“A great time to be in nonwovens…”
North American growth exceeded US real GDP for the seventh consecutive year in 2020.
30th April 2021
INDA, based in Cary, North Carolina, has just published the eighth edition of its annual
North American Nonwovens Supply Report for its members, which reveals that in 2020, North American nonwovens capacity increased to 5.552 million tonnes,
This is a net increase of 0.7% – 39,000 tons – over 2019, reflecting not only the addition of new lines, but also machine productivity increases and some line closures.
In the last three years, 51 lines have come online and 22 lines have been shut-down. Furthermore, as a result of the pandemic, some of the new line additions planned for 2020 have shifted to 2021.
