2014 Market Forecast of Industrial Textiles
At present, China, India, South Korea, and other developing countries have major growth prospects for industrial end products. In 2012, the global industrial textiles market had a sales volume of approximately USD 129 billion, an increase of 2.5% over 2011, of which Asia accounted for 45% of the global market for industrial textiles. In Asian industrial textiles market, China's consumer spending accounts for 50%, which is a very important country. In the past 20 years, China’s consumption of industrial textiles has grown at an annual rate of about 10%. However, China's industrial textiles are usually some low-end products, as well as intermediate materials, and high-tech and high-value-added products still need to be imported. Relative to the United States and Europe, China's labor costs are low, and it is expected that China's industrial textiles industry will continue to have advantages in the global market.
In addition, in 2013, India accounted for only 9% of the global market share of industrial textiles, of which about 67% produced low-end products, and only 33% produced high-end products. The reason for this is that India's industrial textiles and nonwovens industry is still in its infancy. Compared with the United States, Europe and China, its advanced technology is not in place.
In general, the international industrial market economy growth rate slowed down significantly in 2013, but many analysts believe that such a moderate slowdown is healthy, which helps to ease inflation, and is an inevitable way to ensure the long-term survival of the industry.
In 2014 and beyond, the market share of industrial textile manufacturers in the United States and other developed countries is expected to increase. Mainly due to the existence of demand in some market segments, such as automotive, defense, geosynthetics, safety and technical products, and graphic fabrics. In my opinion, successful manufacturers in mid-2014 should be those who can make significant investments in innovative products and can clearly communicate the value of their products and services to customers. This time I will focus on the analysis of the above-mentioned key end product markets. They are: safety technology products, narrow fabrics, geosynthetic materials, and graphic fabrics.
1 Global Security Product Sales Expected to Increase 6%
Core Judgment: In 2013, the profit rate of the US market for security products was 17%. The reason for this figure was mainly the investment and acquisition of large multinational companies and the development of new technologies, making it difficult for smaller companies to enter the market.
In 2013, the global market for security and protection products had sales of approximately US$22 billion, and the average annual growth rate of the market reached 6%. This market has been showing a slow growth trend before 2009, but since 2010, the market has rebounded, achieving a 5% growth.
The US sales of safety and protection products reached 5 billion U.S. dollars in 2013 and grew by 5 to 7 percentage points per year. In 2013, the profit rate of the US security and protection product supply market was 17%. This figure was mainly caused by the investment and acquisition of large multinational companies and the development of new technologies, making it difficult for smaller companies to enter the market and compete.
The market for industrial protective clothing in the US and Europe accounts for more than half of the global market for industrial protective clothing. Worldwide, the flame-retardant protective clothing market has experienced the fastest growth in the Asia Pacific region, reaching US$430 million in 2013. Its growth in Asia is mainly driven by the construction of new manufacturing plants in the Middle East, India, China and Vietnam, as well as the smooth start-up of new construction projects.
In addition, in addition to being the most populous country in the world, China and India also have a large number of industrial workers who are not protected (not wearing protective clothing). This will make the protective clothing market have unlimited growth potential in the future. "Made in Asia" plays a pivotal role in global manufacturing. Therefore, the demand for protective articles for workers in the future will only grow.
In October 2013, the International Association of Industrial Textiles conducted a survey of the US security and protection products market. According to the report, U.S. security and protection product suppliers and manufacturers anticipate that compared to 2013, global security in 2014 The protective product market is expected to increase sales by 6%. These markets include apparel, construction and industry, and the automotive industry, of which the automotive industry will have a strong influence on the safety and protection products market in 2014. In addition, end-product manufacturers in the traditional security and protection product market will continue to face fierce competition from China's cheap imported products.
2 The narrow growth rate of the Asian fabric market will reach approximately 7% in the future
Core Judgment: In 2013, the US narrow-fiber fabric market sales growth is about 2%; Asia's narrow-width fabric market will have strong growth in the next few years, is expected to reach 7%, South America is about 5.5%, while the United States is still 2% The annual growth rate has increased.
The Narrow Fabric Institute of America conducted an in-depth study of the narrow fabric market in North America in 2013. The research market covers the United States, Canada and Mexico. According to a survey conducted by the Narrow Fabrics Institute of the United States, the narrow fabric market has added two distinct market segments, namely the car seat belt and the pet traction belt market.
The International Industrial Textiles Industry Association also participated in the survey. The survey focused on the investigation of five key market segments: automotive seat belts, textiles and clothing, safety products such as tied ropes, transportation products such as pulls and slings, and medical products such as gauze And bandages.
In 2013, the sales growth of the US narrow-width fabric market was about 2%; the Asian (China) narrow-width fabric market will have strong growth in the next few years, about 7%, South America about 5.5%, and the United States will still be 2%. The annual growth rate has increased.
seat belt. In 2013, sales of new light vehicles in the United States increased by 85% to 15.5 million, and the use of seat belt fabrics was 230 million meters. The US car and light car market is an active source of growth for narrow-web fabrics in the United States, because each new light car sold is equivalent to selling 28 square meters of fabric. In 2012, the fabric consumed in the US light vehicle market was approximately 403 million square meters.
** Textiles and clothing. Compared with 2011, the consumption of textiles and clothing in the United States decreased by 16% in 2012, but in 2013, the US Department of Defense and the Defense Logistics Agency increased the consumption of textiles and clothing for the United States 6.3. %, reaching 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, so 2013 sales of narrow fabrics in US and US textiles and apparel increased by 1% year-on-year.
Safety products. As construction and construction projects began to grow rapidly again, sales of safety products (especially protective bands) in the United States increased by 4% year-on-year in 2013. In addition, the United States promised to allocate 100 billion U.S. dollars for federal highways and transit transportation in the next two years. The Canadian government promised to allocate 70 billion U.S. dollars for the construction of infrastructure and buildings in the next 10 years. It is expected that in the next few years, the United States and Canada will increase by 3 to 5 percentage points each year in project construction.
Transport products. In the US transportation market, sales of bundles and slings are both increasing. However, because imported products from China and South Korea are relatively cheap, the US's bondage rope manufacturers generally feel that sales have been affected. However, the good news is that this market can still guarantee an annual growth rate of 3%. This is mainly due to the fact that the binding rope has replaced the steel wire rope and the chain.
medical products. The global medical product market grew by 6% in 2013 and is expected to continue to grow by 6% by 2014. The market has a bright future in the United States, thanks in large part to the 80 million baby booms that have occurred in this country. Since 2009, the industrial textile industry in the United States/Canada has narrowed, but the narrow fabric market is still robust. Small to medium-sized companies have found their niche markets, such as medical and security. In addition, due to the competitive prices of imported products, some overseas companies are transferring their own production facilities and are preparing to return to the United States and Canada.
3 U.S. geosynthetics market growth will achieve 4%
Core Judgment: According to the statistics of the International Association of Industrial Textiles, in 2012, there are 535 coal ash plants in the United States that have demand for liners, which means that the US geosynthetics market may have 300 to 3.5 million US dollars in the next 5 to 7 years. Sales.
At present, there are about 50 geosynthetics products manufacturing companies in the US market. In 2013, the U.S./Canadian geosynthetics market was US$2.2 billion, an increase of 3% compared to 2012.
The US MAP-21 Transport Act, enacted in early 2013, meets the requirements of geospatial technology for transportation infrastructure construction and watershed management. The MAP-21 Act promotes the use of innovative projects, including digital 3D modeling technology, and many agencies and service companies will be widely used in the design and management of infrastructure projects. According to MAP-21 regulations, the government will allocate US$105 billion for the improvement of ground transportation facilities in the United States. The entry into force of the MAP-21 bill will ease the uncertainty of some road and bridge construction projects. In addition, in 2013, the MAP-21 Act has helped the US geosynthetics market achieve positive growth.
The U.S. interstate highway system is currently the most comprehensive highway system in the world. Its huge scale, rapid development and subsequent improvement have changed the use of the traffic road. Although it is still unclear whether the federal government’s interstate highway program will affect the pavement market in September 2014, it is certain that the US geosynthetics market will achieve a 4% growth rate in 2014.
At the same time, when predicting the US geosynthetic material market in 2014, the significant problem in this market was the lack of supervision of coal ash plants. According to the statistics of the International Association of Industrial Textiles, in 2012, a total of 535 coal ash plants in the United States had a demand for liners, which means that the US geosynthetic material market may generate 3 million to 3.5 million US dollars in sales in the next 5 to 7 years. amount.
4 Canada graphics fabric consumption will increase by 3%
Core Judgment: The most growth potential products in graphic fabrics are sublimation products. In addition, wide-format inkjet products such as body stickers and soft labels, especially (POP) signs, as well as trade shows and indoor/outdoor banners will continue to grow. .
Today's graphics fabric market typically uses inkjet printing (such as UV, solvent, latex or dye sublimation) or digital printing to print graphics onto fabrics. Outdoor banners often use vinyl-laminated polyester; indoor banners often use digital printing on polyester, cotton canvas, nylon, and other materials to create graphic fabrics.
Compared with 2012, the sales of the American graphic fabric market increased by 3% in 2013. The market has achieved good sales performance for two consecutive years. In 2013, the total fabric consumption of graphic fabric processors in Canada was 3.06 million square meters. The International Industrial Textiles Association predicts that the consumption of graphic fabrics in Canada in 2014 will increase by 3% to 3.18 million square meters.
The most growth potential in graphic fabrics is sublimation products. In addition, as companies began to increase investment in promotional advertising and advertising, wide-format inkjet products will also continue to grow. The significant growth of wide-format inkjet products is mainly body stickers and soft labels, especially (POP) signs, as well as trade shows and Indoor/outdoor banners and more.
Digitally printed textiles are a fast-growing market in the United States. Compared with 2012, this market sales growth rate reached 10% in 2013. The advantage of digitally printed textiles is that they provide custom support that is beneficial to short-term production runs and is more environmentally friendly due to the use of less water and dye. Factors driving the growth of digital printing textiles include the development of high-speed, high-density industrial inkjet printheads (worth US$ 300,000 and US$ 500,000 for this printhead), as well as new latex and sustainable UV inks. Development.
Smaller companies may also need to consider product specific application or service differentiation if they compete with larger, well-equipped graphic fabric companies. They not only need to invest in new technologies, reduce operating costs, but also improve the environmental protection coefficient, but also to increase production efficiency, develop new markets and equipment, and provide customers with a full range of services and solutions.
