Methodology
The Future of Nonwovens to 2015 is based on both primary and secondary research. Primary research included interviews with key participants in marketing, sales, production and product development for the entire nonwovens supply chain: raw materials, nonwoven substrate, nonwoven converters, and nonwoven marketers. Key participants interviewed included personnel from nonwovens producers, private label producers, raw material suppliers, and general industry experts. Secondary research was based on an in-depth review of technical literature, reports, papers, conference proceedings, company information and other trade, business or government sources.
