Last month, Indian nonwovens producer Supreme Group announced it would invest almost $26 million to establish its first U.S. manufacturing site in Lexington, NC. The 200,000-square-foot facility will serve as a hub for technical collaboration, allowing Supreme Nonwoven Inc. to work closely with North American customers and partners on customized material solutions. 

The decision for Supreme to invest in North Carolina was met with great fanfare by state and local investors including NC governor Josh Stein, who called his state a premier destination for textile innovation.

While this investment, which will add 50 new jobs, is certainly good news for North Carolina, it is also good news for the North American nonwovens market, which continues to see signs of growth. At this year’s World of Wipes (WOW) International Conference, which was held last month in Nashville, INDA director of education and technical affairs Matt O’Sickey proclaimed that, overall, the “nonwoven pie” in North America is growing, outpacing both GDP and population growth. A lot of this is driven by transportation applications like acoustics and battery separator applications but absorbent hygiene and wipes are also seeing growth.

Growth in wipes, which is being driven by added value applications in developed areas like North America as well as the need for non-plastic applications, were factors that led to Kruger’s recent decision to invest in North America. In May, Kruger announced it would invest more than $300 million in a Wetlace nonwovens manufacturing line in Quebec, Canada. Kruger’s first foray into nonwovens, the site will mainly produce sustainable wipes, which the company has targeted as part of its focus on growing in “essential markets.”

Not only are wipes sales growing in North America, their value proposition is expanding as consumers seek expanded benefits from their wipes products. In personal care applications, it is no longer enough for a product to offer a solution to a problem but they must also offer tangible benefits, like skin health or microbiome improvements, Euromonitor’s Liying Qian told WOW attendees. Wipes now incorporate sophisticated, active ingredients such as prebiotic or probiotic formulas that support the skin microbiome and barrier repair. Other formulations include Pro-vitamin B5 for hydration, as well as antioxidants and vitamins that offer protective, anti-aging benefits rather than just surface cleaning.

As North America welcomes these two nonwovens investments, they also serve as a reminder that, given today’s global economic challenges, prioritizing local production is more important than ever. Supporting these investments will go a long way in strengthening the North American supply chain. 

As always, we appreciate your comments.

Cottano Vlieswerk GmbH is a long-established textile manufacturer with more than 50 years of experience in nonwovens production. The company’s roots date back to 1972, when it was founded in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, Germany, as the publicly owned enterprise VEB Cottana Mühlhausen within the former GDR. At that time, the facility operated as part of a cotton combine serving the broader needs of the state economy.

Following German reunification, entrepreneur Dieter Perick acquired the company and transformed it into Cottano Vlieswerk GmbH in 1992. This transition marked the beginning of an entrepreneurial era characterized by technological investment and a strong focus on innovation in nonwovens. A major milestone came in 2008 with the acquisition of VTT Vliestextilien GmbH, strengthening Cottano’s capabilities in stitchbond and stitchable nonwovens. In December 2024, the affiliated company was rebranded as Cottano Vliestex GmbH, consolidating both entities under a unified “Cottano” brand.

In July 2023, Cottano entered a new chapter following a change in ownership. Since then, the company has undergone a deliberate internal realignment—strategically, operationally and culturally. “With a renewed mindset, sharpened focus and strong commitment to innovation and change, Cottano has built a solid foundation internally and is now actively re-engaging with the market to signal: Cottano is back—with clarity, ambition and forward momentum,” says Nico Miebach, managing director.

Today, Cottano operates from its headquarters in Mühlhausen, Germany, supported by an integrated production network that reflects its vertically aligned structure and strong regional roots.

Cottano specializes in drylaid nonwoven technologies, with a strong focus on stitchbond (Malivlies/Maliwatt) processes developed and expanded over decades of expertise.

While rooted in long-standing technological know-how, the company is now combining this heritage with a renewed innovation mindset established since 2023. Production systems—many of which trace their origins back to advanced machinery concepts developed in the GDR—have been continuously modernized to meet today’s quality, performance and sustainability standards, Miebach explains.

Cottano serves a diverse portfolio of end-use markets, including automotive and technical textiles; construction and insulation materials; cleantech; industrial applications; and packaging and protective solutions.

According to Miebach, these markets continue to show resilient performance, particularly in technical and industrial segments where nonwovens are valued for their durability, functionality and cost-effectiveness. “While global economic fluctuations impact demand cycles across industries, the long-term outlook for nonwovens remains strong due to increasing substitution of traditional materials and growing demand for lightweight, efficient solutions,” he says.

Cottano is actively strengthening its footprint by expanding partnerships and distribution channels across Europe and beyond. Following the internal transformation phase since July 2023, the company is now deliberately increasing its external visibility and market engagement. The unified branding under “Cottano” enhances visibility in global markets and simplifies market access for customers.

The company is also focusing on application-driven innovation, enabling entry into new sectors where technical nonwovens can replace conventional materials. “Strategic collaborations with customers, suppliers and research institutes for ensuring customer-specific development projects play a key role in this growth strategy,” Miebach says.

Cottano believes that now is an excellent time to be active in this industry. “The ongoing shift toward lightweight materials, circular economy models and sustainable product design creates significant opportunities for companies with strong technical know-how and a flexible, customer-oriented approach,” he explains. “However, we do see the risk of dependence ranging from individual major players to specific regions. We consider a certain degree of resilience to be essential at this time in order to be able to respond flexibly to changing market conditions. With its long history, integrated structure and continuous investment in innovation, Cottano is well-positioned to contribute to and benefit from these developments.”

A Growing Market Built on Imported Materials

Africa is one of the fastest-growing markets for absorbent hygiene products in the world, yet the materials that make these products possible—from nonwoven fabrics to superabsorbent polymers—are still largely imported. This dependence reflects a broader structural gap. While demand for diapers, sanitary protection, adult incontinence products and wet wipes is expanding rapidly across the continent, the upstream materials ecosystem required to support local manufacturing remains underdeveloped. However, that landscape is beginning to change. Across Africa, new refining, petrochemical and polymer production platforms are emerging, creating the conditions for a new generation of downstream industries. At a time when global manufacturers are increasingly rethinking supply chains and regional production, this shift presents a strategic opportunity. For the nonwovens sector, this raises an important question: could Africa begin building integrated hygiene materials ecosystems capable of supplying its own growing markets?

In other regions of the world, the growth of the nonwovens and hygiene industries has often been closely tied to the development of integrated petrochemical and polymer ecosystems. In North America, Europe and parts of Asia, proximity between feedstock producers, polymer manufacturers, nonwoven fabric producers and hygiene product converters helped create powerful industrial clusters over several decades. 

Several structural shifts are beginning to reshape Africa’s industrial landscape. Across parts of the continent, new refining, petrochemical and polymer production platforms are emerging, while regional manufacturing zones and logistics corridors are expanding. At the same time, Africa’s rapidly growing population and urbanization are driving sustained demand for absorbent hygiene products. These dynamics are creating the early foundations of a materials ecosystem that did not exist before. For the nonwovens industry, this raises an important strategic possibility: rather than relying indefinitely on imported materials, Africa could begin developing its own regional supply chains for hygiene production.

The Hygiene Materials Park Concept  

One possible framework for developing such supply chains is the concept of a Hygiene Materials Park (HMP) – an integrated industrial cluster that brings together polymer feedstocks, nonwoven manufacturing and hygiene product converting within a single location.

In a traditional supply chain, different components of hygiene product manufacturing may be located across multiple regions or continents. Superabsorbent polymers may be produced in one region, nonwoven fabrics in another, and final converting operations in a third. This fragmentation increases logistics costs, lengthens supply chains and creates vulnerabilities during periods of disruption.

The HMP model addresses this challenge by co-locating the major elements of the value chain: petrochemical feedstocks and polymer production, superabsorbent polymer manufacturing, spunbond and meltblown nonwoven lines, and hygiene product converting (diapers, sanitary pads and adult care products).

By integrating these activities within a single industrial ecosystem, the model creates efficiencies across the supply chain while reducing dependence on long-distance imports.

For emerging markets, this approach offers an opportunity to design integrated industrial ecosystems from the outset rather than replicating fragmented supply chains developed elsewhere. For machinery suppliers, such ecosystems could represent the next wave of spunbond, meltblown and hygiene converting capacity as emerging markets expand local manufacturing.

Africa’s Expanding Industrial Foundations

Africa’s ability to develop such ecosystems depends on several underlying structural trends that are now beginning to align.

First, the continent is seeing the emergence of new refining, petrochemical and polymer production capacity. These developments provide the upstream feedstocks required for plastics, fibers and superabsorbent materials – inputs that historically had to be imported in large quantities.

Second, industrial infrastructure is expanding rapidly. Across the continent, export processing zones, industrial parks and logistics hubs are being developed to attract manufacturing investment. Previously, in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria, such projects were mainly government-led.  In more recent times, these hubs are more public-private partnerships driven and some are even wholly private-led. One example is the industrial park platform developed by ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms, which has established integrated industrial zones in several African countries designed to host manufacturing value chains rather than individual factories. 

These zones offer several advantages: modern infrastructure, streamlined regulatory environments, proximity to ports and logistics corridors, access to power and utilities required for industrial production. Such developments create the physical platforms on which integrated materials ecosystems could be built. If such ecosystems begin to take shape, they could eventually support the installation of large-scale nonwoven manufacturing capacity serving Africa’s rapidly expanding hygiene markets.

Nigeria: A Glimpse of Local Manufacturing

“Nigeria provides a useful illustration of how Africa’s hygiene manufacturing sector is evolving. Over the past decade, several leading diaper brands have established local production within export processing zones and industrial clusters.”

Companies and brands such as Hayat Kimya, Wemy Industries, Sunda and Kiss Kids manufacture diapers locally for the Nigerian market and, increasingly, for neighboring countries.

Local production offers clear advantages: reduced import costs, faster supply chains and better alignment with local consumer demand. However, even where converting operations are localized, most of the core materials used in production – including nonwoven fabrics and superabsorbent polymers – continue to be imported from outside the continent. This highlights the next stage of development: building the upstream materials ecosystem that supports these factories.

Why Integrated Ecosystems Matter

The global hygiene industry has grown dramatically over the past three decades, driven by population growth, rising incomes and increasing awareness of hygiene and health. Yet the materials supply chains underpinning this growth remain concentrated in a relatively small number of regions.

For Africa, developing integrated hygiene materials ecosystems could deliver several important benefits.

Supply Chain Resilience

Recent global disruptions – from pandemic-related supply shocks to freight volatility – have highlighted the vulnerability of long supply chains. Regional materials production could significantly reduce exposure to these disruptions.

Industrial Development

The hygiene materials value chain spans multiple industrial sectors, including petrochemicals, polymers, nonwovens manufacturing and consumer product converting. Developing these interconnected industries could create thousands of skilled manufacturing jobs.

Economic Efficiency

Shorter supply chains reduce transportation costs and working capital requirements while improving responsiveness to market demand.

Export Potential

Africa’s regional markets remain largely underserved. Integrated manufacturing platforms could supply not only domestic markets but also neighboring countries across regional trade blocs.

Africa’s Opportunity to Leapfrog

In many ways, Africa’s relative lack of legacy infrastructure may create an advantage. Instead of replicating older, fragmented supply chains, new investments could be structured around integrated ecosystems from the outset.

This approach mirrors how industrial clusters have developed in other sectors. Automotive manufacturing, semiconductor production and petrochemical industries have all benefited from geographically concentrated ecosystems where suppliers, manufacturers and logistics infrastructure are closely linked.

For the hygiene sector, the HMP concept represents a similar model adapted to the materials and manufacturing needs of absorbent hygiene products.

The Role of Investors and Industry Partners

Developing integrated hygiene materials ecosystems will require collaboration among multiple industry stakeholders.

Petrochemical producers provide the upstream feedstocks and polymers required for materials production. Machinery suppliers bring the advanced manufacturing technologies needed for nonwoven fabrics and hygiene converting. Consumer product companies provide market demand and distribution networks. And investors play a critical role in financing large-scale industrial infrastructure.

For investors seeking long-term opportunities in emerging markets, the development of regional hygiene materials ecosystems represents a potentially attractive industrial platform. These projects combine strong demographic demand with opportunities for supply chain integration and industrial development.  Several industry participants are already exploring how integrated hygiene materials ecosystems could be developed in parts of Africa, suggesting the concept may move from discussion to implementation sooner than many expect.  As these conversations evolve, the nonwovens industry has an opportunity to play a central role in shaping the next phase of hygiene manufacturing on the continent.

Diapers are the largest application for nonwoven fabrics in Japan. They account for approximately one-third of the total demand for nonwoven fabrics. For this reason, trends in diaper production have a significant impact on nonwoven fabric production. Table 1 shows the production volumes of baby diapers and adult diapers in Japan.

Japanese diaper production peaked at 905,223 tons in 2017 but has been on a steady decline ever since. In 2025, production volume was 682,002 tons, a decrease of 2.2%. However, baby care items are declining, while adult items are steadily increasing. The market for baby diapers has shrunk from 525,800 tons in 2017 to 231,947 tons in 2025, falling to less than half its previous size. However, the production volume of adult diapers has increased from 379,423 tons in 2017 to 450,055 tons in 2025. In 2020, production for adults exceeded that for babies for the first time. 

While the declining birthrate in Japan is often cited as the main factor behind the drop in baby product production, the decline in exports has had an even greater impact. Although Japan used to export large quantities of baby diapers, exports began to decline in 2018 and are now less than one-third of their peak level. Although production for adult diapers is increasing, it is not enough to offset the decline in production of baby diapers.

Demand for nonwoven fabrics is also declining in line with the drop in diaper production. In 2017, demand for nonwoven fabrics totaled 197,200 tons, comprising 114,300 tons for baby diapers and 82,900 tons for adult diapers. In 2025, production totaled 150,600 tons, comprising 51,000 tons of baby products and 99,600 tons of adult products. While demand for thermal bonded nonwovens has declined only slightly, demand for spunbonded nonwovens and SMS/SMMS has fallen sharply. 

Total domestic demand for nonwoven fabrics in Japan has declined from 528,541 tons in 2017 to 446,107 tons in 2025. More than 50% of this decline is attributable to shrinking demand for diapers, which have a significant impact on domestic demand for nonwoven fabrics.

Troubles in the diaper market have led to challenges in the Japanese nonwovens industry. In November, Mitsui Chemicals Asahi Life Materials said it would restructure its nonwovens business in response to shrinking demand for diapers in Japan. The company, which was formed in 2023 through a combination of Mitsui Chemicals and Asahi Kasei, is one of Japan’s largest nonwovens producers.

The restructuring effort includes the closure of two production lines in Japan. Following these closures, the company will import materials for the domestic market from its two subsidiaries in Thailand, where it makes a reported 77,000 tons of polypropylene spunbond nonwovens per year. The company’s Japanese operations made 55,000 tons of polypropylene spunbond nonwovens per year as well as PET and nylon spunbond nonwovens; it is unclear how much of this capacity will be impacted by the line closures.

Other Japanese companies that have ceased production or reduced capacity include Unitika, which exited the textiles business after efforts to relocate much of its production to southeast Asia, where it established an operation in Thailand in 2014, had not proven effective.  Another Japanese producer, JNC Fibers, which is specialized in thermal bonded nonwovens for baby diaper applications, ceased production at its Japanese facility and sold one of its two Chinese sites to a local company, reducing its nonwovens output in Asia in two separate actions. The company attributed weakening demand within the baby diaper market to both decisions. JNC, which has been active in the Asian nonwovens industry since 1995, will continue to produce thermal bonded materials at its remaining Chinese site as well as in Rayong, Thailand.
