Segment Analysis:
The global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market is categorized into six notable segments which are based on the basis of type, raw material, form, fabric type, distribution channel, and application.
- On the basis of type, the market is segmented into closely woven fabrics, microporous membranes and coatings, hydrophilic membranes and coating, combination of microporous and hydrophilic membranes and coating, retroreflective microbeads, smart breathable fabrics, fabrics based on biomimetics, and others. In 2022, closely woven is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market. Their densely packed structure minimizes the number of pores, preventing water leakage, while still allowing breathability
In 2022, the closely woven fabrics segment of the type segment is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market
In 2022, closely woven is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market. Their densely packed structure minimizes the number of pores, preventing water leakage, while still allowing breathability. This unique combination of waterproofing and comfort enhances their appeal, driving robust demand in the forecast year.
- On the basis of raw material, the market is segmented into polyurethane, EPTFE, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, silk, wool, cotton, viscose rayon, high-density fabrics (HDF), and others. In 2022, EPTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) is projected to take the lead in the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market. EPTFE is a highly durable material made from 100% fluoropolymer, offering both chemical and fire-resistant properties.
In 2022, the EPTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) segment of the raw material segment is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market
In 2022, EPTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) is projected to take the lead in the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market. EPTFE is a highly durable material made from 100% fluoropolymer, offering both chemical and fire-resistant properties. Its versatility across a wide range of commercial applications contributes to its increased demand in the forecast year.
- On the basis of form, the market is segmented into laminated and coated. In 2022, the laminated sector is anticipated to hold a prominent position in the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market.
