Global Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Polymer Coated Fabrics are engineered composite materials consisting of the polymer coating and textile as the substrate. The coating of textile surfaces can be done with one or more than one type of polymers to impart a variety of useful structural properties, notably weather and corrosion resistance, resistance to impermeability to oil and dirt, and marked fabric abrasion.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Polymer Coated Fabrics market finds that the global Polymer Coated Fabrics market reached a value of USD 16650.27 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 22625.0 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.24% during the forecast period.

Impacts from the short-term

Due to the outbreak of a new coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide in 2020, the demand for protective clothing has increased dramatically. Due to its high strength, strong water resistance and bacterial particle barrier, it played an important role in the production of protective clothing, leading to an increase in sales of protective clothing in its downstream market. However, from the perspective of the entire polymer coated fabric market, raw material prices will fluctuate accordingly. The logistics and transportation pressure of various countries is great, and the recovery of enterprises is also delayed. Therefore, sales of polymer coated fabrics will decline.

Impacts from the long-term

Facing the shortage of medical prevention and control materials such as protective clothing, countries have promoted the production and supply of imported medical materials. Polymer Coated Fabrics is one of the important raw materials for the production of medical protective clothing. This has a positive impact on the development of the Polymer Coated Fabrics market. However, due to fierce market competition, Polymer Coated Fabrics must have its own core competitiveness in order to survive, such as products, channels, marketing, management, technology, cost advantages, etc., to continuously improve the core competitive advantage.

Strength

Polymer coated fabrics are widely used in the automotive industry to manufacture interior trims, seat belts, airbags, car seats and roofs. Due to the increasing demand for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, the increase in automobile production is one of the main factors driving the polymer coated fabric market. Supported by infrastructure development, higher economic growth rates and large investments in industries such as oil and gas, automotive, infrastructure, chemical, steel, and military have also driven the polymer-coated fabric market in the region.

Weakness

Due to the release of harmful air pollutants, the government strictly regulates the manufacturing process of polymer-coated fabric materials, which may affect the growth of the market. And consumer awareness of environmental issues related to disposal issues and non-recyclable products will also limit product growth. Moreover, fluctuations in raw material polymer prices and the supply of better alternatives are key factors that may weaken market growth to some extent.

Region Overview:

Europe dominated the Polymer Coated Fabrics market in 2022, with a market share of 38.03%.

Company Overview:

Continental AG is one of the major players operating in the Polymer Coated Fabrics market, holding a share of 3.66% in 2023.

Continental AG

Continental AG is a manufacturer in the German transportation industry. The main products are tires, braking systems, body stability control systems, engine injection systems, tachometers, and other automotive and transportation parts.

Trelleborg AB

Trelleborg AB is a Swedish multinational company specializing in polymer and rubber. Founded in 1905, it is headquartered in Trelleborg, Skåne. It is divided into coating systems, industrial systems, marine engineering and construction, five business groups including sealing systems and tire systems.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Vinyl Coated Fabrics segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.

Vinyl Coated Fabrics

The vinyl-coated fabric is composed of polyester scrim, adhesive or adhesive and an external PVC coating. The scrim supports the coating and provides the tensile strength, elongation, tear strength and dimensional stability of the resulting fabric.

PU Coated Fabrics

PU coated fabric is made up of a synthetic woven base fabric (usually polyester or nylon) with a waterproofing polyurethane coating or laminate. The polyurethane coating is applied to a single side of the base fabric, this makes the fabric water resistant, light weight and flexible.

PE Coated Fabrics

PE Coated Fabrics will not deteriorate due to chemicals, mold, rot, sweat, sunlight or weather. They are lighter than polyester fibers and have a lower melting point. They are strong and resistant to stains and stains. They are resistant to scratches and scratches, and dry out quickly. They also have stain resistance, so colors must be added to the fabric during manufacture.

Application Overview:

By application, the Transportation segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
