Polyester fiber wall panels, as a new generation of eco-friendly building materials, have rapidly gained popularity in architectural decoration, acoustic treatment, and furniture manufacturing. With advantages such as light weight and high strength, environmental sustainability, multi-functionality, and durability, they are becoming an increasingly important segment in the global building materials market.
According to QYResearch, the global fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) panel market is expected to reach USD 4.765 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.19%. Growth is primarily driven by rising demand for lightweight, durable materials in the construction sector, as well as ongoing implementation of environmental policies worldwide.
Regionally, North America, Europe, and China are key production hubs, with the top five manufacturers accounting for about 23.26% of market revenue. China, benefiting from a complete industry chain and supportive policies under the “14th Five-Year Plan,” is experiencing rapid development.
Key Advantages

-
Multi-Functional – Excellent acoustic and thermal insulation, customizable textures and colors
-
High Durability – Resistant to corrosion, mold, and deformation, reducing maintenance costs
Applications
Beyond traditional wall decoration and acoustic treatments, polyester fiber wall panels are increasingly used in partitions, ceilings, and furniture manufacturing—particularly in commercial spaces, educational facilities, and high-end residential projects.
Technology Trends
The industry is moving toward green innovation and smart manufacturing:
-
Higher recycled material ratios & lower production energy consumption
-
Smart surface functions such as self-cleaning and temperature regulation
-
Greater adoption of automated production lines for consistent quality and efficiency
Production Process of Polyester Fiber Wall Panel
Modern manufacturing follows four main steps: material cutting – oven heating – cold pressing – trimming.
Material Cutting
High-quality recyclable PET polyester fiber boards are cut into preforms using vertical cutting machines according to product specifications. 
Oven Heating
Controlled heating at 180–220°C softens fiber surfaces to form bonding nodes while preserving the porous structure for acoustic performance. Heating time is typically 2–3 minutes, with ±3°C temperature accuracy
Cold Pressing
Using a hydraulic cold press with circulating cooling water, the material is rapidly shaped and solidified, improving dimensional stability and efficiency.
Trimming
Excess edges are removed using mechanical dies or laser cutting, ensuring precise dimensions and clean finishes. Scrap materials are recycled back into production, achieving a closed-loop green manufacturing process.
Cold Press Machine Parameters & Selection Guide
The cold press is the core equipment in polyester fiber wall panel production. Key parameters include:
-
Pressure – Stable and adjustable hydraulic system for various densities and thicknesses
-
Table Size – Follow the “Table > Mold > Product” rule, choose based on maximum product size
-
Stroke & Opening Height – Stroke = 2× product height; Opening = 3× product height for ease of loading/unloading
-
Temperature Control (Oven) – Range from ambient to 250°C, accuracy ±3°C
Selection Recommendations
-
Integrate a circulating cooling system for faster and higher-quality forming
-
Use digital pressure control with a user-friendly HMI
-
Ensure safety features such as overload protection and emergency stop
-
Evaluate after-sales service and maintenance—well-maintained equipment can last 10–20 years
For small and medium-sized enterprises with budget constraints, a phased investment approach is recommended: start with equipment that meets current production needs, then upgrade to larger or higher-performance models as business grows.
