The application of filament geotextile in foreign countries has been started as early as 1960s. The consumption of Geotextile in the United States is larger than that in the world. In the early 1990s, its annual consumption of geotextile was more than 300 million m2, and in recent years, the consumption reached 700 million m2.

In recent years, the annual consumption of European filament geotextiles geotextile manufacturers in China is about 400 million m2. Spunbonded nonwovens account for about 60% of nonwoven geotextiles. The application of Geotextiles in Japan has increased significantly since the mid-1990s.

In Japan, spunbonded nonwovens are more widely used, accounting for about 60% of the total nonwovens, and PET spunbonded fabrics are the main ones.

China's filament geotextile started in the early 1980s, but the amount was very little at that time, it was only an experimental application.

It was not until the catastrophic flood in 1998 that the government paid attention to the application of filament geotextile in the design specifications by the construction department, and the relevant standards were formulated. Only then did the geotextile manufacturers in China really get attention and development.

At present, the consumption of geotextile manufacturers in China has exceeded 300 million m2, and the proportion of nonwoven geotextile in the total amount has reached about 40%. China's civil engineering construction has a huge potential market, and its potential is no less than 700-800 million m2 of that in the United States.

Experts estimate that China's geotextiles will continue to grow at double-digit rate in the next 15 years, among which the filament geotextile will grow faster.

China plans to invest a lot in water conservancy, electric power, transportation, environmental protection, river management and other projects, including water conservancy construction, South-to-North Water Diversion Project, electric power investment, highway and railway construction, environmental engineering construction, as well as port, airport, garbage treatment, river, lake and sea treatment, sand control and other projects, with an investment of more than one trillion yuan.

In the next 10 years or more, China will have more infrastructure projects to build, and the demand for geotextiles will be more and more. China will become a larger marketing market for geosynthetics such as filament geotextiles in the world.
