The global composite melt-blown filtration material market size was USD 510.5 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 922.78 million by 2031, CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period.
Composite melt-blown filtration material is a polymer composite made using blowing technology from polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate. Melt-blown nonwovens have small diameter fibers that comprise an excellent filtration property, sorption capacity, and thermal insulation. The composite melt-blown process is a manufacturing system that is non-woven in nature, where there is a direct conversion of polymer into continuous filaments. Therefore, continuous filaments are converted into a randomly placed nonwoven fabric that is integrated with continuous filaments.
Composite melt-blown filtration material finds its applications in the filtration industry due to its exceptional properties. The rising demand for such material is due to the increasing applications of nonwoven fabrics for personal hygiene. It is used in industries like hygiene, filtration, medical, electrical & electronics, insulation equipment, and automotive. It is highly used for air and water filtration business due to its dirt-holding capabilities.
COVID-19 Impact: Supply Chain Disruption and Halt on Manufacturing Operations to Impede Market Growth
The outbreak of COVID-19 is already being felt around the world, and the global composite melt-blown filtration material market is considerably impacted. Several countries went into lockdown. With the sudden pandemic, all the manufacturers had to shut down their operations. Manufacturing of the material was impacted due to limited capacities of production and halting of supply chains. As the main application of melt-blown filtration material comes from the filtration industry, the pandemic had a significant impact on demand for composite melt-blown filtration due to the high impact on consumers about personal hygiene. The demand for air cleaners and masks arose which led to a sharp rise in the demand for melt-blown nonwovens. The swift surge in demand for polypropylene melt-blown masks during the pandemic has also propelled the growth for the market.

DRIVING FACTORS
"Filtration Advantages of Composite Melt-Blown Nonwovens to Drive Demand"
The global composite melt-blown filtration material market growth is owed to filtration benefits associated with it. It is largely used in filtration applications used in the air and water filtration business. Due to the technology used for dirt-holding properties with fiber size spanning from 1-10 diameter. Polypropylene which is used in composite melt-blown is preferred in material filtration applications. Melt-blown polypropylene is also used as dressing materials in the healthcare industry also. They are also widely used in automotive air conditioning filters, vacuum cleaner filters, and air purifiers that are required to hold dirt and filter air. They are preferred over dual textures due to the rising need for filters in medical and other industries as they have extended time usage, waterproof, anti-fog, and non-irritation.
"Rising Need for Hygiene to Inflate Demand"
The COVID-19 pandemic engulfed the population into taking up hygiene seriously. There has been penetration in the market due to the rising need for proper hygiene and hygienic products. Even after the pandemic, people are now emphasizing more on their personal safety, which has enabled the preference and demand for air filters, face masks, and personal protective equipment. It has given a rise in demand for air filters due to decreasing air quality and the need to breathe quality air. It is continuously being used in products that are disposable and reusable in nature such as surgical gowns, drapes, gloves, etc. which has propelled the growth of the market.
RESTRAINING FACTORS
"Heavy Investments Required in Technology to Decline Market Demand"
Although there are many advantages of melt-blown material to propel market growth, there are some factors that can hamper the market growth. The production of composite melt-blown filtration material is very much capital demanding and requires a lot of technology which can act as a barrier to market growth. In addition to this, to have enhanced or automated production, it also requires heavy investments which can also hinder the market growth.
