What Nonwovens Industry does

Nonwovens Industry is a B2B trade publication serving the global nonwovens and disposable hygiene industry, published by Rodman Media Corp. from New Jersey, USA. Founded circa 1964 and in operation for more than 60 years, the title reaches more than 106,200 industry professional reader connections monthly across integrated media packages spanning print magazine, an interactive digital edition hosted on a Texterity-powered platform, a news website (nonwovens-industry.com), email newsletters, social channels (X, LinkedIn, Facebook), video (Videos and short-form VideoBites), webinars, and live event coverage at global conferences including Techtextil North America, INDEX, Hygienix, FiltXPO, Go Wipes, and Outlook. The content product spans technology topic areas (ATB/Thermal Bonding, Airlaid, Spunbond/Meltblown/SMS, Needlepunch, Spunlace, Wetlaid), end-use segments (hygiene & medical, wipes, technical nonwovens), market data, investments, supplier news, new products, patents, and regulatory/sustainability coverage.

The commercial product portfolio includes the flagship monthly magazine (print and digital), a searchable Buyers' Guide directory of materials, machinery, contract services, and raw materials across the nonwovens supply chain, a Hygiene Directory covering brands and brand owners, Company Capabilities editorial features, the annual Top 40 Nonwovens Industry Companies ranking report, sponsored content, eBooks and a knowledge library, and webinars. Revenue is generated primarily through advertising and sponsored content targeted at nonwovens material suppliers, machinery manufacturers, and service providers seeking reach to industry decision-makers; recurring print and digital subscriptions; and paid directory listings. Pricing is quote-based, with multi-year advertising contracts sold through an internal sales team; specific tier pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional web-based publishing platform with an interactive digital magazine module, directory database backends for the Buyers' Guide and Hygiene Directory properties, and video hosting. No AI/ML capabilities, API offerings, SDKs, or model integrations are documented. The company is privately held, has 51-100 employees, and operates as one title within a broader Rodman Media portfolio of B2B trade publications; no external institutional or private equity ownership is disclosed, and no M&A, leadership changes, or restructuring events have been recorded in the available data.

Direct peers

• Happi: Sister publication within the Rodman Media portfolio serving the household and personal care industry with a print magazine, digital edition, and Buyers' Guide. Operates the same B2B trade media model and shares back-office, audience overlap, and advertiser base with Nonwovens Industry.
• Beauty Packaging Magazine: Another Rodman Media B2B trade title focused on the beauty packaging industry, delivered via print, digital, and directory products. Comparable business model, revenue streams, and audience development approach to Nonwovens Industry.
• Nutraceuticals World: Rodman Media trade publication covering the nutraceuticals industry through print, digital, and event channels. Highly comparable in format, revenue mix, and go-to-market motion to Nonwovens Industry.
• Textile World: Long-running B2B trade magazine covering the global textile manufacturing industry, including adjacent nonwovens and technical textiles coverage. Directly comparable editorial product and advertiser base, particularly for machinery and fiber suppliers.
• Paper 360°: B2B trade publication of TAPPI serving the pulp, paper, and packaging industries, including wetlaid nonwovens which overlap with Nonwovens Industry's coverage. Comparable trade magazine model with association backing and global reach.

Broad incumbents

• Plastics News: Established B2B trade publication covering the broader plastics industry, with overlap on polymer raw materials and machinery relevant to nonwovens producers. Larger in scale and serves as a broader incumbent spanning multiple plastic end-markets.
• IndustryWeek: Long-running B2B media brand covering manufacturing broadly across multiple verticals. Operates a comparable advertising- and sponsorship-driven trade publication model, and competes for the attention of manufacturing executives who read Nonwovens Industry.
• Informa Markets: Global events and B2B media group that owns and produces major industry exhibitions including INDEX and Techtextil — events Nonwovens Industry covers. A much larger incumbent operating across many verticals that competes for both advertising dollars and event-driven audience engagement.

Others

• INDA (Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry): The primary North American trade association for the nonwovens industry, organizer of events such as Hygienix and Filtration. Not a direct media competitor, but a key ecosystem participant that publishes market data, reports, and hosts conferences overlapping with Nonwovens Industry's coverage.
• EDANA: International association serving the nonwovens and related industries, organizer of the INDEX exhibition. Publishes industry statistics, sustainability reports, and hosts events that parallel and sometimes compete with Nonwovens Industry's editorial and event coverage.
