Meltblown Nonwovens: United States Report

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2029 US meltblown wovens demand in metric tons and nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand is segmented by application in terms of:

• filters

• medical/surgical products

• other applications such as wipes, personal hygiene products, and insulation

To illustrate historical trends, total demand and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2019 to 2024.
This report analyzes the merchant market for meltblown nonwovens. For the purposes of this report, demand includes both meltblowns used alone as well as those that are combined with one or more other nonwovens to produce composite nonwovens such as spunbond-meltblown-spunbond (SMS). Sales of composite nonwovens are broken down according to their constituent web types and the portion of the product that is made of meltblown is included. Excluded are nonwovens made by other formation processes.
This report also includes demand for meltblown nonwovens – both those produced captively and those from the merchant market – used to make both medical and nonmedical masks. Masks include both respirators – which are tight-fitting face masks such as N95, FFP2, and KN95 – and loose-fitting face masks often called surgical or medical masks. The latter are called masks for the purpose of this report to differentiate them from respirators.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
