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

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

Coated Fabrics are fabrics that have been treated to make them more durable, and stronger. These fabrics do not directly interweave reinforcing fibers into the fabric, but are coated with a substance that makes the surface of the fabric less vulnerable to damage. The most common Coated Fabrics are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PU) textiles. In recent years, with its excellent properties, Silicone has begun to be used in the Coated Fabrics industry.

Silicone Coated Fabrics is to add the silicone coating composition to one or both sides of the base fabric. Silicone is a polymer composed of siloxane. They have low toxicity, low chemical reactivity, good electrical insulation properties, resistance to oxygen, ozone and ultraviolet rays, the ability to repel water, and do not support the growth of microorganisms. By using silicone coated fabrics, the covered objects can be made more durable, and in the construction and industrial industries, it can also reduce the requirements of the substrates.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Silicone Coated Fabrics market finds that the global Silicone Coated Fabrics market reached a value of USD 27.88 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 36.52 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period.

Non-toxic and recyclable

Unlike plastic or rubber-coated fabrics, Silicone Coated Fabrics are non-toxic and will not release some compounds that may cause damage to the human body. In addition, it is durable, high temperature resistant, and well-sealed, and can be safely used on food and medical packaging. At the same time, silicone will not be biodegraded and can be recycled. Through the use of specific technologies by professional companies, silicone can be recovered from scrap silicone coated fabrics and reused.

Simple process and high quality

The process of making Silicone Coated Fabrics is simple. It only needs to mix silicone monomers and silicone polymers, and then mix and cast on the assembly line through coating and heating stations. The production process is also easy to control, and it is easy to get standard quality and high-quality products. With the development of 3D printing technology, there are now producers who use 3D printing technology to produce silicone coated fabrics, which is faster than manual operations.

Growth of downstream demand

Most of the traditional coated fabrics are polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PU) textiles. Although silicone has existed for many years, it is mainly used in electronics, medical treatment, consumer products, and construction. In recent years, silicone has been applied to the field of coated fabrics, especially in the fields of aerospace, automobile, construction, and industry, and with its excellent performance, it has won the preference of these industries. Silicone Coated Fabrics are different from traditional coated fabrics. Silicone Coated Fabric's more environmentally friendly and durable properties allow it to quickly occupy a certain proportion in the coated fabric market, and demand will also increase during the forecast period.

Segmentation Overview:

By type, Synthetic Base Fabrics segment accounted for the largest share of market in 2022.

Natural Base Fabrics

Natural Base Fabrics refer to textile base fabrics made of natural fibers. Natural fibers are made from animal and plant fibers, including cotton, fur, wool, etc. Natural fiber textiles are generally more breathable, absorb moisture, and feel better. In addition, natural fibers can be degraded naturally, while synthetic fibers cannot.

Synthetic Base Fabrics

Synthetic Base Fabrics refer to textile base fabrics made of synthetic fibers. Synthetic fabrics account for most of the fabric. Synthetic fibers are derived from petroleum products, usually polymers. Compared with natural fibers, synthetic fiber fabrics are very durable and long-lasting. Although synthetic fibers have anti-stretch, shrink and anti-wrinkle properties, the chemicals used in the synthesis process may irritate human or animal skin or cause discomfort.

Application Overview:

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