980s, viscose fibers were the most widely utilized in non-woven fabric manufacturing. However, over the past five years, there has been a noticeable shift in the industry, especially in sectors like hygienic absorbent materials and medical textiles, where polypropylene and polyester have become the dominant choices.
In the early days of non-woven fabric development, nylon was also used in significant quantities. But since 1998, the usage of acrylic fibers has steadily increased, particularly in the production of artificial leather. This evolution reflects changing market demands and technological advancements that have influenced material selection across various applications. As industries continue to evolve, the choice of fibers is likely to keep adapting to meet new performance and sustainability requirements.
