Wood pulp nonwoven refers to nonwoven materials manufactured using wood pulp fibers as a primary raw material, either alone or in combination with synthetic fibers, through processes such as airlaid, wetlaid, or composite technologies. These materials are widely used in hygiene products, wipes, medical disposables, industrial wiping, and filtration applications due to their absorbency, softness, and biodegradability characteristics. From a value chain perspective, upstream activities include wood pulp supply, fiber processing, and additives such as binders and functional finishes, midstream processes focus on nonwoven web formation, bonding, drying, and converting, while downstream demand is driven by hygiene product manufacturers, medical supply companies, wipes producers, industrial users, and consumer goods brands. In 2025, the average selling price of wood pulp nonwoven materials is approximately US$1,100 per ton, with global sales volume reaching around 6,450 thousand tons. The industry maintains a gross margin of 25%–40%, supported by stable pulp supply, large-scale production, diversified end-use demand, and increasing preference for renewable fiber-based materials.

Industry analysis indicates that wood pulp nonwoven materials are increasingly favored as sustainable alternatives to synthetic nonwovens, particularly in hygiene and wipes applications. Market growth is driven by environmental regulations, brand sustainability commitments, and continued expansion of disposable medical and personal care products.
