In 2022, the sales of passenger cars surged from 1,467,039 to 1,747,376 units, while utility vehicles experienced a notable increase from 1,489,219 to 2,003,718 units. Additionally, van sales saw an uptick from 113,265 to 139,020 units compared to the previous fiscal year i.e. FY2021 to FY 2022. Rising number of sales in automotive sector across the globe to increase the requirement of technical fabrics.

Rising Demand from Healthcare Appliance to Increase the Requirement for Technical Fabrics

The healthcare sector's need for technical fabrics has witnessed an unprecedented surge, primarily accelerated by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Critical medical products such as surgical gowns, drapes, face masks, wound dressings, and various personal protective equipment (PPE) rely heavily on technical fabrics to ensure optimal safety and functionality. Bothrely heavily on technical fabrics to ensure optimal safety and functionality for healthcare professionals and patients. These specialized textiles offer essential properties like breathability, fluid resistance, bacterial filtration, and barrier protection, all of which are crucial in infection control and prevention within healthcare settings. As healthcare facilities worldwide prioritize infection control protocols and preparedness for similar future events, the demand for advanced technical fabrics is expected to remain a key driving force in the growth of the technical fabrics market within the healthcare sector.

For instance, in the first quarter of 2023 Johnson & Johnson reported that their sales in the United States demonstrated an impressive growth of close to 10 percent, reaching a total of USD 12.52 billion. Simultaneously, international sales experienced a notable uptick of nearly 2 percent. The increasing sales volume of healthcare appliance is set to boost the demand for technical fabrics.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted the technical fabrics market, since the healthcare sector saw an unprecedented surge in demand for technical fabrics used in medical applications. The need for personal protective equipment (PPE) like masks, gowns, and other medical textiles increased exponentially to protect healthcare workers and patients, driving up demand for specialized materials. Moreover, a heightened focus was on developing technical fabrics with antimicrobial and antiviral properties to enhance safety. These fabrics are intended for use in various settings, including healthcare, transportation, public spaces. Despite there was a surge in demand for medical textiles, other sectors that utilize technical fabrics, such as automotive and aerospace, experienced a downturn due to lockdowns, reduced consumer demand, and disruptions in manufacturing activities.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War

The Russia-Ukraine had direct impact on the downstream industries of technical fabrics. For instance, the textile sector suffered from decreased sales as several companies had to stop operating in Russia, which weakened the demand for technical fabrics. Performance of automotive sector in the regions affected by the war were down further weakening demand for technical fabrics. Poor demand from other sectors such as agriculture and packaging also decreased demand for technical fabrics. However, the surge in defence investments, triggered by the conflict and geopolitical instability, countered the declining demand for technical fabrics across the globe.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

Major manufacturers within the technical fabrics industry are: proactively introducing novel products meticulously tailored to cater to specific applications, encompassing pivotal sectors like automotive, healthcare appliances, and clothing, to ensure that each product aligns precisely with the unique requisites and standards of the intended industry.

For instance, Freudenberg Performance Materials unveiled its newest innovation in June 2023 to address the distinctive packaging requirements within technical sectors. Evolon Ultra Smooth offers superior surface protection and elevated mechanical characteristics when transformed into reusable textile containers.
