Waterproof Breathable Textiles Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Waterproof Breathable Textiles Market is estimated to reach USD 3.60 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.94%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Waterproof Breathable Textiles Market, including market size and trends, product mix, applications, and supplier analysis. Waterproof breathable textiles are intended for use in clothing that provide wind and rain protection. These also reduce the loss of body heat. Waterproof textiles are entirely resistant to liquid water penetration and absorption. Furthermore, these waterproof, breathable materials are largely used in the production of casual, athletic, ski, and outdoor gear. These materials are commonly used in outdoor apparel and gear and have a multi-layer composition. The outer layer is intended to repel water and keep it from permeating the fabric. A waterproof membrane works as a water barrier while yet allowing moisture vapor to pass through.
- In July 2021, Derekduck Industries Corp. enhanced its ULTITEX line in July 2021 with the addition of ULTITEC 1800 and ULTITEC 2000 sticky storm flaps. This launch emphasizes the company's dedication to innovation in protective textiles, improving products for diverse industries and contributing to improvements in the waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market.
- In December 2020, The North Face, an American outdoor recreation clothing manufacturer, worked with Gucci, an Italian luxury brand, to create a trendy collection of hiking gear. The line contains clothes and accessories that are both fashionable and functional, such as climbing gear-inspired backpacks, belt bags, tents, sleeping bags, hiking boots, beanies, shirts, and coats.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
There is an increasing need for environmentally friendly products, including waterproof, breathable textiles. Consumers are looking for fabrics that are constructed from sustainable components and produced in an environmentally friendly manner. Increasing use of smart textiles: Smart textiles are fabrics that are equipped with sensors and other technologies. These fabrics can be used to measure health data, monitor environmental conditions, and even operate gadgets. The waterproof breathable textiles market is likely to develop as smart textiles become more widely used.
The high price of these fabrics is one of the issues the industry for waterproof breathable textiles is facing. Because they are frequently more expensive than conventional textiles, waterproof breathable textiles may not be as economical for certain customers. Additionally, there are a few alternatives to waterproof and breathable materials. Customers might decide to use synthetic materials that are water-resistant but not breathable, for instance. These materials do not, however, perform as well as breathable, waterproof materials. In addition, there are other strict restrictions that apply to the textile sector. It may be challenging for businesses to launch innovative waterproof and breathable textiles due to these restrictions.
Market Competitive Landscape
The global waterproof breathable textile market is fragmented, with large and medium-sized players accounting for the majority of market revenue.
