Coated Fabrics Market is Expected to Witness Significant Growth Attributed to Growing Use in Protective Clothing and Automotive Applications

The global Coated Fabrics Market is predicted to grow at significant CAGR during the forecast period (2018 to 2025), according to a report available on Radiant Insights, Inc. Growing requirement for technology advanced fabric material offer better characteristics as compare to conventional fabrics can propel demand for coated fabrics. These fabrics are likely to offer advanced protective coating that can keep fabric light weight and better water repellant over its counterparts.   

Growing use of coated fabrics for manufacturing various products such as PTFE tapes and conveyor belts can fuel market growth in the future. Rising adoption of product as low-cost alternative leather for upholstery and trims can augment growth of market. Increasing investments in development of automotive, construction, and oil & gas sector can surge demand for coated fabrics over next few years. Growing concerns regarding workers safety coupled with stringent regulations can fuel demand for protective clothing. This, in turn, can stimulate market growth. Continual technological advancements aimed to reduce prices of raw materials and to achieve efficient production can influence growth of market during the forecast period (2018 to 2025).

To cater to rising demand for coated fabric, most companies are likely to invest in R&D activities to develop advanced products. For instance, a team of scientists at Massachusetts institute of technology (MIT) recently developed novel coating that can make silk and cotton fabric water repellant. This coating is expected to consist long polymers with perfluorinated side-chains. Long-chain versions are likely make fabric better water repellant as compared to conventional coated fabrics. Scientists are expected to combine shorter-chain polymer and different coating process called initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD).
