SUMMARY & HIGHLIGHTS The market for needled felts - worldwide - representing roll goods consumes approximately 29,000 tons of fiber. |
|
******************* |
|
The total worldwide filter media roll good market represents approximately 65MMm2 filter area. The sales value of worldwide filter media roll goods amounts to $248.0MM for baghouse filtration. |
|
******************** |
|
All needled felts worldwide for dry/dust and liquid filtration amounts to $410.0MM. |
|
******************** |
|
Needled felt in baghouse filtration will be challenged by spun bonded nonwoven media for pleated bag configurations and in addition by Durapex™ type fabrics. |
|
******************** |
|
The overall growth worldwide is tied into government legislation and enforcement, but we believe 3% to 5%/year until 2010 is reasonable except for China. |
|
******************** |
|
China already today 2002/2003 has a 16 - 18MMm2 filter media market of which approximately 8 - 10MMm2 are needled felts, 4 - 5MMm2 are woven glass, and 2 - 3MMm2 are woven cotton and synthetic fabrics. We believe this market will explode and could develop into a 30 - 35MMm2 market by 2010. |
|
******************** |
|
Needled felts are today offered at prices below 1995 levels, and we are afraid this this trend will continue (if oil prices do not go beyond $30.00/barrel). |

DISCLAIMER |

|
|
SUMMARY & HIGHLIGHTS Historically BBA NONWOVENS is by far the largest current supplier of spunbonded nonwovens into filtration worldwide. In Europe, we believe that JOHNS MANVILLE is the largest supplier of 'fine denier' spunbonded polyester. |
|
******************* |
|
There are now a number of equipment manufacturers offering equipment including bi-component fibers to produce 'fine denier' spunbonded materials. |
|
******************** |
|
We
believe that the current market 2002/2003 amounts to approximately |
|
******************** |
|
We believe that coolant filtration or filter media in general for this application will decrease in years to come. This is particularly apparent in Europe. |
|
******************** |
|
It can be safely stated that still relatively few companies of the many spunbonded producer have focused on filtration. |
|
******************** |
|
Spunbonded media as membrane backing will most likely decline in favor of some wet laid filtration media. |
|
******************** |
|
'Fine Denier' spunbonded - 1.0 dpf - 6 dpf (denier per filament) carries tremendous potential to get into new and existing filtration applications. |
