This study analyzes the $4 billion US nonwovens industry. It presents historical data and forecasts to 2007 and 2012 by material (e.g., polypropylene, polyester, rayon, wood pulp, polyethylene, cotton); by product (e.g., spunbonded, meltblown, carded, wet laid, air laid, thermal bonded, chemical bonded, mechanical bonded); and by market.
