Introduction to Textile Coatings
Textile coating is the process of putting a resin over a textile substrate on one or both the sides. This produces a new structure which has acquired the properties of the coating product and the substrate. Moreover, it protects the material from environmental factors such as dust, water, heat and oil. Consequently, it increases the durability and functionality of the end product and delivers properties such as anti-bacterial, anti-abrasion, fire retardation along with modifying the overall appearance of the end product.
Resins such as PU, PVC, polyester, and acrylics are used for the coatings on the substrate thereby, making a wide range of products for different applications. PVC coating is harmful for humans as well as environment, therefore manufacturers have started replacing PVC coating with PU coating. Not all the systems used for coatings are appropriate for every product or substrate.
Market Size and Forecast
Growing potential in construction, home-furnishing, medical and clothing industry is anticipated to drive the textiles coatings market. Consumer preference is shifting towards advanced products and this is forcing the companies to innovate and launch advance technologies in their fabrics. Increase in the investment in research and development activities in order to improve moisture content, launch fiber technologies and delivering comfort are the factors that are being demanded by the consumers and are being adapted by the companies to increase their revenue and retain their position in the market.
The textile coatings market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 4.1% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. The market is segmented by material, technology & application. The market is segmented by material into thermosets (natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber), thermoplastics (acrylic, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride) out of which, the thermoplastics segment is anticipated to have leading shares on account of various superior properties such as excellent insulating and lightweight nature etc. They can be easily welded with heat and are normally used as heat-melt adhesives.
The market is further segmented by technology into traditional, advanced (magnetron sputtering, plasma coating) out of which, the advanced technology segment is anticipated to have significant growth on account of innovations and various properties such as anti-microbial coating used in electrodes and various medical applications. On the basis of application, the market is segmented into construction, home furnishing, transportation, medical, clothing, packaging, sports & leisure, industrial. Construction industry accounted for largest share attributed to high adoption of hoardings for advertisements particularly in developing countries. Advertisement trends are shifting towards innovations which is a factor boosting the market growth. Additionally, increase in the usage of the product for architectural activities is further contributing towards growth of the market. Home furnishing is expected to have significant growth on account of robust demand for furniture such as carpets and sofa covers. Transportation segment accounted for increase in the regulations regarding driver’s safety with advancement in technology and comfort delivery. Medical segment is projected to have healthy growth on the back of protection from bacteria such as antimicrobial devices and implantable & non-implantable devices required for patients.
Many companies in the textile coatings market are making investments through resources for innovations occurring as a result of changing trends. The occurrence of smart clothing with devices, development of nanotechnology and AI and increasing consideration of biomaterials are expected to alter end use industries in the future. Clothing with methods of charging smartphones, water repellant materials, UV protection layers, and self-cleansing fabrics are attaining huge demand through the fashion industry. This is expected to challenge the manufacturers to adjust with the new technologies and undertaking new design options for the clothing industry to meet the customers demand. Owing to huge cost of investments, small players may face difficulty in entering into the market. Conversely, small players having innovations may be rewarded with various opportunities in the market in the coming future.
Growth Drivers
There has been continuous increase in performance and quality standards in the end use industries such as rise in performance requirements and increasing fire safety regulations. Additionally, initiation of innovative technologies are done regularly and is anticipated to open new opportunities for the manufacturers in the textile coatings market and drive the growth of the market during the forecasted period.
Restraints
Some materials such as PVC and isocyanides are harmful for the environment and human health. Environmental concerns in relation to PVC material coatings and threats from bio based alternatives are expected to restrain the textile coatings market growth.
