This is INDA’s first report on the Nonwovens Industry in India. The report is divided into two sections: Section 1 provides an overview of India including population, people, customs, trends, gross national product, economic performance and other useful information to executives considering expansion in the country. This section also provides various market entry strategies. In brief, it is a primer on how to enter the rapidly expanding Indian market and how to do it safely and successfully. Section 2 is an analysis of the 2007 nonwoven industry of India with an outlook to 2012. The nonwoven information is a compilation of data provided by major industry roll goods producers in India, government sources, consultants and various companies involved in the emerging Indian nonwoven industry. This report analyzes the current consumption of nonwovens and related nonwoven products, either produced domestically or imported. A forecast through 2012 is provided for the significant nonwoven markets and discusses important trends that are driving consumption. The report analyzes the major nonwovens disposable (absorbent hygiene, premoistened baby wipes, medical and durable markets (interlining, automotive, home furnishings & bedding, agricultural crop covers, roofing components, needlepunched carpeting, geotextiles and coated/laminated substrates). Several markets that are normally analyzed in our North American reports were not studied due to their current small size in India. These markets were filtration, sorbents, shoe components and electronics. INDA’s mission is to promote the growth and profitability of the nonwovens industry. It is also our goal to serve the worldwide interest of our many members and consumers of the nonwovens’ and related industries’ products. Please feel free to contact me on any aspect of this report.
