my country’s meltblown cloth production is gradually declining and production technical barriers are low

The full name of melt-blown fabric is melt-blown non-woven fabric. It is made from polymer slices with high melt index as raw materials. After being heated and extruded into high-temperature melt, the melt is blown into extremely fine fibers using high-speed hot air flow. A fiber mesh is formed on the receiving device and then bonded to each other through residual heat. The structure of melt-blown cloth is relatively fluffy and there are many gaps between fibers, so it has excellent shielding, filtration, oil absorption, thermal insulation, etc.

At present, my country’s meltblown cloth industry chain has basically taken shape. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material supply layer, providing polypropylene, polyester, polyurethane and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the melt-blown cloth production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of melt-blown cloth; the downstream is mainly the application field, melt-blown cloth is multi-purpose To produce insulation materials, oil-absorbing materials, filter materials, masks, sanitary products, battery separators and other products, which are widely used in medical and health, industry, environmental protection, clothing, automobile industry and other fields. Among them, medical and health care has become the largest application field of meltblown cloth, accounting for 53.4%; followed by the industrial field, accounting for 35.2%.

According to the “2023-2027 Meltblown Fabric Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestion Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, due to Affected by the epidemic, the demand for medical protective equipment has surged. As an important raw material for the production of masks, meltblown cloth has seen rapid growth in market demand. Under the leadership of national policies, my country’s meltblown cloth companies have expanded their production scale, production capacity equipment has been put into operation quickly, and output has been greatly increased. However, as the epidemic has been basically brought under control, downstream demand has gradually declined, the operating rate of meltblown cloth companies has gradually declined, and output has also gradually declined. In 2022, my country’s meltblown cloth output will be 125,900 tons.

There are many companies in my country’s meltblown fabric market, but the number of large companies is relatively small. my country’s largest meltblown fabric companies mainly include Quantum Jinzhou, Hengtian Jiahua, Xinlong Holdings, etc. In addition, there are still some small and medium-sized enterprises in my country’s meltblown cloth market. These enterprises are small in scale, have low output, relatively backward production technology, and lack market competitiveness. As China’s production capacity structure gradually upgrades, some small and medium-sized melt-blown fabric companies are gradually eliminated, and the market share moves closer to large companies. The melt-blown fabric market concentration is expected to increase in the future.

Industry analysts said that thanks to the gradual advancement of production technology, the overall quality of melt-blown cloth has been greatly improved, and the application scenarios have gradually broadened. , gradually transforming from the medical and health fields to industrial, home, automotive interior and other fields. In addition, consumers’ awareness of health and hygiene has gradually increased, and disposable products made of melt-blown cloth as raw materials have been welcomed by consumers. With the further improvement of production technology, the meltblown cloth market will usher in more development opportunities, and the industry development prospects are very optimistic.
