Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mm24t3/global_synthetic) has announced the addition of the "Global Synthetic Fibers Market 2015-2019" report to their offering. The Global Synthetic Fibers market to grow at a CAGR of 10.39% over the period 2014-2019 Synthetic fibers are man-made materials that are formed using chemicals that have superior properties as compared to natural fibers. These fibers are created through polymerization of various chemical substances. Synthetic fibers are more durable, easy to dye, stain-resistant and lighter. These fibers are used widely in the Fashion industry for various applications because of their favourable properties. One major trend upcoming in the market is the development of green synthetic fibers. Manufacturers are developing techniques to produce green synthetic fibers, which are basically derived from a plant source rather that petrochemicals. According to the report, the most important driver of this market is an increase in the demand for light and strong materials. High-strength synthetic fibers showcase better performance in comparison with other fibers. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges confronting the market is that synthetic fibers are non-biodegradable and non-skin friendly; materials made using synthetic fibers are also difficult to recycle. The non-skin-friendly characteristics of synthetic fibers can lead to rashes and allergies for consumers through the usage of materials made from synthetic fibers.

The Non-woven Fabric market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 5.73% over the period 2014-2019. Non-woven fabrics are sheets or webbed structures that are bonded together by chemical, thermal, or mechanical processes. They are not formed by knitting or weaving. Based on type, PP non-woven fabrics can be divided into four segments: Spunbond, Staple, Meltblown, and Composite. They are used for various applications in the Hygiene, Construction, Geotextile, Filtration, and Automotive, and Others sectors. Nonwoven fabrics find wide application in the construction sector for house wraps, roofing materials, and as geotextiles. The surge in spending on infrastructure and construction in developing countries owing to economic growth and growing populations are leading to demand for exports in the Nonwoven Fabrics Market in the US. According to the report, demand for nonwoven fabric in the US is expected to increase because of growing demand for medical disposables. Increased demand for personal hygiene products because of consumer awareness, the growing aging population, and the increased incidence of medical conditions are the major factors propelling demand for disposable medical supplies. Further, the report states that volatility in the prices of raw materials is one of the challenges hindering the growth of the Nonwoven Fabrics market in the US. Since the feedstock used in the manufacture of nonwoven fabric is derived from crude oil, fluctuations in crude oil prices increase the cost of production and reduce profit margins for manufacturers. Price is a major determining factor for many end-users in the Nonwoven Fabrics market. The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
