TMR_Research_Reports_2017 Waterproof Breathable Textiles Market By 2024 | Page 2

REPORT DESCRIPTION
Waterproof breathable textiles (WBT), as the name depicts, are employed in the manufacture of garments that are
weather-proof, i.e., which prevent the passage of water and heat from the fabric. These textiles prevent both penetration
and absorption of water, unlike water-repellent fabrics that only delay water penetration. These waterproof breathable
textiles permit the flow of water vapor (perspiration) from inside the clothing to the outer atmosphere. However, these
textiles prevent penetration of heat or water from outside to inside the fabric. The waterproof breathable textiles market
can be bifurcated on the basis of product type into densely woven, coated, and membranes. On the basis of end-user
industry, the market for waterproof breathable textiles can be segmented into garments, footwear, and gloves.
The densely woven type of waterproof breathable textiles is manufactured by combining and piling up cotton yarns
together. When exposed to water, pores of these densely woven fabric are swollen, thus reducing the size of pores in the
fabric. This reduction in size of pores requires very high pressure to permit the passage of water through the fabric.

For a highly dense type of waterproof breathable textiles, the standard pore size of is about 10 μm, while that of
conventional fabric is 60 μm. The membranes type of water breathable textile is an absolutely thin film made from
polymer. It is designed in such way that it prevents passage of liquid water into the fabric and only allows penetration of
water vapor through it. This type has a thickness of about 10 μm and possesses lamination coating to impart the
necessary physical strength. Materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer and polyvinylidene fluoride
(PVDF) are primarily employed during the manufacturing process. These hydrophilic membranes are thin films of
chemically modified polyurethane or polyester. One surface is coated with polyurethane in coated waterproof breathable
fabrics.
Waterproof Breathable Textiles Market: Trends and Opportunities
The membranes type of waterproof breathable textile exhibits properties such protection from UV radiation, airborne
pollutants, and temperature variations. High demand for membranes type of waterproof breathable textile is expected to
propel the market in the near future. Increasing demand for high performance and extremely comfortable fabrics is
estimated to drive the global market for waterproof breathable textiles in the next few years. Rising disposable income and
increasing awareness regarding fitness are expected to propel demand for waterproof breathable textiles in developing
economies such as China and India.
