Opportunities

• Growing demand for aircrafts

Industrial workers are exposed to various risks in their daily routine. Industrial and chemicals products can be irritating, flammable corrosive and even deadly. As a result of this, it is necessary for workers to wear protective clothing to avoid contact with these dangers and hazards. The organization has established some safety rules and standards related to industrial disasters such as fires, manufacturing machinery failures and other happenings. For instance, as per the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.132, workers must wear protective clothing in the oil and gas industries. Moreover, ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 (American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel) NFPA 70E (for arc-flash hazards), NFPA 2112 and 2113 (for flash-fire hazards), and other regulations, which control the usage of protective in the oil and gas industry. These rules and regulations support elastomer coated fabrics market growth because these fabrics are frequently used in producing protective textiles. Therefore, such rules will likely create several market growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Restraints/Challenges

• Environmental Concerns associated with usage of elastomers

Despite the several benefits, natural elastomer contributes to the world's modernization, the result of natural elastomer processing continues to impose serious issue owing to its highly polluted wastes. Normally latex rubber processing wastewater contains high levels of SS, COD and BOD. This sector's rapid growth produces large quantities of wastes during its processing operations, which is a main issue. Discharging wastewater from the elastomer processing industry into the environment without suitable technique may have severe and long-term consequences. Therefore, such environmental concerns associated to elastomer coated fabrics hinder the overall growth of the global elastomer coated fabrics market during the forecast period.
