Absorbent nonwoven cores set for steady growth

New York - The world market for absorbent nonwoven cores is entering a period of steady expansion, with volume growth projected in the 4–7% range annually through to 2035 as hygiene product usage continues to increase in both developed and emerging economies.

These specialised nonwoven structures, used as functional intermediates in diapers, feminine hygiene, adult incontinence and selected medical applications, are also undergoing a mix shift toward premium and high‑purity grades as converters and brand owners seek higher absorbency, lower lint and more robust certification.
