The global coated fabrics market is projected to grow from $21.6 billion in 2022 to $29.79 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.1%. The growth of the market is driven by the increasing demand for coated fabrics in a variety of applications, such as protective clothing, furniture, roofing, and industrial applications.
Coated fabrics are treated with polymers and rubber to improve their properties, such as water resistance, UV resistance, and resistance to dirt and oil. These fabrics are also known for their durability, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance.
The growing emphasis on safety measures and stringent industry regulations is also driving the growth of the coated fabrics market. This is especially evident in sectors such as automotive, chemicals, and oil & gas.
