The mask gap is huge. What is the development trend and prospect of the mask industry in 2020?
Masks are an important "protective equipment" against new coronaviruses. With the resumption of production across the country, disposable masks and N95 masks have become hot, and masks have been looted and out of stock almost everywhere The price has soared from the original 6 Mao to 6 yuan, not only that, but also the news of Sanwu masks and fake masks came out one after another ...
To popularize, medical surgical masks are composed of a mask face and a tightening strap. The mask face is divided into three layers: inner, middle and outer:
The inner layer is skin-friendly material: ordinary hygienic gauze or non-woven fabric, the middle layer is isolation filter layer: ultra-fine polypropylene fiber melt-blown material layer, the outer layer is a special material antibacterial layer: non-woven fabric or ultra-thin polypropylene Spray the material layer.
An ordinary flat mask needs about 1g meltblown cloth + 2g spunbond cloth
A N95 mask needs about 3-4g meltblown cloth + 4g spunbond cloth
Meltblown cloth is an important material for the production of medical surgical masks and N95 masks, and is called the "heart" of the mask.

According to the statistics of China Industrial Textile Industry Association, the production process of China's nonwovens industry is dominated by spunbond. In 2018, the output of spunbond nonwovens was 2.912 million tons, accounting for 50% of the total output of nonwovens, mainly used in sanitary materials and other fields; the melt blown process accounted for only 0.9%.
It is estimated that in 2018, the domestic production of melt-blown nonwovens was 53,500 tons / year. These meltblown fabrics are not only used for masks, but also for environmental protection materials, clothing materials, battery separator materials, wipe materials, etc.
Compared with mask manufacturers, there are not many manufacturers of melt-blown non-woven fabrics. Under such circumstances, the country has already launched a number of source enterprises to put into production across the board to increase production capacity, but at present, it is not optimistic that the textile platform and the circle of textile people have a demand for melt-blown nonwoven fabrics everywhere. The speed of production in China is facing unprecedented challenges in this pneumonia!
China is the world's largest manufacturer and exporter of masks, and the annual output of masks accounts for about 50% of the world's total. According to data released by the China Textile Business Association, in 2018, China's mask production was about 4.54 billion pieces, in 2019 it exceeded 5 billion pieces, and it is expected to exceed 6 billion pieces by 2020.
