Construction Fabrics Global Market Report 2024

The construction fabrics market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.23 billion in 2023 to $5.6 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be ascribed to several contributing factors, including a surge in infrastructure development, heightened environmental considerations, trends toward urbanization, government regulatory initiatives, and the pursuit of cost-effective solutions.

The construction fabrics market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.14 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the integration of smart fabrics, an increased emphasis on resilience, expanding developments in emerging regions, innovations in sustainable materials, and the resurgence of large-scale projects. Noteworthy trends expected during this period encompass the digitalization of construction processes, heightened focus on customization and design flexibility, collaborative efforts in research and development, the utilization of high-strength and lightweight fabrics, as well as the integration of smart fabrics and technology.

The anticipated surge in construction activities is poised to fuel the expansion of the construction fabrics market in the foreseeable future. Employing advanced techniques, materials, and technologies, the construction sector is actively engaged in the development of buildings, infrastructure, and various structures. Utilization of construction textiles is gaining prominence due to their lighter weight compared to traditional building materials, facilitating easier shipping and installation. These fabrics contribute to the construction industry by offering lightweight, durable, and versatile materials for building and construction purposes. Notably, in February 2023, the United States Census Bureau reported an estimated construction spending of $1,844.1 billion, marking an increase from $1,753.1 billion in February 2022. Furthermore, construction spending for the first two months of 2023 amounted to $260.8 billion, reflecting growth from $246.1 billion during the same period in 2022. Additionally, in March 2023, the number of privately owned housing units approved by building permits in February reached 1,524,000 on a seasonally adjusted yearly basis, indicating a 13.8% increase from the corrected January rate of 1,339,000. Consequently, the upswing in construction activities is a driving force behind the growth of the construction fabrics market.

The ascending trajectory of infrastructure investment is anticipated to propel the expansion of the construction fabrics market in the coming years. Infrastructure investment involves the allocation of funds towards the development, enhancement, and maintenance of essential physical structures and systems that support economic activities. Elevated levels of infrastructure spending stimulate research and development efforts in the construction fabrics sector, leading to the creation of innovative materials with improved properties. Examples include fabrics with heightened strength, durability, fire resistance, chemical resistance, and self-healing capabilities. Notably, in April 2023, the World Bank reported a noteworthy development, with private participation in infrastructure (PPI) commitments reaching $91.7 billion across 263 projects - a 23% increase from the previous year. This increase was particularly notable in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a 16% rise, and in East Asia and the Pacific, with a 17% increase. South Asia also witnessed significant private sector investments, reaching $13.9 billion in 2022. Consequently, the upsurge in infrastructure investment emerges as a key driver for the growth of the construction fabrics market.

Technological advancements emerge as a prominent trend gaining traction in the construction fabric market, with companies actively incorporating new technologies to maintain their market position. In October 2022, DuPont de Nemours Inc., a US-based chemical corporation, collaborated with Seaman Corporation, a US-based high-performance textiles manufacturer, to introduce an innovative Shelter-Rite high light transmission construction fabric. Crafted from translucent Tedlar PVF (Polyvinyl fluoride) film, this architectural fabric caters to construction projects requiring natural light, such as sports stadiums, event venues, and greenhouses. Tedlar, known for its high weather resistance and dirt-shedding qualities, enhances the longevity and aesthetic appeal of architectural fabric structures even in challenging conditions, offering protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture, rain, and pollution.

Prominent players in the construction fabric market are strategically embracing partnerships geared towards recycling industrial waste, transforming it into environmentally sustainable building materials, and gaining a competitive edge. Such collaborations are centered on the development of sustainable materials that contribute to waste reduction, promote circularity, and foster a more environmentally friendly construction industry. In November 2023, Hayleys Fabric, a Sri Lanka-based textile manufacturing company, joined forces with Pro Green Laboratories of the University of Moratuwa, a Sri Lanka-based university, to upcycle industrial waste into environmentally friendly construction materials. Launched under the FaBriEco banner, this partnership aims to create eco-friendly, cost-effective products for the local market using dye waste, fabric waste, and fly ash generated in the textile industry. Leveraging Pro Green Laboratories' research, which includes patents for sustainable products such as mud concrete blocks and polymerized self-compacting mud blocks, Hayleys Fabric seeks to revolutionize waste management practices by recycling hazardous and toxic waste into sustainable building materials.

In June 2021, Solmax International Inc., a Canada-based geosynthetics manufacturer, successfully acquired TenCate Geosynthetics for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition facilitated Solmax's expansion of product offerings and bolstered its capabilities in research and development, manufacturing, and distribution. Additionally, Solmax gained access to TenCate's expertise in environmental solutions, geotextiles, and erosion control, enhancing its ability to cater to customer needs. TenCate Geosynthetics, a US-based company specializing in geosynthetics and industrial fabrics, manufactures a range of products, including geotextiles, geogrids, geocomposites, and erosion control solutions.
