• Hygiene and medical applications grew by 6% in 2006, reaching over 500.000 tonnes
• Polyethylene usage grew, particularly in synthetic turf, but is less than 10% of the total polyolefin textiles market
• Western Europe still accounts for most polyolefin textiles production, but the combined share of Turkey and Central Europe has risen to 26%.
The EATP executive responsible for the Market Study, Secretary General Albert Prisse, commented:
“The EATP Market Study is the only research report which gives a complete and authoritative picture of the polyolefin textiles market in Europe. This is a dynamic but challenging sector, where real market knowledge is one of the keys to competitive advantage.
“As the spokesman for the polyolefin textiles industry in Europe, EATP is proud to be able to provide its member companies with such a detailed and valuable data source.”
