The expansion of the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the meltblown polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric market in the coming years. The automotive industry refers to the sector involved in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The expansion of the automotive industry is attributed to rising consumer demand as increasing purchasing power and changing lifestyle preferences lead more people to purchase vehicles. Meltblown polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric is used in the automotive industry for air, fuel, and oil filtration as well as for sound insulation and lightweight interior components, improving vehicle efficiency and performance. For example, in June 2024, according to the National Centre for Social Research, a UK based independent social research institute, in 2023, car sales in the UK showed a strong rebound with new car registrations increasing by 17.9 percent compared to 2022. Therefore, the expansion of the automotive industry is driving the growth of the meltblown polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric market.

Major companies operating in the meltblown polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as bicomponent nonwoven fabric production lines to meet the rising demand for high performance, eco friendly materials in hygiene, medical, and industrial applications. These advanced production lines enable the manufacturing of nonwoven fabrics by combining two different polymers, typically a low melt PE sheath and a PP core, into a single fiber. The resulting bicomponent fibers offer improved softness, strength, and thermal bonding capabilities compared to traditional single polymer nonwovens. For example, in April 2024, HG Nonwoven Machinery Co. Ltd., a China based manufacturer specializing in nonwoven fabric machinery, introduced its latest meltblown production line capable of producing bicomponent PP, PE, and PET nonwoven fabrics. The system features a compact design, low energy consumption, and fifth generation meltblown spunbond composite technology with up to three spinning beams, enabling flexible production capacities. It supports the complete process from polymer melting to fabric formation, ensuring consistent quality, durability, and environmental efficiency.

In April 2025, Amcor plc, a Switzerland based packaging company, acquired Berry Global Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Amcor plc aims to strengthen its global leadership in packaging, enhance innovation, and deliver greater value to customers and shareholders. Berry Global Group Inc. is a United States based company that manufactures meltblown polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabrics.
