Application Segment Analysis
Clothing made from waterproof breathable textiles includes jackets, t-shirts, trousers, shorts, and waders. The growing usage of waterproof breathable textiles in footwear and clothing segments is projected to drive the market. The rising disposable income of consumers and breathability properties offered by waterproof breathable textiles are factors expected to contribute to the increasing preference for WBT in clothing and accessories. The sports goods application segment dominated the market. Waterproof breathable textiles are highly used in the production of various sports goods as they are durable and lightweight. The material also aids in managing sweat.
Fabric Segment Analysis
The densely woven waterproof breathable fabric is comprised of synthetic or cotton microfilament yarns with a compact weave structure. The fabric is highly resistant to tear and wear, on account of which the densely woven fabrics are highly preferred in heavy-duty applications including industrial work wear and military. Ventile fabrics are used in several applications including military, medical, and work wear. In the manufacturing process, combed yarns are weaved parallel to each other with no pores for water to penetrate. Membranes are thin films that are produced using polymeric material. They allow the passing of water vapor but are highly resistant to water penetration. Additionally, membrane-based textiles are highly efficient in maintaining the optimum body temperature thereby delivering superior comfort to consumers.

Raw Materials Segment Analysis
A shift in consumer trends toward maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle has led to an increased demand for active sportswear. This is projected to boost the demand for textiles that assure excellent breathability, which is, in turn, is projected to propel the usage of ePTFE for producing waterproof breathable textiles. The ePTFE was the second-largest raw material segment in industry, in terms of total valuation. When stretched into a thin film, PTFE can become a thin membrane with pores that are smaller than liquid water droplets. Therefore, it is impermeable to liquid water like snow or rain.
Latest Market Trends and Developments
Major industry participants are making considerable investments in the development of eco-friendly products to cater to the rising preference for sustainable apparel. Furthermore, rapid changes in consumer preferences in terms of fashion trends are nudging the manufacturers to strengthen their merchandising capabilities.
