These textiles can be made to absorb moisture, be breathable, fire-resistant, heat and light insulation, be moldable, soft, stable, hard, and resistant to cuts, and also repel insects if necessary.
In recent years, due to the COVID pandemic and its effects on the lifestyle of the people of the world, the growth of the non-woven textile industry, especially for use in the production of absorbent health products (AHP) has been significant.

The non-woven industry needs to expand further in the future.

In the automotive industry, these textiles are used in car seats, sound and heat insulation, ceilings, wheel arches, and carpets because non-woven textiles are 30% lighter than conventional raw materials in the automotive industry.
In the construction industry, non-woven textiles are commonly used as a substitute for heavier raw materials such as steel in acoustic parts, floors and ceilings, roofs, window frame flashings, walls, and many more.

The global price of non-woven textiles has always grown significantly over the past 50 years, and the production of these textiles in all countries has rapidly increased. If we consider the average growth in the non-woven textile industry to be about 6 to 7 percent for the whole world, the growth rate of developing countries and Asian countries is about 10 percent, and the share of developed countries such as Germany, the USA, and Japan is about 3-4%.

The Middle East and North Africa region is at a disadvantage in terms of social and political conditions, which is why oil revenues have declined and governments have struggled to develop their industries. However, the non-woven fabric market in countries such as Iran, Türkiye, and Egypt has great potential for development. These countries are looking for opportunities for the growth of their industries in the future, and one of their goals is to develop their non-woven fabric industries so that they can use this opportunity to enter the non-woven fabric market.

This article describes the production, export, and domestic market consumption of each country in relation to the capacities and technologies of non-woven textile production.
What is the situation of non-woven textiles in Iran?
The non-woven textile industry in Iran is an industry that has developed a lot in the last decade, and although it is still a young industry, a good future can be imagined for it. There are good companies in Iran’s non-woven industry that today try to enter global and regional markets to export their products.

In the division of different applications of non-woven fabrics in Iran, medical and hospital applications constitute about 5% of the total basket of non-woven textiles. For example, before the COVID outbreak, the annual production capacity of masks in Iran was about 120 to 200 million pieces, after which the daily production of 1.2 million masks has been reported by licensed industrial units. By comparing these figures, we will find that Iran’s usual nominal capacity has increased several times.

Of course, for domestic consumption, about 50 million masks are needed daily to combat air pollution and pandemics, and therefore the probability of per capita consumption of masks will increase compared to the years before the pandemic.
According to the information received from the General Department of Textile Industries of the Ministry of Mines of Iran, 37 units with a capacity of 43,000 tons are active in the production of non-woven fabrics.

Some of the famous companies in the field of non-woven textile production are Zarif Mosavar industrial group, Rezin Industrial Kian, Peyvande Jahan Pars, Bi-woven Gostar Jahan, Pars Dorsa, Plast Yazd, Bi-woven Kalardasht, Novin Alborz.
