Increasing demand for advanced automotive interiors and need for superior vehicles is also contributed to the market growth in APAC region. Furthermore, the growing consumer and e-commerce sectors is also contributing for the growth of Textile Coatings Market share across the APAC region. Whereas, growing transportation sector, changing lifestyle, and rise in disposables income also propels the growth of this market in APAC region.

Textile Coatings offer good chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, resistance to heat, and unique electrical properties that makes it extensively useful for various end-use industry such as automotive, construction, petrochemical, and food industry. With the increasing rate of industrialization, the number of manufacturing procedures and policy has increased by many proportions, as a result of which personal protective equipment companies are focusing on developing specific protective wear with a view to ensuring maximum worker’s health. Moreover, the growing uses of fabrics, tapes, and sleeving in the aerospace, automotive, and petrochemical markets as heat shields, curtains, linings, insulation, and blankets further drives the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growth in the medical sector is also contributing to the growth of the Textile Coatings Market during the forecast period. Moreover, growing demand for geotextiles from civil engineering sector also contributed to the market growth. As, Geotextile delivers several properties such as separation, filtration, reinforcement, drainage and protection.

The textiles industry has made a major contribution to the national economy in terms of net foreign exchange earnings and contribution to the GDP. In India, Exports of textiles increased by 3% and reached to USD 41.67 billion in 2014-15. Whereas, Textiles exports from India will reach to $ 185 billion by 2024-25. The major factods driving the growth of the textile industry in India are the availability of low cost and skilled manpower, availability of large varieties of cotton fiber, emerging retail industry and malls, fast growing synthetic fiber industry, and growing focus towards branded readymade garments. Moreover, the Government of India (GoI) has started promotion of its ‘India Handloom’ on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to connect with customers, especially youth, in order to promote high quality handloom products under ‘India Handloom Brand’. Additionally, The Ministry of Textiles also launched Technology Mission on Technical Textiles (TMTT). Thus, the growth of textile industry also drives the growth of Textile Coatings Market.

Smart textiles are designed and developed to incorporate technologies that provide increased functionality to the wearer. Immense possibilities with the Internet of Things (IoT) and increasing demand for connectivity from end use industries such as textile, health care, defense, military, sports, and clothing are the factors driving the growth of the smart textile market. In the present scenario, smart textiles have already proven their worth across medical, sports, and military applications wherein they control body weight, temperature, and external vibrations to improve the performance of a sportsperson. On top of that, the growing need for supportive and performance-enhancing garments has led to the introduction of smart textiles in the military sector. Inclination of the military in this market can be determined by the fact that U.S Air Force is all set to invest $237 million on the uniforms, which is scheduled to be complete by April 2021. Additionally, in Many 2019, Trelleborg’s debuted an engineered smart textile Dartex® Endurance polyurethane coating fabrics operation for or the healthcare and medical industry at its booth at Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany.

Several organizations such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, and others have set various regulations and policies to reduce carbon footprint and VOC emissions from coatings. For instance, the control technique guidelines (CTGs) developed by EPA, which set limits on VOC emissions from coatings for various industries, particularly in areas that exceed certain levels of lower atmospheric ozone. In January 2018, the EU published the German version of DIN EN 16516, a test standard that uniformly regulates the emission measurement of construction products including coatings. In Canada, regulations such as Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Concentration Limits for Architectural Coatings Regulations (SOR/2009-264) and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Concentration Limits for Certain Products Regulations, has set limits on VOC emission from coatings. In addition, in the eastern United States, the Ozone Transport Committee (OTC) makes environmental policy for thirteen states on limiting VOC emission from coatings, including New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey Maryland and the Washington D.C. Growing environmental concern is resulting in more stringent regulations limiting VOC emission from coatings, which is may hinder market growth. 

The emergence of COVID-19, which is declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, is having a noticeable impact on global economic growth. According to International Monetary Fund, the global GDP is expected to decline by 0.3% in 2020. According to World Trade Organization (WTO), global trade volumes are projected to decline between 13% and 32% in 2020 as a result of the economic impact of COVID-19. The pandemic is affecting operations of various industries such as automotive, oil and gas, construction, aerospace, and others, as most of countries have issued “stay at home guidance” i.e., lockdown. And it is expected that the outbreak of COVID-19 will be seen in the whole year of 2020, and a few months in 2021. As textile coatings products are extensively used in these industries, the declining operations of these industries is directly affecting Textile Coatings Market growth.
