Global 3D Fabrics Market Overview
The global 3D fabrics market size is forecast to reach US$9.3 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2022-2027. 3D fabrics can be defined as a type of fabric which is made in an arrangement of three-dimensional yarns that are primarily used in composite materials. 3D fabrics are generally classified into orthogonal weave structures, multilayer structures, angle interlocks, and others. 3D fabrics are generally made up of short natural fibers and cut filaments of synthetic yarns. Some of the key applications of 3D fabrics are in the aerospace and the automotive sector, where 3D fabrics with rubber coating is used. Thus, the growing demand for both the aerospace industry and the automotive industry are driving the global 3D fabrics market. In this market report, we will take an in-depth look at the global 3D fabrics industry outlook and analyze the market share of the global 3D fabrics top 10 companies within the forecast period of 2022-2027.
COVID-19 Impact
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many industries had suffered a tumultuous time, and it was no different for the global 3D fabrics market. Many governments across the globe implemented lockdown regulations and factories & production facilities in many sectors came to a halt. The supply chain was greatly disrupted as many businesses followed lockdown protocols. The global 3D fabrics market is essential in many different industry verticals such as the automotive industry, the aerospace & defense sector, the construction sector, and others. Due to a massive decline in various industry verticals, the demand for 3D fabrics also decreased during the pandemic. For instance, according to the International Air Transport Association, the demand for passenger air travel fell by 65% from 2019 to 2020 with international travel decreasing by 75.6% since 2019. Additionally, according to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the production of passenger vehicles decreased by 16.9% from 2019 to 2020. However, the pandemic has largely subsided as the world population undergoes vaccination and many governments have resumed production in their countries. As such, the demand for the global 3D fabrics market is expected to rise significantly within the forecast period of 2022-2027.

Global 3D Fabrics Market Analysis – By Type
Woven fabrics held the largest share with 42.1% in the global 3D fabrics market in 2021. 3D woven fabrics are defined as fabrics that are woven in various layers to have a three-dimensional structure. 3D woven fabrics can be classified into solid fabrics, that have a compound structure with regular or tapered geometry, hollow fabrics, that have uneven or even surfaces as well as tunnels in multi-direction, shell fabrics, that have a spherical or open box shell structure, and nodal fabrics, that have a tubular node structure. In 3D woven fabrics, generally multilayer, angle interlock and orthogonal weave architectures are the most widely used weave structures. These characteristics of 3D woven fabrics is anticipated to boost the growth of 3D fabrics market in the upcoming years.
Global 3D Fabrics Market Analysis – By End-Use Industry
The aerospace & defense sector held the largest share with 24.9% in the global 3D fabrics market in 2021. 3D fabrics are essential in making aircrafts lightweight, fail-proof and contributes to maximizing fuel efficiency. They increase impact resistance and fire resistance and are cost effective while also being high-quality. The rising growth of the aerospace industry and the increasing frequency of air traffic is also driving the demand for 3D fabrics. For instance, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), there was a 13.1% growth in capacity tonne kilometre (CTK) for global cargo transport in airlines in 2021. Additionally, according to the Boeing Commercial Market Outlook 2021-2040, 43,610 new aircrafts will be added to the global fleet by 2040 which accounts for a growth of 3.1%. Thus, with the inclining growth of the aerospace and defense sector, the global 3D fabrics market is also estimated to rise within the forecast period 2022-2027.
Global 3D Fabrics Market Analysis – By Geography
The Asia-Pacific region held the largest share with 44.7% in the global 3D fabrics market in 2021. In the Asia-Pacific countries, especially China and India dominates the aerospace industry and is one of the leading manufacturers of vehicles globally. According to Boeing Commercial Market Outlook 2021-2040, China is estimated to acquire 8,700 new aircrafts within the next 20 years. China, also, currently accounts for 13% of the worldwide fleet which is estimated to be 19.9% by 2040.

Global 3D Fabrics Market Drivers
The surge in demand for composites in the medical & health care sector:
In the last few years, there has been an increasing surge of composite textiles such as 3D fabrics in the medical sector. 3D fabrics are essential reinforcement materials in textile structural composites that require exceptional stability, durability and precise control for air and fluid flow. Furthermore, countries across the globe are increasing their investment in the health care sector, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the government of India aims to increase healthcare spending to 3% of the country’s GDP by 2022, primarily by introducing credit incentive programs worth US$ 6.8 billion to boost the health care sector. Additionally, according to the European Commission, companies in Europe have increased investments in research & development in the health care sector by 10.3% in 2021 while US-based companies increased their investment in research and development by 17.9%, especially during the Covid-19 crisis. As such, the rising growth of the health care sector is estimated to drive the global 3D fabrics market within the forecast period of 2022-2027.
Global 3D Fabrics Market Challenges
2D fabrics as an alternative:
While 3D fabrics are popular and have superior properties, 2D fabrics are a widely preferred alternative to 3D fabrics in a variety of situations. 2D fabrics are easier to manufacture and have a lower cost when compared to 3D fabrics. They also have lightweight and impact damage resistance properties, similar to 3D fabrics. Due to their desirable traits, 2D fabrics are often used as composites in the textile industry and are widely popular in the implementation of smart textiles. As such, one of the key challenges for the growth of the global 3D fabrics market is the presence of alternatives such as 2D fabrics.
