The nonwoven geotextile market was valued at USD 6.12 billion in 2020 and is projected to surpass USD 9 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. Rising awareness regarding the properties of geotextile is anticipated to drive the nonwoven geotextiles market during the forecast period.
Nonwoven geotextile have the ability to filter and protect. They increase soil stabilization and ground support. Geotextiles fibers have high strength, which allows for maximum slope support stabilization and erosion control of soil. The nonwoven geotextile are used in water filtration industry, agricultural industry, building and pavement construction industry, environmental engineering industry, drainage systems industry, railroads industry, water works industry, ocean shore, breakwaters industry, and land reclamation industry.
Market Dynamics:
- The demand for nonwoven geotextiles is increasing in various industries due to rising awareness regarding its properties such as separation, reinforcement, and filtration.
- Growing awareness about nonwoven geotextile products and its benefits is expected to propels the market.
- High demand for nonwoven geotextiles in medical applications for various purposes such as medical packaging, surgical gowns, and drapes fuels the market.
- Nonwoven geotextiles are flexible, textile such as polymer fabrics of controlled permeability; therefore, they are widely used in construction of drainage systems, road construction, harbor works, ditches, and underneath entrance. growing demand of nonwoven geotextile from industrial sectors drives the market.
- Nonwoven geotextile are manufactured using synthetic fibers such as polyester, polythene, and natural fibers such as jute fiber and Ramie. Changes in the demand and supply of these raw materials have a significant hampering the market.
- The price of nonwoven geotextile is higher than that of other materials. Fluctuation in the price of raw materials affects the operating margin of manufacturers, thus impeding the nonwoven geotextile market.
- Bio-based geotextiles are made from various biological materials such as agricultural products and agricultural waste. Maize-based PLA geotextiles and straw and coconut erosion mats are example of biobased geotextiles. Jute is widely consumed material in the geotextile, as they have high moisture absorbing capacity, excellent drapability, and high initial tensile strength. These characteristics create significant opportunities in the nonwoven geotextile market.
Impact of Covid-19
Many countries are under partial or complete lockdown and geotextile factories have shut down due to the lack of labor causing interruption in the production of geotextile fibers due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The demand for nonwoven geotextile products has decreased. Shift toward localization across the countries such as India and China is expected to propel nonwoven geotextile market in the next few years.

Nonwoven Geotextile Market Segment Insights:
Based on the material type, the market is segmented into polypropylene, polyester, and polythene. The polythene segment is projected to grow at a significant pace due to its UV resistance and thermal capabilities. Polythene products are available at low prices, and they offer high resistance to heat, which in turn, drives its demand in the construction sector.
On the basis of applications, the nonwoven geotextile market is classified as road construction, erosion prevention, and drainage system. The erosion prevention segment is projected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period, as it enables vegetation and germination, thus making it ideal for agriculture and soil applications. Moreover, it is easy to install and help in soil retention. This cost effective textile is projected to increase its utilization in railways, motorways, road construction, and canals.
In terms of regions, the global nonwoven geotextile market is fragmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominates the global market due to infrastructural growth in the countries such as China and India, which has led to the increase in use of geotextile in drainage systems. Geotextiles are becoming anintegral part of modern infrastructural development due to their advantages, which in turn, fuel the market in the region.
The market in the Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period due to the product’s extensive use, as it is available at a low price. The geotextile product is used in road construction to provide tensile strength to the ground and increase water permeability of constructed roads.
