The Latin American market as a continent of opportunities and Brazil's future in the automotive sector, geosynthetics, agricultural, shoes, disposable and consumption products is promising. The internationalization of the nonwovens market and the local impact, besides the growing Asian presence and the main challenges that this may bring, will also be on the agenda.

To further illustrate the technology applied to the technical textiles and nonwovens, an overview will be presented on nanotechnology and its reality in South America will be discussed. The congress visitors will also be informed of new production methods, which are changing the panorama in this area of high performance fibers development, recycling and environment.

Messe Frankfurt counts on Noûs Consulting partnership to formulate the scope of the symposium. According to Leandro Fraga, partner of the consultancy, Latin America is a continent of countries in ascension, as the economy grows and as the modernization of industrial processes continues to develop, the product evolution and the consumer market intensifies the use of technical textiles and nonwovens. "As the technological development increases the need for performance, the use of components and high performance technical materials grows naturally", said Fraga.

Technical fabrics are products that have base fibers and threads in the final product that are used specifically for technical and practical ends and not purely aesthetic, such as threads, monofilaments, woven, meshes, ribbons, ropes, strings, belts, cables, nets, coated and covered textile materials and textile reinforcements.
