Needlepunch: Engineered Performance for Demanding Applications

In FY25, the Needlepunch business delivered revenue growth with strong margins, reinforcing Welspun’s leadership in specialised FR nonwoven solutions in India, while also exploring strategic collaborations with new value-added products and customer segments.
Industry Context: Rising Demand for Technical Textiles
Technical textiles are increasingly valued for their mechanical, electrical, thermal, and durability attributes, with applications in defence, automotive, construction, and industrial sectors. Globally, the technical textiles market is projected to reach US$ 331.8 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% (2023–2032). Synthetic polymers and fibres continue to dominate the industry, though natural fibres are expected to gain traction, projected to grow by 182 BPS by 2032. This evolving material landscape positions Welspun to capitalize on both synthetic and natural fibre demand with its advanced capabilities.
With its scalable capacities, specialized technologies, and focus on high-value, sustainable solutions, Welspun Advanced Textiles has strengthened its leadership in the nonwovens and technical textiles sector. By aligning innovation with sustainability and expanding into global markets, the business is poised to capture the growing opportunities in hygiene, wellness, protective and industrial applications—solidifying its role as a future-ready leader in advanced textiles.
