The expanding clothing industry is projected to drive the growth of the textile coating market in the future. The clothing industry encompasses the manufacturing of textile-based garments and apparel. Textile coatings provide material layers that adhere to textile structures. A typical formulation for textile coatings usually consists of polymeric binders and other additives (such as colorants, adhesion promoters, biocides, plasticizers, etc.) that are applied to textile fabrics through a spreading process in the form of a solution, dispersion, paste, or a similar method. For example, in November 2023, the UK Fashion and Textile Association, a trade organization based in the UK, reported that the UK fashion and textile industry contributed £62 billion ($80.7 billion) to the UK GDP, supported 1.3 million jobs nationwide, and generated over £23 billion ($28.98 billion) in tax revenue. Hence, the expanding clothing sector is anticipated to boost the textile coating market.

Leading companies in the textile coatings market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as bio-based textile coatings, to improve sustainability, lessen environmental impact, and address the rising demand for eco-friendly materials. Bio-based textile coatings consist of protective and functional layers applied to textiles that originate from renewable biological resources, including plants, algae, or other natural substances. For example, in November 2023, Covestro AG, a materials company based in Germany, introduced Impranil CQ DLU, a partially bio-based polyurethane dispersion for textile coatings that contains approximately 34% plant-derived carbon. This innovative product retains the performance characteristics of its predecessor, Impranil DLU, including excellent hydrolysis resistance and tensile strength, while promoting sustainability by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Suitable for a range of applications such as sports equipment and car interiors, Impranil CQ DLU can be applied using various coating methods, showcasing Covestro's dedication to eco-friendly solutions in the textile sector.
