Waterproof Breathable Textiles (WBT) Market Scope and Market Size:

• On the basis of type, the market is segmented into closely woven fabrics, microporous membranes and coatings, hydrophilic membranes and coating, combination of microporous and hydrophilic membranes and coating, retroreflective microbeads, smart breathable fabrics, fabrics based on biomimetics, and others. In 2022, the closely woven fabrics are expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it has a minimum number of pores that do not allow water to leak while also making the fabric breathable, which helps to boost its demand in the forecast year.
• On the basis of raw material, the market is segmented into polyurethane, EPTFE, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, silk, wool, cotton, viscose rayon, high-density fabrics (HDF) and others. In 2022, the EPTFE is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it is a kind of tensile and durable material that is manufactured from 100% fluoropolymer which has a chemical as well as fire-resistant properties with a wide range of commercial applications, which helps to boost its demand in the forecast year.
• On the basis of form, the market is segmented into laminated and coated. Both the segment is further segmented by membrane into micro porous membranes and hydrophilic membranes. In 2022, the laminated segment is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it manages a balance between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of polymer systems and thus results in high and better water repulsion, which helps to boost its demand in the forecast year.
• On the basis of fabric type, the market is segmented into densely woven, membrane and coated. In 2022, the membrane segment is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it does not allow the water drops to penetrate due to its smaller pore size than a raindrop, which helps to boost its demand in the forecast year.
• On the basis of distribution channel, the market is segmented into offline and online. In 2022, the online segment is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it saves time to travel and visit stores, which helps to boost its demand in the forecast year.
• On the basis of application, the market is segmented into general clothing & accessories, sports goods, protective clothings, hometech, mobitech, healthcare, and others. In 2022, the sports goods application is expected to dominate the global waterproof breathable textiles (WBT) market as it is used in the manufacturing of various sports outfits such as active sportswear garments, leisurewear, swimwear, rainwear, mountaineering garments, sports footwear, trekking shoes, camping boots, and several others.
