COMPOSITE MELT-BLOWN FILTRATION MATERIAL MARKET OVERVIEW

The Global Composite Melt-Blown Filtration Material Market is projected to reach USD 2.67 billion in 2025, grow further to about USD 2.9 billion in 2026, and is anticipated to achieve nearly USD 4.8 billion by 2034, progressing at a CAGR of 8.58% during 2025–2034. Asia-Pacific is dominating the composite melt-blown filtration material market share in 2025.

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.

Key Findings

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.

LATEST TRENDS

Technological Advancement to Propel Demand

The trend that can impact the global composite melt-blown filtration material market is the introduction of new technology. New technologies and technological enhancements are being implemented in the manufacturing process to bring down costs. New technologies such as automation and amplification are expected to bring down the manufacturing costs making the nonwoven manufacturing process reasonable. Incorporating composite melt-blown technology is arising as the growing alternative, paving way for new opportunities for the market. This is expected to come up with new production lines which are being merged with new technologies to cater to growing demand. Renowned melt-blown nonwoven suppliers have been actively coming up with new and advanced production lines to cater to rising demand. The production lines are being expanded in terms of automation and amplification of manufacturing efficiencies.

• Technological Advancement in Production: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, over 120 new automated melt-blown production lines were installed globally between 2020–2023, significantly enhancing output efficiency and reducing labor costs.

• Rising Air and Water Filtration Demand: As per the World Health Organization (WHO), 4.2 billion people globally are exposed to poor air quality, driving demand for composite melt-blown filters in air purification and water filtration systems.

COMPOSITE MELT-BLOWN FILTRATION MATERIAL MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

According to type; the market is divided into net weight 85-90 (g/m2), net weight 90-100 (g/m2), and net weight above 100 (g/m2)

By Application

Based on the application; the market is divided into household air cleaners and car air conditioners.

Car air conditioners lead the segment of application in the global composite melt-blown filtration material market. This is due to air car conditioners being used comparatively more than air cleaners.

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.

• Filtration Advantages of Composite Melt-Blown Nonwovens: According to the American Filtration & Separations Society, over 6 million tons of air and water filtration products were produced using melt-blown materials in 2023, reflecting their superior dirt-holding capacity.

• Rising Need for Hygiene Products: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) surged to 3.4 billion units in 2022, supporting increased use of melt-blown materials in masks and medical gowns.

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.

• High Capital and Technology Investment: According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), establishing a fully automated melt-blown production line requires USD 50–200 million per facility, limiting market expansion for small and mid-size manufacturers.

• Limited Raw Material Availability: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reports that global polypropylene production in 2022 was 73 million tons, creating supply constraints for melt-blown material manufacturers.
