The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Non-woven Fabrics Market witnessed significant growth during the period 2025-2031. Non-woven fabrics are versatile materials made from fibers bonded together mechanically, thermally, or chemically, and the market`s expansion was driven by factors such as the UAE thriving healthcare and hygiene sectors, the demand for eco-friendly and disposable products, and the use of non-woven fabrics in various industrial applications.
Several factors acted as drivers for the growth of the UAE non-woven fabrics market. Firstly, the UAE growing healthcare and medical sectors, including hospitals, clinics, and personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturing, contributed to the demand for non-woven fabrics for medical gowns, masks, and surgical drapes. Secondly, the increasing awareness of environmental concerns and the preference for eco-friendly and biodegradable materials drove the adoption of non-woven fabrics in various disposable products. Additionally, the versatility of non-woven fabrics in industrial applications, such as automotive and construction, further boosted their demand.
The market also encountered specific challenges during the forecast period. One of the primary challenges was the competition from alternative materials, such as woven fabrics and synthetic polymers, which are preferred for certain applications due to their specific properties and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for petroleum-based fibers, impacted the production costs for non-woven fabric manufacturers. Additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic led to temporary disruptions in supply chains and logistics, affecting the availability and distribution of non-woven fabrics.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had a notable impact on the UAE non-woven fabrics market. During the initial stages of the pandemic, there was a surge in demand for medical and hygiene products, including masks, gowns, and wipes, leading to increased consumption of non-woven fabrics. Additionally, the use of non-woven fabrics in disinfection and sterilization products contributed to their importance in controlling the spread of the virus. However, the pandemic also highlighted the need for strengthening domestic production capacities and supply chain resilience for critical materials like non-woven fabrics.
Several key players dominated the UAE non-woven fabrics market during the specified period. These companies were involved in the manufacturing and supply of a wide range of non-woven fabrics for various applications. Some of the prominent players included Berry Inc., Freudenberg Group, Ahlstrom-Munksj? Oyj, and Toray Industries, Inc.
