Special industrial fabric refers to non-woven fabrics with special functions or uses, such as waterproof, fireproof, anti-static, UV resistant, wear-resistant, and warm. There are many types of special industrial fabrics, and according to different production processes, they can be divided into spunlaced non-woven fabrics, heat bonded non-woven fabrics, pulp air flow mesh non-woven fabrics, wet non-woven fabrics, spunbonded non-woven fabrics, melt blown non-woven fabrics, needle punched non-woven fabrics, etc. According to different purposes, it can be divided into medical hygiene materials, filtering materials, insulation materials, sound absorbing materials, geotextiles, tufted carpet substrates, coating substrates, etc. Widely used in fields such as architecture, automobiles, aviation, electronics, and healthcare. The following are several common types of special industrial fabrics:

Fireproof and flame-retardant fabric: Textile with fire and flame-retardant functions, used for decoration and fire isolation in buildings, ships, trains, and other places.

Anti static fabric: Textile with anti static function, used to prevent static electricity accumulation and spark generation, commonly used in industries such as electronic manufacturing and semiconductor production.

Chemical resistant cloth: A textile with acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, used for corrosion protection in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals.

Waterproof breathable fabric: A textile with waterproof and breathable functions, used in outdoor clothing, tents, shoes, and other products.

High strength fiber cloth: A textile made of high-strength fiber materials with high tensile strength and wear resistance, used in fields such as building reinforcement and safety protection.

International market analysis of special industrial fabrics:

1、 Due to the impact of the COVID-19, the demand and output of global special industrial fabrics declined in 2020, mainly due to the downturn in the automotive, construction and aviation industries. However, due to the increasing demand for medical and hygiene products, some special industrial fabrics such as mask wrapping materials and medical dressing materials still maintain a high growth rate.

2、 It is expected that by 2026, the global market size of specialty industrial fabrics will reach 53 billion US dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.5%. The main driving factors include the strengthening of environmental regulations, the development of new technologies and materials, the growth of emerging markets, and consumer demand for high-performance products.

3、 The Asia Pacific region is the world's largest region for the production and consumption of specialty industrial fabrics, accounting for nearly 40% of the global market share. China is the largest producer and exporter of special industrial fabrics in the Asia Pacific region and even globally, with a complete industrial chain and technological innovation capabilities. Countries such as India and Southeast Asia are also important markets for specialty industrial fabrics, with high growth potential.

4、 Europe and North America are the main import regions for specialty industrial fabrics worldwide, as well as regions with advanced technology and brands. These regions have high requirements for the quality and performance of special industrial fabrics, while also facing stricter environmental and safety standards. Therefore, these regions have high selection standards for suppliers of special industrial fabrics.

Summary: The demand for special industrial fabrics in the international market is constantly increasing. With the development of the global economy and the increasing demand for safety and environmental protection, the application of special industrial fabrics in various industries is becoming increasingly widespread. At the same time, the rise of emerging markets has also provided more opportunities for special industrial fabrics. For example, the construction, automotive, and electronics industries in Asia are developing rapidly, and the demand for special industrial fabrics is also increasing. In addition, some developed countries' emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development has also promoted the development of special industrial fabrics. Therefore, special industrial fabrics have broad development prospects in the international market.

Qingdao Jiushan Fiber Cloth recommends the following high-quality special industrial fabrics for you:

Waterproof non-woven fabric: This special industrial fabric has excellent waterproof performance and can be used to make raincoats, umbrellas, tents, waterproof bags, etc. Its production process involves coating a layer of waterproof materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE) on the surface of ordinary non-woven fabrics. You can see a picture of waterproof non-woven fabric here.

Fireproof non-woven fabric: This special industrial fabric has good flame retardancy and can be used to make fire suits, fire blankets, fire curtains, etc. Its production process involves adding a certain proportion of flame retardants, such as ammonium chloride, boric acid, phosphate, etc., to the fibers of ordinary non-woven fabrics. You can see a picture of fireproof non-woven fabric here.

Anti static non-woven fabric: This special industrial fabric has anti static performance and can be used to make packaging materials for electronic products, dust filtering materials, explosion-proof clothing, etc. Its production process involves adding a certain proportion of conductive fibers, such as carbon fibers, metal fibers, conductive coating fibers, etc., to the fibers of ordinary non-woven fabrics.
