According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Dryer Fabrics market size was valued at US$ 605 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 822 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
Global sales of Dryer Fabrics was about 28960 tons in 2025 with average price of 20.3 USD/kg. The average gross margin of the industry is between 20%-25%. Dryer Fabrics are the one of most common consumbles during the paper production.
Dryer fabrics are technical textiles used in the dryer section of a paper machine (also called dryer canvases/screens/belts). They support, carry, and stabilize the paper web during drying, help maintain proper contact with dryer cylinders (or drying elements), and manage air/steam flow through controlled permeability and surface design, improving drying efficiency and runnability while reducing breaks and surface defects.
Demand for dryer fabrics is fundamentally driven by papermakers’ push for higher speed, fewer breaks, and lower energy consumption. Across printing & writing, packaging grades, and tissue, any instability in the dryer section—tracking issues, flutter, wrinkles, sticking, or marks—can translate into costly downtime and waste, so mills are willing to pay for better runnability, web support/contact control, and optimized air/heat transfer through controlled permeability. In parallel, higher recycled-fiber usage in containerboard and premiumization in tissue (softness, bulk, absorbency) amplify requirements for fabric surface design, cleanliness, and process fit (Yankee and TAD).
The toughest challenge is balancing durability, processability, and repeatable performance. Dryer fabrics must maintain dimensional stability and lifetime under hot, humid conditions with tension fluctuations, chemical cleaning, and contaminants (pitch/stickies), while also delivering low marking risk, uniform permeability, and reliable seams—any weakness can quickly show up as defects or breaks. At the same time, mills continuously push for cost and lead-time reductions, while fabrics remain multi-step, know-how-intensive products (weaving, heat-setting, seaming, testing, and on-site support), making batch-to-batch consistency and effect replication difficult. Sustainability and compliance expectations around materials, coatings/auxiliaries, and recyclability are also rising.
Dryer fabrics is moving toward higher performance, tighter controllability, and more service- and data-driven offerings. On the product side, specialization for high-speed machines and advanced drying concepts is increasing—more uniform high-permeability designs, contamination-resistant/easy-clean surfaces, low-marking structures, and continued innovation in structured drying belts (e.g., TAD belts), along with seams engineered for faster changes and higher reliability. On the operations side, suppliers are adopting monitoring, data-backed selection, and lifetime prediction, shifting from selling a fabric to delivering “fabric + field service + performance outcomes.” Finally, low-carbon and design-for-recycling material strategies, plus more localized production footprints closer to key customers, are becoming important competitive differentiators.
