The global cooling fabrics market size is estimated to be USD 2.0 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2020 to 2025. Increasing demand for sports apparel, protective wearing, and growing research & development for cooling fabrics are the main factors that have led to the growth of the cooling fabrics market. Initial investment and high manufacturing cost of cooling fabrics are restraining the development of the cooling fabrics market.

The synthetic segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the cooling fabrics market during the forecast period
Based on type, the synthetic segment is the largest type in 2020. This segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Synthetic cooling fabrics market account for the larger market share owing to better moisture-wicking properties and provides an enhanced cooling effect to the wearer compared to natural cooling fabrics. Synthetic fabrics have other qualities, such as high strength, endurance, high elasticity, and smooth texture, which are sometimes not achievable with natural fabrics.

The knitted textile type is expected to lead the cooling fabrics market during the forecast period
Based on textile type, knitted cooling fabrics are expected to account for the largest share of the cooling fabrics market in 2020. The knitted textile type has a high degree of elasticity due to the looseness of the fabric yarn when compared to woven fabrics. The knitted fabrics are more comfortable to the wearer due to its properties, such as better breathability and fit the shape of the body in the best possible way. Thus, knitted fabrics are used majorly for manufacturing sports apparel, which triggers the demand for knitted cooling fabrics during the forecast period.

Sports apparel is expected to lead the cooling fabrics market during the forecast period
Based on the application, sports apparel accounted for the largest share of the cooling fabrics market in 2019. This growth is mainly attributed to the increasing use of cooling fabrics while performing sports activities without hampering the performance of the wearer. The cooling fabrics increase the skin breathability of the wearer by letting the heat escape from the body, providing a cool and comfortable feel.


Based on the region, North America is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the cooling fabrics market between 2020 and 2025
The North America cooling fabrics market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2020 and 2025.
