EDANA released its overview of 2025 nonwovens production in Greater Europe on April 7, 2026. The association reports output of 2.919 million tonnes, a decline of about 2.2 percent from 2024.
Its public summary records a 2.7 percent decline in hygiene-market volume, mainly driven by developments in baby diapers. Spunmelt output fell 3.3 percent, while drylaid output was nearly stable at minus 0.7 percent.
These are regional nonwoven-industry statistics, not adult-incontinence sales figures. Production in tonnes also differs from fabric area: changes in material weight per square metre can affect how the two measures move.
