Protective Fabrics Market

Global Protective Fabrics Market Size, Share, Forecast: By Raw Material: Aramid, PBI, Polyester, Cotton Fibre, Polyolefin, Polyamide, Others; By Type: Fire And Heat-Resistant Fabric, Chemical Resistant Fabric, UV Resistant Fabric; By End Use: Building and Construction, Oil and Gas, Others; Regional Analysis; Competitive Landscape; 2024-2032

Global Protective Fabrics Market Outlook

The global protective fabrics market size was approximately USD 5.01 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% between 2024 and 2032, reaching a value of USD 9.20 billion by 2032.

 

Key Trends in the Market

Protective fabric is a branch of technical textiles which is used to safeguard workers from environmental and workplace hazards such as heat, fire, blast, cuts, chemicals, or dirt. High-tech fibres such as aramid fibres, ultra-high tenacity polyethylene fibres, polyetherketone fibres, and polyphylene sulphide fibres, among others, are used to provide resistance to heat and a wide range of chemicals.

 

  • For protection from conductive heat, the thickness and density of fabric are extremely crucial considerations. As a result, to safeguard against any flame hazard, metallised fabrics are a preferred choice due to their high surface reflection along with electrical conductivity.
  • The protective fabrics market growth can be attributed to the rising use of the fabric in manufacturing industrial hand gloves. Such gloves offer protection against blows in heavy-duty applications, heat, and rough objects and ensure proper functioning due to their characteristics such as better grip and anti-slip.
  • One of the key protective fabrics market trends includes the robust growth of the defence and military sector. Military uniforms use protective fabrics engineered to take on the risks of thermal events during combat. These clothing are manufactured to provide protection, durability, as well as comfort in a variety of hostile environments.
  • The introduction of favourable government initiatives aimed at bolstering the safety of the workspace is also aiding the protective fabrics market demand. Moreover, the development of lightweight, tear-resistant, comfortable, heat-resistant, mechanical and chemical-resistant, durable, and multifunctional protective clothing is anticipated to aid the market expansion in the forecast period.

 

Market Analysis

By raw material, the market is divided into aramid, PBI, polyester, cotton fibre, polyolefin, and polyamide, among others. Based on type, the protective fabrics market segmentation includes fire and heat-resistant fabric, chemical resistant fabric, and UV resistant fabric.

Market Share by End Use

As per the protective fabrics market analysis, the demand for protective fabrics in the oil and gas sector is significantly increasing. Oil and gas professionals who work in a high-risk environment are exposed to the threat of explosion, toxic or corrosive chemicals, and fire, among others.

 

Stringent standards such as ANSI, ASTM, AATCC, OSHA, FAR 25.853 or MVSS 302, and Mil-Spec in the oil and gas sector are also aiding the market growth. Activities performed in this sector are considered ATEX zones, which implies that oil and gas workplaces have hazardous and explosive atmospheres due to the presence of flammable gases or combustible dust. These risks are covered through protective fabrics that are multi-standard and possess excellent mechanical performance.

 

Market Share by Region

North America represents a significant portion of the protective fabrics market share as the United States is one of the largest producers of oil and gas. The oil and gas sector workers perform operations in ATEX zones that are characterised as highly explosive areas which may generate electric arcs. As a result, the use of fireproof and anti-static fabrics is of paramount importance.

 

Further, the US chemical sector constitutes agricultural chemicals, basic chemicals, speciality chemicals, and consumer products. The country heavily exports chemicals, which increases the demand for PPE (personal protection equipment) manufactured out of multi-protective fabrics that exhibit great mechanical performance.

 

Competitive Landscape

Honeywell International Inc. is a company that is engaged in manufacturing in software and industrial solutions and commercialising technologies for aerospace, commercial real estate, performance materials and technologies, as well as safety and productivity. The common stock of the company is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and its ticker symbol is HON. Honeywell’s headquarters is situated in North Carolina, the United States.
