Njengoko ukusasazeka kobhubhane we-Covid-19 kusaqhubeka kwihlabathi liphela, imfuno yeewipes—ingakumbi ii-disinfecting kunye nee-sanitizing wipes zezandla—ihlala iphezulu, nto leyo ebangele imfuno ephezulu yezinto ezizenzayo ezifana nee-spunlace nonwovens.
Ii-Spunlace okanye ii-nonwovens ezifakwe kwi-hydroentangled kwiiwipes zisebenzise inani eliqikelelweyo leetoni ezingama-877,700 zezinto eziphathekayo kwihlabathi liphela ngo-2020. Oku kunyuke ukusuka kwiitoni ezingama-777,700 ngo-2019, ngokutsho kwedatha yamva nje evela kwingxelo yemarike yakwaSmithers – Ikamva lee-Global Nonwoven Wipes ukuya ku-2025.
Ixabiso lilonke (ngamaxabiso angaguqukiyo) linyuke ukusuka kwi-$11.71 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2019, laya kwi-$13.08 yeebhiliyoni ngo-2020. Ngokutsho kukaSmithers, uhlobo lobhubhane we-Covid-19 luthetha ukuba nokuba ii-nonwovens wipes bezithathwa njengokuthengwa okukhethiweyo kwiibhajethi zasekhaya, ziya kuthathwa njengezibalulekileyo. Ngenxa yoko, iiSmithers ziqikelela ukukhula kwexesha elizayo kwe-8.8% unyaka nonyaka (ngomthamo). Oku kuya kunyusa ukusetyenziswa kwehlabathi ukuya kwiitoni eziyi-1.28 zeebhiliyoni ngo-2025, ezinexabiso le-$18.1 yeebhiliyoni.
“Impembelelo yeCovid-19 inciphise ukhuphiswano phakathi kwabavelisi abasebenzisa i-spunlaced ngendlela efanayo naleyo iyenzileyo kwamanye amaqonga etekhnoloji angengowoluki,” utshilo uDavid Price, iqabane, iPrice Hanna Consultants. “Imfuno ephezulu ye-spunlaced nonwoluki substrates phakathi kwazo zonke iimarike ze-wipe ibikho ukususela phakathi kwe-Q1 ka-2020. Oku bekuyinyani ngakumbi kwii-disinfectant wipes kodwa kukwakho nakwii-baby kunye nee-personal care wipes.”
UPrice uthi imigca yemveliso eneentambo ezidityanisiweyo kwihlabathi liphela ibisebenza ngokupheleleyo ukusukela kwikota yesibini ka-2020. “Silindele ukusetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo kweeasethi ezingezizo ezolukiweyo ezidityanisiweyo ngo-2021 kwaye mhlawumbi ukuya kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-2022 ngenxa yeziphumo zeCovid-19.”
