Various infrastructure projects, along with increasing acceptance of nonwoven-based geotextiles, are some of the factors helping drive growth for this market around the globe. With nonwovens, the result is consistent performance and quality, and products that retain their strength over decades.
INDA, the association of the nonwoven fabrics industry, tracked the geotextiles market in a report, the North American Nonwovens Industry Outlook, 2016-2021. In its reporting of the geosynthetics category, INDA divides geosynthetics into two markets: civil engineering and agriculture. The civil engineering products are primarily those made from geotextiles, while the agriculture products tend to be of a similar nature and nonwoven manufacturing process as geotextiles, the association says.
According to data in the report, the geosynthetics markets increased 2% annually in tonnage from 2011 through to 2016 and 1.8% annually in square meters.
Both categories have positive growth through the forecast period, with the civil engineering market having the potential for a significant upside. Overall, the geosynthetics ma
