Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Share: By Polymer Type
Based on the polymer type, the market is segmented as vinyl polymer, polyurethane, polyethylene, and other polymers. The polyurethane coated fabric segment held the largest share of the market in 2019, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period. Superior properties such as transparency, elasticity, and resistance to oil, grease, and abrasion make them the preferred choice if there is a requirement for unusual impact and abrasion resistance. Major applications are rainwear, waterproof protective clothing, upholstery, luggage, footwear, glove, waterproof mattress cover, inflatable boats, and recreational items, among others. Since they protect both primary antioxidants as well as the polymers during processing, hydrolytically stable phosphites & phosphonites are generally the most frequently used polymer stabilizers.
Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Share: By Application Type
Based on the application type, the polymer coated fabrics market is segmented as transportation, protective clothing, industrial, roofing, awnings, & canopies, furniture & seating, and others. The transportation segment dominates the market, owing to the increasing use of polymer coated fabrics in various transportation applications such as interior, exterior, airbags, seatbelts, and covers. In the automotive industry, frontal airbags are considered as a major life-saving technology. Increasing installation of airbags in various vehicles due to stringent government regulations of vehicle safety and security measures are the major factors impacting the market positively. Rising demand for passenger and commercial vehicles resulting in the expansion of the automotive industry is another factor contributing towards the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Polymer Coated Fabrics Market Share: By Region
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest as well as the fastest-growing polymer coated fabrics market during the forecast period, with China, Japan, and India being the major countries with lucrative growth opportunities. The growth of the market is driven by the growth of the transportation industry in various key economies, which is boosting the demand for automobiles. Rapid industrialization in China and India, accompanied by the increasing incorporation of safety features in industrial segments is also likely to drive the market. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Market Scope & Segmentation
Polymer coated fabrics, commonly known as technical textiles, are textile materials that are treated and glazed with various types of polymers, in order to enhance mechanical properties such as elasticity, elongation, fiber strength, and wear resistance of the textile. In order to yield a range of beneficial structural properties, primarily, weather and corrosion resistance, oil and dirt impermeability, and marked fabric abrasion, the coating of textile surfaces can be done with one or more than one type of polymers. Profuse feasible combinations with other polymer materials is one of the key factors creating lucrative opportunities in the technical fabric industry. Polymer coated fabrics find widespread applications in a broad spectrum of industries, such as aerospace & defense, automotive, electronics, chemical processing, and geotextile, owing to specific performance properties they possess.
