Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Report by Polymer Type (Polyvinyl Coated Fabrics, Polyurethane Coated Fabrics, Polyethylene Coated Fabrics, and Others), Material Type (Knitted, Woven, Non-Woven), Application (Transportation, Protective Clothing, Roofing, Awnings and Canopies, Furniture and Seating, and Others), and Region 2024-2032
The global polymer coated fabrics market size reached US$ 28.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 42.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% during 2024-2032.
Polymer coated fabrics are engineered composite materials treated and glazed with different grades of polymers, such as acrylic, polyurethane (PU), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They also comprise fillers, pigments, antioxidants, reinforcement fibers, fire retardant (FR) chemicals, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation and heat stabilizers. They improve abrasion, elasticity, elongation, fiber strength, oil and dirt impermeability, moisture barrier, and wear, weather, and corrosion resistance. Consequently, they are widely employed in the aerospace, defense, automotive, and electronics industries worldwide to enhance the mechanical properties of textiles.
Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Trends:
The increasing focus on the safety of workers is driving the demand for high-visibility waterproof protective clothing in the industrial setting. This represents one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, polymer coated fabrics find application in the automotive industry to make airbags, seatbelts, covers, and other textiles for vehicles. This, in confluence with the boosting sales of passenger vehicles on account of inflating income levels and rapid urbanization, is contributing to market growth. This can also be accredited to the mandatory installation of airbags in vehicles by governing agencies of several countries and the rising number of fatal road accidents globally. Besides this, these fabrics are utilized in the production of geotextiles that are used in the construction of roads, channels, and low embankment dams. This, coupled with rising investments in infrastructural projects, is creating a positive market outlook. Moreover, the escalating demand for multipurpose textiles for electrical insulation is positively influencing the adoption of polymer coated fabrics around the world. Furthermore, the increasing focus of leading market players on developing environment-friendly coating adhesives without solvent is anticipated to catalyze the demand for polymer coated fabrics.
