Although some established players like France and the Benelux countries were at a standstill, many pushed on from last year with Greece, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovenia, the UK and Ireland all witnessing growth. In Greater Europe as a whole, the standout performers were Turkey, posting a double-digit growth rate, and Russia, where growth exceeded 9 %.

Divergent trends were also observed between the various production processes: Wetlaid production recorded the most important growth rate (+10.2 %). This type of web-formation now represents 9 % of nonwovens produced in Europe. Short-fiber airlaid nonwovens production increased slightly in 2017 by 1.3 %. Drylaid nonwovens reached 1 million tons, representing a 3.6 % increase in tonnage.

Although the primary main end-use for nonwovens continues to be the hygiene market, with a 29.8 % market share by weight, significant growth areas for nonwovens were recorded in other sectors; medical (+13.2 %), automotive (+13 %) and electronic materials (+21 %).
