Considering the number of options available for engineering non-woven with different properties the growth comes without surprise.
The global non-woven product has grown by an annual 7.
7 million tons. In 1997, the global production of non-woven was 2.4 million tons with a value of US billion which grew to 10.
1 million tons with a value of $42.3 billion in 2017.
