MARKET ANALYSIS
The textile coating deposits a layer of resins or polymer onto one or both sides of a textile substrate. This coating aims to enhance the textile's properties and performance characteristics. The coating material can be applied in various forms, such as liquid, paste, or foam, and it is typically cured or dried to form a solid film over the fabric. The textile coating has several purposes, including improving the textile's durability, water resistance, flame retardancy, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. The appearance of the fabric by adding color, texture, and glossy finish can also be enhanced by the textile coatings. Additionally, coating textiles can provide functional properties like breathability, moisture management, and UV protection.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The textile coating market is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to its high industry quality standards, which drive the textile coating market. The demand for higher-performing textiles, compliance with safety regulations, customization options, and the desire for value-added products all drive the adoption of textile coatings across various industries. In addition, the increasing need for geotextiles is one of the prominent drivers for the surge in the textile coating market. The increase in geotextile demand due to infrastructure development, environmental regulations, performance requirements, and technological advancements boost the textile coating market. Although, the advancement in production technologies poses a challenge to expanding the textile coating market.
