Can China retain its lead in US nonwoven fabric trade amid tariffs?
China leads in exports of nonwoven fabrics exceeding 25 g/m² to the US, but rising tariffs (20 per cent in March 2025) are increasing costs, making its products less competitive. Taiwan, Thailand, Türkiye, and Germany focus on premium or niche markets with higher prices. While China retains a logistics edge, competitors with lower tariffs may gain market share.
