The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable textile materials, rising adoption of advanced composite films, expansion of medical textile applications, growing focus on recyclable film solutions, increasing integration of smart textile technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of breathable and waterproof film structures, rising demand for lightweight and flexible textile films, growing use of medical-grade functional films, expansion of high-performance sportswear applications, enhanced focus on multi-layer film engineering.

The increase in construction activities is expected to propel the growth of textile films going forward. Textile films find extensive applications in architectural membranes, roofing systems, facades, and interior design within the construction sector. Their lightweight nature, coupled with properties such as energy efficiency, sustainability, and versatility, makes them ideal for various construction applications. The demand for innovative and technologically advanced solutions in smart building technologies, as well as the global emphasis on infrastructure development, further propels the adoption of textile films in the construction industry. For instance, in March 2023, according to a report published by Oxford Economics, a UK-based economic information services company, Global construction output is projected to increase by more than US$4.2 trillion over the next 15 years, rising from US$9.7 trillion in 2022 to US$13.9 trillion by 2037. This growth will be primarily driven by major construction markets, including China, the US, and India. Therefore, the increase in construction activities is driving the growth of the textile films market.

Major companies operating in the textile films market are adopting new technologies to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in April 2023, Justrite, a US-based, industrial safety solutions provider launched PetroPad Smart Polymer Spill Pad to absorb and permanently solidify hydrocarbons like oil, diesel and gas. The geotextile fabric of the PetroPad contains a one-of-a-kind polymer technology that can convert dangerous hydrocarbons into a substance resembling rubber that is not hazardous. The unique polymer blend used in the PetroPad is designed to trap hydrocarbons in a permanent manner while permitting rainwater to pass through without becoming contaminated. This innovative spill-control technology provides a significantly greater oil capacity, reduces the costs associated with waste disposal, and eliminates the possibility of an environmental disaster.
