Waterproof
Breathable Textiles Market: Snapshot
Waterproof
breathable textiles (WBT), as the name depicts, are employed in the
manufacture of garments that are weather-proof, i.e., which prevent
the passage of water and heat from the fabric. These textiles prevent
both penetration and absorption of water, unlike water-repellent
fabrics that only delay water penetration. These waterproof
breathable textiles permit the flow of water vapor (perspiration)
from inside the clothing to the outer atmosphere. However, these
textiles prevent penetration of heat or water from outside to inside
the fabric. The waterproof breathable textiles market can be
bifurcated on the basis of product type into densely woven, coated,
and membranes. On the basis of end-user industry, the market for
waterproof breathable textiles can be segmented into garments,
footwear, and gloves.

The
densely woven type of waterproof breathable textiles is manufactured
by combining and piling up cotton yarns together. When exposed to
water, pores of these densely woven fabric are swollen, thus reducing
the size of pores in the fabric. This reduction in size of pores
requires very high pressure to permit the passage of water through
the fabric.
For
a highly dense type of waterproof breathable textiles, the standard
pore size of is about 10 μm, while that of conventional fabric is 60
μm. The membranes type of water breathable textile is an absolutely
thin film made from polymer. It is designed in such way that it
prevents passage of liquid water into the fabric and only allows
penetration of water vapor through it. This type has a thickness of
about 10 μm and possesses lamination coating to impart the necessary
physical strength. Materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
polymer and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are primarily employed
during the manufacturing process. These hydrophilic membranes are
thin films of chemically modified polyurethane or polyester. One
surface is coated with polyurethane in coated waterproof breathable
fabrics.
Waterproof
Breathable Textiles Market: Trends and Opportunities
The
membranes type of waterproof breathable textile exhibits properties
such protection from UV radiation, airborne pollutants, and
temperature variations. High demand for membranes type of waterproof
breathable textile is expected to propel the market in the near
future. Increasing demand for high performance and extremely
comfortable fabrics is estimated to drive the global market for
waterproof breathable textiles in the next few years. Rising
disposable income and increasing awareness regarding fitness are
expected to propel demand for waterproof breathable textiles in
developing economies such as China and India.
Rising
use of recycled PET bottles in the manufacture of waterproof
breathable textiles is anticipated to boost growth of the waterproof
breathable textiles market globally. Growing need for antimicrobial
and stain-resistant fabrics in sportswear garments is likely to fuel
demand for waterproof breathable textiles in this application.
Waterproof
Breathable Textiles Market: Competitive Landscape
The
global market for waterproof breathable textiles is highly fragmented
and consists of low- and mid-sized manufacturers. Entry barrier for
new entrants is low in terms of capital investment and technology.
