Melt Blown Fibers Market

Melt Blown Fibers Market: Overview

• Melt-blowing is a process in which melt of a polymer is blown into super-fine fibers by hot and high-velocity air. A molten polymer is blown into ultrafine fibers and collected on a rotary drum to form a nonwoven web of fiber.
• The fabrics produced from the melt blown fibers can be used in the filtration of gaseous and liquid materials. These applications include water treatment, masks, and air conditioning filter.

Key Drivers of Global Melt Blown Fibers Market

• The global melt blown fibers market is expected to expand significantly due to an increase in the demand for medical fabrics, absorbent, and filtration products
• Melt blown fiber is utilized in diverse industries including filtration, electrical & electronics, medical, automotive, and insulation equipment. Rising demand for melt blown fabric in medical devices, hygiene products, household appliances, textile goods, and insulating products is expected drive the market for melt blown fiber during the forecast period
• Fine fibers melt blown fabric have properties such as fine mesh, high absorbent capacity, no chemical binders, and high surface area.

Polypropylene Material Segment to Dominate Global Melt Blown Fibers Market

• In terms of material, the polypropylene segment accounted for a major share of the market in 2019. This is due to low melt viscosity and high processability of polypropylene.
• Polypropylene makes good webs of fibers with high processability. Furthermore, melt blown fiber from polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate produce soft-fine fibred webs.
• Processing for polyethylene is difficult; however, it is majorly used in various end-user industries such as automotive and electrical and electronics

Health Care End-use Industry Segment to Expand at Significant Pace

• Based on end-use industry, the health care segment is projected to expand at a rapid pace owing to the high demand for melt blown fibers to produce medical fabrics. Manufacture of melt blown fibers primarily depend on end-user requirements for insulation and absorption or filtration. Increase in demand for hygiene products in developing nations is anticipated to further propel the melt blown fibers market.

Asia Pacific to Hold Significant Share of Global Melt Blown Fibers Market

• In terms of region, the global melt blown fibers market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• Asia Pacific is a major consumer of melt blown fibers across the globe. The region is likely to witness significant rise in demand in industries such as personal care, medical & hygiene, and electrical & electronics.
• North America and Europe followed Asia Pacific in terms of demand for melt blown fibers. Governments across Europe and North America offer various incentives for environmental and health compliant production, which fuels the use of various hygienic products. Rise in use of melt blown fibers in medical and hygienic products, such as masks and filtration products, is expected to boost the melt blown fibers market.
• Demand for melt blown fibers is likely to increase in Latin America in the near future, owing to significant expansion of the healthcare industry in the region.
