UAE Specialty Breathable Membrane Market – Overview

Breathability refers to a membrane's ability to transmit moisture through it. Breathable membranes are installed on the outer side of the insulation, such as over or under counter-battens on a pitched roof, to allow water vapor to escape without the need for ventilation. They also keep any water from entering the building, which is usually rain. A breathable membrane is used where water can cause damage because it can transmit moisture through it. Growing demand for a breathable membrane in sanitary napkins and baby diapers, rising disposable income, and an increasing female population are driving profitable growth in the market. The growing investment in research and development for the healthcare sector and hygiene products is expected to fuel the growth of the specialty breathable membrane industry in the coming years.

Opportunity: Increasing demand for hygiene products

The rising surge in demand for hygiene products is one of the key factors driving the growth of the specialty breathable membranes market. Because of safety concerns, the specialty breathable membrane is widely used in moisture-absorbing products. Examples include pharmaceutical and food product packaging. As a result, demand for specialty membranes is expected to rise in tandem with investment in the food and beverage industry.

Challenge: Economic sluggishness and the impact of COVID-19 on the manufacturing industry

The national GDP has shrunk as a result of the closure of several manufacturing industries. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the demand for industrial applications in 2020. The significant gap between supply and demand exacerbated this effect. Many production processes had to be put on hold due to financial losses while the economy was recovering. The demand for specialized breathable membranes was also lessened by the global decline in manufacturing. The specialty breathable membrane market in the UAE was unable to expand as a result.

UAE Specialty Breathable Membrane Market – By Application

UAE specialty breathable membrane market is segmented by application into Healthcare/Medical, Textile, and Others. The healthcare/medical segment, which currently has a monopoly on the UAE market, is expected to continue to lead the market during the forecasting period due to rising public awareness of hygiene and health safety and increased usage of hygiene products. The growing production of surgical drapes, facemasks, surgical gowns, PPE kits, and other products is driving segment demand. The textile segment is also expanding rapidly in the UAE market. During the forecast period, the segment's growth will be boosted by the population's shifting lifestyles, rising disposable income, and rising millennials' proclivity for sports, the gym, and various types of footwear.
