Industrial Fabrics Market Global Information by Fiber Type (Polyamide, Polyester, Aramid, Composite), Application (Automotive Carpet, Conveyor Belts, Transmission Belts, Protective Apparel, Flame Resistant Apparel, Filter Media) and Region Forecast till 2030

Industrial Fabrics Market Overview

Industrial Fabrics Market is projected to be worth USD 192.86 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030). The market was valued at USD 110.35 billion in 2021.

Industrial fabrics are designed and engineered to use in products, processes, and services of non-textiles industries. These fabrics offer high strength, durability, inexpensive production, good elasticity, low maintenance, and weather resistance. Industrial fabrics are especially useful in the manufacturing of tents, awnings, graphic banners, and roofing.

The industrial fabrics market is majorly driven by the extensive use of industrial fabrics in the automotive industry. The high disposable income and the changing lifestyle trend of the consumers across the globe has resulted in an increased production and sales of automobile, which drives the demand for industrial fabrics market. These fabrics are used in automotive applications such as linings, mats, dashboards, door panels, seat belts, and insulating materials. The other major driver of the industrial fabrics is its use in manufacturing of geotextiles. The geotextiles are used for applications such as separation, stabilization, reinforcement, filtration, and moisture barrier. The geotextiles are used in unpaved and paved roads in airport runways, sidewalks and sand drainage layers, parking lots and curb areas, green areas and recreational facilities, and others. The rising infrastructural development across the globe owing to the fast-paced industrialization and urbanization is driving the demand for geotextiles, which in turn, drives the demand for industrial fabrics. Moreover, the use of industrial fabrics in the protective clothing such as extinguishing blankets, safety nets, gas-proof fabrics, water-repellent fabrics, waterproof fabrics, and mosquito netting is fueling the growth of the global industrial fabrics market.

However, the stringent regulations for environment protection owing to the non-biodegradability of the industrial fabrics is hampering the market growth.

The major market players are focused on strategic growth initiatives such as new product launch, mergers, and acquisition to strengthen their position in the market. For instance, in October 2018, Ahlstrom-Munksjö launched ViroSēl, an innovative fabric constructed to keep medical professionals protected and comfortable in critical surgeries such as cesarean section, gastric, and cardiac.
