Segment Insights on the Automotive Nonwoven Market:
The global automotive nonwoven market is segmented based on vehicle category type, material type, application type, formation type, and region.
Based on vehicle type - The automotive nonwoven market is segmented into automotive (ICE, BEV, and Hybrid), recreational vehicles, and other vehicles. Nonwovens Automotive will continue to dominate the automotive nonwoven market with high production levels, versatile applications, and governmental compliances. The increasing use of EVs and hybrids and the demand for lighter, lower-cost, and greener materials are propelling nonwoven demand. Nonwovens are important in thermal, acoustic, and battery insulation, which makes vehicles more efficient and comfortable. Their fiber structure contributes to them being extremely effective sound absorbers, dampening noise and vibrations for a quieter ride, particularly in EVs, where the lack of an internal combustion engine further increases the demand for sound-dampening technology.
Based on the material type – The market is segmented into polyester, polypropylene, glass fiber, natural fiber, and other materials. Polyester is expected to remain dominant for the automotive nonwoven market during the forecast period. Polyester is mostly used in carpets, headliners, packaged trays, and trunks. It offers high strength, durability, comfort, aesthetic appeal, and low moisture absorption. Polyester fabrics can be engineered to have specific properties like softness, moisture-wicking, and breathability, enhancing the overall comfort and feel of the vehicle interior.
Based on the application type - The market is segmented into carpet, insulation, trunk, hood liner, headliner, seating, packaged tray, door panel, and other applications. Carpet is expected to hold the largest share of the automotive nonwoven market during the forecast period. Nonwovens provide tremendous floor protection, underlayment or padding, heat, and sound insulation in flooring applications in the automotive industry. An average car uses approximately 25-30 square meters of nonwoven fabrics, out of which ~35-40% is associated with carpets. Developments such as Autoneum's Tune-It needle-punch carpets provide optimal noise protection with a weight advantage of up to 25% over regular needle-punch carpets. They also promote lower fuel consumption and emissions.
Based on the formation type - The market is segmented into spunlaid, drylaid, and other formations. Drylaid is likely to dominate the market of automotive nonwoven during the forecast period. Drylaid nonwovens can be produced using various types of reinforced fibers, such as synthetic fibers (e.g., fiberglass, polyester fiber), natural fibers (e.g., flax, wool), or a blend of different fibers. They offer a combination of strength, durability, dimensional stability, and acoustic properties that make them suitable for various automotive interior applications, such as trunk liners, headliners, and door panels.

US-China trade talks to open in London as new disputes emerge
US-China trade talks in London this week are expected to take up a series of fresh disputes that have buffeted relations, threatening a fragile truce over tariffs. Both sides agreed in Geneva last month to a 90-day suspension of most of the 100%-plus tariffs they had imposed on each other in an escalating trade war that had sparked fears of recession. Since then, the US and China have exchanged angry words over advanced semiconductors that power artificial intelligence, 'rare earths' that are vital to carmakers and other industries, and visas for Chinese students at American universities. Advertisement 3 President Trump spoke at length with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by phone last Thursday in an attempt to put relations back on track. REUTERS President Trump spoke at length with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by phone last Thursday in an attempt to put relations back on track. Trump announced on social media the next day that trade talks would be held on Monday in London. The latest frictions began just a day after the May 12 announcement of the Geneva agreement to 'pause' tariffs for 90 days. Advertisement The US Commerce Department issued guidance saying the use of Ascend AI chips from Huawei, a leading Chinese tech company, could violate US export controls. That's because the chips were likely developed with American technology despite restrictions on its export to China, the guidance said. The Chinese government wasn't pleased. One of its biggest beefs in recent years has been over US moves to limit the access of Chinese companies to technology, and in particular to equipment and processes needed to produce the most advanced semiconductors. 'The Chinese side urges the US side to immediately correct its erroneous practices,' a Commerce Ministry spokesperson said. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wasn't in Geneva but will join the talks in London. Analysts say that suggests at least a willingness on the US side to hear out China's concerns on export controls. Advertisement 3 US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick will take part in the talks in London. One area where China holds the upper hand is in the mining and processing of rare earths. They are crucial for not only autos but also a range of other products from robots to military equipment. The Chinese government started requiring producers to obtain a license to export seven rare earth elements in April. Resulting shortages sent automakers worldwide into a tizzy. As stockpiles ran down, some worried they would have to halt production. Trump, without mentioning rare earths specifically, took to social media to attack China. Advertisement 'The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US,' Trump posted on May 30. 3 China dominates the mining and processing of rare earth minerals. REUTERS The Chinese government indicated Saturday that it is addressing the concerns, which have come from European companies as well. A Commerce Ministry statement said it had granted some approvals and 'will continue to strengthen the approval of applications that comply with regulations.' The scramble to resolve the rare earth issue shows that China has a strong card to play if it wants to strike back against tariffs or other measures. Student visas don't normally figure in trade talks, but a US announcement that it would begin revoking the visas of some Chinese students has emerged as another thorn in the relationship. China's Commerce Ministry raised the issue when asked last week about the accusation that it had violated the consensus reached in Geneva. It replied that the US had undermined the agreement by issuing export control guidelines for AI chips, stopping the sale of chip design software to China and saying it would revoke Chinese student visas.

Iran says no sanctions relief in US nuclear proposal
Iran's parliament speaker said on Sunday that the latest US proposal for a nuclear deal does not include the lifting of sanctions, state media reported as negotiations appeared to have hit a roadblock. The two foes have held five rounds of Omani-mediated talks since April, seeking to replace a landmark agreement between Tehran and world powers that set restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief, before US President Donald Trump abandoned the accord in 2018 during his first term. In a video aired on Iranian state TV, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that "the US plan does not even mention the lifting of sanctions". He called it a sign of dishonesty, accusing the Americans of seeking to impose a "unilateral" agreement that Tehran would not accept. "The delusional US president should know better and change his approach if he is really looking for a deal," Ghalibaf said. On May 31, after the fifth round of talks, Iran said it had received "elements" of a US proposal, with officials later taking issue with "ambiguities" in the draft text. The US and its Western allies have long accused the Islamic republic of seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, a charge Iran has consistently denied, insisting that its atomic programme was solely for peaceful purposes. Key issues in the negotiations have been the removal of biting economic sanctions and uranium enrichment. Tehran says it has the right to enrich uranium under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, while the Trump administration has called any Iranian enrichment a "red line". Trump, who has revived his "maximum pressure" campaign of sanctions on Iran since taking office in January, has repeatedly said it will not be allowed any uranium enrichment under a potential deal. On Tuesday, Iran's top negotiator, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, said the country "will not ask anyone for permission to continue enriching uranium". - IAEA meeting - According to the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state in the world that enriches uranium up to 60 percent -- close to the 90 percent threshold needed for a nuclear warhead. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected the latest US proposal and said enrichment was "key" to Iran's nuclear programme. The IAEA Board of Governors is scheduled to meet in Vienna starting Monday and discuss Iran's nuclear activities. On Sunday the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran warned it could reduce its level of cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog if it adopts a resolution against it. "Certainly, the IAEA should not expect the Islamic Republic of Iran to continue its broad and friendly cooperation," the Iranian agency's spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi told state TV. Araghchi on Friday accused European powers of "opting for malign action against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors", warning on X that "Iran will react strongly against any violation of its rights". A quarterly report from the IAEA issued last week cited a "general lack of cooperation" from Iran and raised concerns over undeclared nuclear material. Tehran has rejected the report as politically motivated and based on "forged documents" it said had been provided by its arch foe Israel. pdm/ami/dcp
