The industrial protective fabric market is expected to witness robust growth by 2027 owing to the escalating demand for protective garments across diverse end-use verticals across the globe.

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, an unprecedented requirement for industrial protective fabrics was reported for different applications, especially in healthcare settings. Protective clothing became crucial to prevent the transmission of the virus through human contact, which has notably propelled market demand.

Furthermore, industry players undertook several initiatives to address the mounting requirement for personal protective equipment (PPE) to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby enhancing market dynamics globally. For instance, in April 2020, chemicals giant DuPont launched its new program dubbed ???#TyvekTogether???, wherein it increased the availability of Tyvek personal protective garments. The initiative was part of the company's efforts to help prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and protect healthcare professionals and other frontline workers.

The industrial protective fabric market has been segmented on the basis of raw material, application, and region. With respect to raw material, the market has further been categorized into aramid, cotton fibers, polybenzimidazole fiber (PBI), polyester, polyamide, and polyolefins (polypropylene and polyethylene).

The industrial protective fabric market from the polybenzimidazole fiber (PBI) sub-segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 8.5% through the forecast period. The polypropylene polyolefins segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 9.5% while the polyethylene polyolefins segment is projected to grow at above 10% CAGR over the assessment timeframe.
