Global Elastomer Coated Fabrics Market: Trends & Developments
The global market for elastomer-coated fabrics is growing along with advancements in the interior designing domain. The growth in the need for high-quality materials in the construction sector has emerged as a leading driver for its growth. There is a thin line between using high-performance fabrics and natural fabrics, and this difference defines the essence of elastomer-coated fabric's demand development. The adoption of elastomer-coated materials for manufacturing soft pieces for internal seating has supported the market's growth. It is expected to maintain the scope for opportunities in the future. Furthermore, these fabrics' dirt-repelling properties have led to their manufacturing of sofa sets and other seating furniture worldwide. It is legit to expect that the market would expand to new untapped market territories over the forecast period.
Considering the current trend, increasing safety features in transport vehicles is expected to boost the elastomer-coated fabrics market in the transportation segment. Moreover, the increasing trend of stringent workers’ safety regulatory norms is expected to create growth opportunities for protective coating elastomers globally. However, the growing concerns about the environment will hinder the market’s growth. Moreover, the critical number of substitutes for elastomer-coated fabrics is expected to restrain the global elastomer-coated fabrics market's growth.
COVID-19 Impact on Market
The outburst of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the global economy in many terms, such as consumption, demand, supply chain disruption, and financial impact. COVID-19 has directly impacted the manufacturers worldwide' revenue and supply chain and shut down production facilities to reduce the risk of virus spread resulting in the limited global supply of elastomer-coated fabrics. The lockdown policies have limited the manufacturing facilities' operations and resulted in heavy losses to the supply chain companies. However, the companies are investing in the supply chain to enhance their productivity and reduce costs without compromising efficiency while meeting the revenue target by the end of the coming year.
