Performance Fabrics Market: Overview

Performance textiles are special fabrics that are produced and manufactured for a variety of applications. This particular type of textile provides added benefits, such as waterproofing, stain protection, odor detouring, flame resistance, anti-bacterial protection, body temperature heating or cooling, etc. Performance fabrics are generally used for making active-wear, mountain activities (trekking, mountaineering, and other activities), sportswear, work wear, military wear, and protective wear. Due to high-performance attributes of performance fabrics, they are steadily replacing the old traditional textiles and fabrics.

Performance Fabrics Market: Growth Drivers

The global performance fabrics market is likely to experience high growth in the future, owing to the expanding construction sectors, awareness about worker’s safety, and increasing spending on healthcare. Performance fabrics are widely used in various industries for safety and to tackle extreme working conditions. The rising demand for workplace safety and stringent government regulations regarding worker’s safety are projected to enhance the application of performance fabrics in these sectors. Moreover, rapid industrialization around the world has increased the implementation of stringent industrial safety regulations, which will increase the demand for protective clothing, thereby, boosting the performance fabrics market growth in the years ahead. However, the functional disadvantages of technical and performance fabrics may be a hindrance to the market growth in the upcoming years.
