Construction Fabrics Market By Type (Woven, Non-Woven, Others), By Material (Polyester, Nylon, PTFE, Cotton, Silicone Glass, ETFE, Others), By Application (Acoustic Fabric, Tensile Architecture, Awnings and Canopies, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The construction fabrics market attained $10.6 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $15.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2022 to 2031.
Construction fabrics are high-performance, durable, polymer-coated, and resilient architectural membrane materials. They exhibit self-cleaning properties along with strength, resilience, lightweight, resistance to chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. They are made out of high-strength inner fabric or mesh onto which a protective polymer coating is applied on both sides. This helps in resisting moisture, heat, and air transfer, and safeguarding the fabric from mechanical and chemical damage. Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene, two related petrochemical compounds, are used to produce construction fabrics including tarpaulins, roofing plastic, building material, and drop cloths (PE). These construction fabrics offer excellent durability and have several commercial and industrial applications, just like PVC textiles. PVC, PP, and PE, on the other hand, are sourced from petroleum, which makes them more useful for some purposes and lowers the cost of their production compared to textiles made of cotton.
Interlacing yarn systems are used in the weaving of fabrics. A wide range of alternative fabric constructions can be created by altering the interlacing. Two or more yarn sets that are interwoven at right angles to one another are used to create woven fabrics. Weaving results in a great deal of variability. Fabrics that are woven are typically stronger. They are useful for creating trends in clothing because they are simple to cut into various forms. If a woven fabric is made of cotton instead of polyester, the texture, appearance, and care will be different. Woven material is more durable. It is commonly utilized to create goods that are more durable or intended to be worn more frequently. Woven material frequently keep their shape effectively. Although some of them have more drapes than others, the majority of them are not thought of as drapey material. Fabrics that are woven have a strong tendency to last for a very long time. Woven material can tolerate numerous items of washing as well. As a result of the way the threads are weaved together, it doesn't pill as much and is less likely to pull and snag. These factors will drive the demand for woven fabrics. The process of weaving fabrics is still more intensive due to the precise and sometimes complex weaving methods. Because of this woven fabrics tends to be more expensive than other fabrics.
Emulsion polymers are used for PTFE coatings to improve water, oil, and solvent resistance and to provide aesthetic appeal. Examples of products that demonstrate the necessity for both hydrophobicity and flexibility, even at low temperatures, include boat coverings, convertible tops, and outdoor awnings. Emulsion polymer's UV resistance is a property that is typically required in PTFE covers designed for outdoor use. Woven polymer-based coating compositions offer good water resistance and resist early aging under direct sunlight. Construction fabrics are used in carpets to adhere the scrim for dimensional stability and to give anchoring for the tufts. The increasing population and increased focus on personal appearance is driving the PTFE industry. Given the requirement to survive washing and dry cleaning, polymer emulsions used in the PTFE finishing sector offer exceptional durability and resistance to water and detergents. The two types of emulsion polymers most frequently employed in PTFEs are woven and non-woven. The most popular emulsion polymers in leather finishing are pure woven and woven copolymers, competing with non-in-kind systems like polyurethane dispersions. Emulsion polymers, in particular Acrylonitrile latexes, have experienced a significant increase in demand as natural rubber substitutes for latex gloves in recent years.
Concrete is combined with textile fibers to improve its qualities, including cost reduction, environmental friendliness, UV and electromagnetic radiation protection, and so forth. Due to the concept of green energy, applications for electroluminescent material and textiles with integrated LEDs have increased. These days, textile-reinforced concrete, also known as TRC, has performance characteristics comparable to steel-reinforced concrete. TRC offers cost-effective, lightweight constructions with excellent surfaces and high levels of durability. TRC provides mechanical properties such as lightness, strength, and resilience. They are also resistant to many factors such as creep, degradation by chemicals and pollutants as well as the effects of rain, sunlight, acid, and base.
One of the major cost drivers in the textile sector is energy. For textile facilities, increasing energy efficiency should be their top priority, especially during periods of significant energy price volatility. Every textile mill has numerous energy-efficiency potential, many of which are economically viable. A region's climate-specific UV-blocking chemicals could be used to build architectural material like fabric with the necessary level of translucency. This technology lets natural light into the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting and cutting down on energy expenses.
Architects are leaning towards alternate material usage compared to the current construction material. Sustainable building materials use less energy during production and are better for the environment and human health. Alternative building materials come in a wide variety today. The material is now a more effective, long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and economical construction technology. The material guarantees the use of scarce resources while also having less of an impact on the environment. Long-term energy and financial savings can be achieved by using alternative materials that take a sustainable approach. It can be produced in an environmentally friendly manner to benefit our surroundings and air quality.
Environmental regulations regarding chemical use in industry differ across various countries making it difficult for manufacturers to adjust the usage of textile manufacturing material according to region-specific regulations. Customers are becoming more interested in eco-friendly and biodegradable items. The intermediate industry makes an effort to prevent price increases on the end product from causing them to lose market share. Governments in Europe, North America, and Asia have developed strict regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of construction fabric waste.
