In 2020, the main business revenue and total profit of nonwovens enterprises above designated size in my country were 175.28 billion yuan and 24.52 billion yuan, an increase of 54.04% and 328.11% year-on-year respectively, and the net profit rate was 13.99%, both reaching the best level in history.

Li Guimei pointed out that in 2020, spunbond, needle punching and spunlace will still be the three major processes in my country's nonwovens industry. The proportion of spunbond and spunlace production will increase, and the proportion of meltblown nonwovens will increase by 5 Percentage points, the proportion of acupuncture output decreased by nearly 7 percentage points. According to the incomplete statistics of the members of the China Industry Association, in 2020, my country will add 200 spunbond nonwoven production lines, 160 spunlace nonwovens production lines, and 170 needle-punched nonwovens production lines, which translates to more than 3 million tons of new capacity. , These new capacity will gradually reach production and release in 2021.

　　 When talking about the current situation and challenges of China's nonwovens industry, Li Guimei pointed out that the future development of the industry will face trends such as high-end, high-tech, diversified, and ecological. In terms of high-end, it is necessary to enhance brand, design, and research and development capabilities, optimize the processing and manufacturing environment and form, and enhance the non-price competitiveness of the industry; in terms of high-tech, it is necessary to develop and improve special resin and fiber varieties, research and develop high-end equipment, research and development and quantity To produce high-end non-woven fabrics and products; in terms of diversification, it is necessary to support the industry with low-cost, high-quality technology, equipment and raw materials, develop high-value-added multifunctional textiles, and develop textiles that serve the people's livelihood and improve and affect human lives in the future; In terms of ecologicalization, it is necessary to develop new fiber resources, optimize the quality of natural fibers, develop energy-saving and clean functional finishing technologies, and research and develop harmless and safe textile chemicals. At the same time, it is necessary to explore unknown areas: attach importance to research on cutting-edge and cutting-edge textile technology, pay attention to research on the essence of things, and form fundamental and disruptive innovations in the textile industry.

　　 David Rousse, president of the American Nonwovens Association, introduced the development status and future trends of nonwovens and personal protective equipment in North America under the influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic through video. INDA statistics show that the United States, Mexico, and Canada are the main nonwovens production capacity contributors in North America. The nonwovens production capacity utilization rate in this region will reach 86% in 2020. Since this year, this data has remained high, and corporate investment has also It keeps increasing. The newly increased production capacity mainly includes disposable products represented by absorbent sanitary products, filter products, and wet wipes, and durable materials represented by non-woven fabrics for transportation and non-woven fabrics for construction.
