According to the eleventh edition of the annual North American Nonwovens Supply report, North America's nonwovens capacity reached 5.713 million tonnes in 2023. This report offers a comprehensive view of the North American nonwoven material supply through 2023, including the critical metrics of capacity, production and operating rates, and regional trade. It is based on in-depth research, producer surveys, and interviews with industry leaders.
With investments being made for a range of end-uses and across all processes, North American capacity is still growing. According to the report, production output is changing and has slowed down in 2023 to reflect larger machine installations that are only now coming online. In 2023, a lot of new nonwoven production lines were put in place, primarily in the long-life industries, which indicates a move in the right direction toward all-encompassing sustainable goals.
“INDA provides valuable data and actionable industry information to enhance decision making in our capital-intensive industry. This report is the most complete and accurate portrayal for both rolled goods and other nonwoven materials produced in North America. These supply and demand balance metrics are essential for strategic planning and business investment decisions,” Tony Fragnito, INDA president, said in a press release.
As part of their membership, INDA members receive complimentary executive summaries of the quarterly INDA Market Pulse, monthly Price Trends Summary, and annual Supply Reports. Both the biennial North American Nonwovens Industry Outlook, which was released in October 2023, and the biennial Global Nonwoven Markets Report, which is scheduled for publication in October 2024, are based on the data collected for this annual report.
"We had a pretty amazing producer response from the industry, much like in 2023. In response to pressure from competition in the global supply chain, the markets are changing. According to principal market and industry analyst Mark Snider, "This report highlights significant metrics describing the changes and the reasons behind them."
