The first session of the programme was devoted to market perspective of disposable nonwoven products and various accessories used in their making.
Mr. Samir Gupta, Managing Director, BCH outlined the “Market Perspective in India”. “…because of the increasing awareness for health and hygiene among the expanding middle class and significant proportion of females and babies to the total population, its right time for Indian players to invest in this segment as this industry has only 1% market penetration as against 98% in developed countries. “
“Due to competitive labor cost and latent domestic demand, the multinational companies can look up to India as an outsourcing base and can even relocate their production bases.”
He informed that the Indian Technical Textile Market is likely to touch US$ 8 billion by 2007-08 from present level of US$ 4 billion with the global turnover of the Technical Textile Industry estimated at US$ 107 billion.
Prof. N.K. Sharma, Nonwoven Consultant, AMRIT SRL from Italy educated the attendees with various types of disposable products and their functions. He categorized the products into personal hygiene and medical products and also briefed about the various materials and processes used in the manufacture of disposables.
He laid stress on the various categories available in baby and adult diapers and the key elements, which are required in the satisfactory performance of baby diapers. “Nice design, proper raw material and equipment technology are the key to success,” he advised.
