China's non-woven fabric growth rate of the world

The non-woven fabric industry in the United States is developing rapidly, and its technology is also leading the world. During the Shaoxing 2008 China Nonwovens Industry Training Course was held, the reporter interviewed Mr. Rory, chairman of the American Nonwovens Industry Association. Reporter: Sir, please give a brief introduction to the American Nonwovens Association and the industry. American Nonwovens Association is the West's largest nonwovens association, with 325 members. Of these, there are more than 50 countries outside the United States, and this figure is expanding as the nonwovens industry grows. The American Nonwovens Association operates as a small company with 20 full-time staff and 4 part-time staff. The main sources of funding are exhibitions, training and data reports. U.S. industry continued to grow at a rate of 5.6%. Industrial textiles and non-woven fabrics developed rapidly. Two-thirds of them are consumer products. The fastest growing was the wipes, baby products, showing steady growth. Followed by household textiles. Growth is also fast, well-known companies have swifferbyP & G and so on. Then there are wet tissue and other cleaning supplies and filter materials, the rapid development. Reporter: How do you feel about the current nonwovens industry in China? What are the deficiencies? China's non-woven fabric is developing at a very fast rate, giving the world an overall impression of a steady increase in output. The annual growth rate of the nonwovens industry is maintained at around 7.5%. China's economic growth rate is very significant. It surpassed Japan five years ago and now overtakes the United States. With the rapid development of China's nonwovens industry, China's nonwovens growth rate is likely to surpass the EU, China may become the world's largest nonwovens producer. With the growth of personal purchasing power in China, the consumption of nonwovens industry is also bound to increase. The United States is a country that consumes a large amount of non-woven products in the world, with an annual output of about 5 kg per person. China is about 1 kg per person per year, so China's market potential is great, but not enough innovation, low technology, a single product variety. There are also some problems in terms of quality. I visited the production plant of the new Zhongtian Group here and gave them a good impression of their product quality. Good quality to get the international market. Reporter: China's non-woven cloth industry and the United States non-woven cloth counterparts which can learn from each other and learn from? Can give full play to their respective advantages, to achieve technology and market docking. At the same time as industrial growth, raw material prices make profit margins smaller. Therefore, our two countries can complement each other in many aspects of the industrial chain, such as raw materials, equipment and technology.
