Textile Coatings Market

The extensive use of textiles in automotive manufacturing for applications such as seat belts, rugs, floor mats, and dashboard pads, among many others is one of the primary drivers of this market. In order to provide passenger safety and comfort in on-highway vehicles, aircraft, and trains, transportation textile coatings must offer water resistant, flame resistant, abrasion resistant, and UV protection that is most important. Engineered textiles with specialized functional components, such as those needed for space suits, shuttles, lunar and mars missions, and space travel, are known as aerospace textiles. Wings, body parts, curtains, upholstery fabrics, wall coverings, headgear, floor carpet/covering, seat covers, evacuation slides, air bags, parachutes, space suits, life jackets, and other aerospace-related items are just a few examples of the many uses for textiles in the sector. The two main technical applications are safety and weight reduction for textiles in the aerospace industry. Other drivers of the market include the high and growing demand from the building & construction and protective clothing industry.

However, throughout the assessment period, market growth is projected to be constrained by the high threat from bio-based alternatives.

Innovation in textile production technologies would provide new development opportunities for the players in this market.
