► India’s market share has been small in Asia
However, it has been observed over the period that Nonwoven Consumption Rises as GDP Per Capita Increases (Source: INDA Estimates, Ian Butler, INTC-2008)
Considering the fact that India’s GDP is expected to grow further, the consumption of Nonwovens is slated for multifold increase in India. Thus, making India a huge market for consumption of Nonwovens.
