Increasing investment in sustainable production methods, biodegradable fibers, and automated finishing technologies is reinforcing long-term market expansion.

Segmental Highlights

Polypropylene (PP) Leads with 46.3% Market Share in 2025

Polypropylene dominates as the preferred material due to its:

• Excellent mechanical strength-to-weight ratio
• Easy processability
• High durability in demanding environments
• Resistance to chemicals, wear & moisture
• Strong recyclability potential

PP’s compatibility with thermal bonding, ultrasonic sealing, and high-speed converting lines ensures its continued leadership in the nonwoven flanging sector.

Automotive Industry Secures 51.7% Market Share

The automotive sector is the largest adopter, driven by:

• Tightening emission norms
• Demand for lightweight, noise-reducing materials
• EV growth requiring advanced insulation systems
• Modular, precision-fit components

Nonwoven flanging is increasingly used in HVAC ducts, cabin filters, interior panels, and thermal/acoustic linings to improve fit, reduce vibration, and enhance air sealing performance.

Filtration Holds the Top Application Spot with 39.2% Share

Filtration demand is rising due to:

• Industrial pollution controls
• Global HVAC expansion
• Air quality regulations
• Increased use of high-efficiency particulate filtration

Nonwoven flanging materials offer customizable porosity, excellent durability, and high particle capture efficiency—making them indispensable across industrial, automotive, and residential filtration systems.
