Worldwide Nonwovens Industry Report Is Published By Global Trade Associations
Exclusive, Comprehensive report tracks growth of nonwovens industry worldwide and projects consumption and investment through 2009
CARY, NC – January 17, 2005 – With the global nonwovens business projected to grow more than 7 percent a year through the end of the decade, an ambitious report – “Worldwide Outlook for the Nonwovens Industry” – has been published to guide manufacturers, suppliers and converters of nonwovens into the future of this important market.
Compiled and published jointly between the industry’s leading global trade associations – INDA, Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry (U.S.), and EDANA, the European Disposables and Nonwovens Association – the Worldwide Outlook contains both the historical review of the business from 1994-2004 as well as in-depth end-use, raw material and investment projections through 2009.
“This comprehensive Worldwide Outlook is designed as both a barometer of the size and scope of the global nonwovens business today as well as a tool for companies throughout the supply chain to identify opportunities for the future,” says Rory Holmes, President of INDA, Cary, N.C.
“Together, INDA and EDANA have succeeded in producing the first authoritative overview of the worldwide nonwovens industry,” adds Pierre Wiertz, General Manager of EDANA, Brussels, Belgium. “To commission this report independently would cost a company in excess of $50,000. So we are delighted that our joint cooperation has resulted in major cost benefits for our member companies.”
