Market OverviewElastomer coated fabrics are produced as a result of the coating of polymeric materials on both sides of the fabric surface with the help of an adhesive agent. These fabrics are known for their unique properties such as adhesion, flexibility, and superior resistance to water, UV radiation, abrasion, dirt, and oil. Elastomer coated fabric, mainly silicone coated fabric, is usually used in automobile industries to produce airbags and protective covers, among others. These fabrics also have a variety of applications in various end-use industries such as construction, sports & leisure, and defense owing to their mechanical strength and flexibility. For instance, thermoplastic polyurethane is added to polyvinyl chloride in the preparation of poly blends to improve its abrasion resistance and low-temperature flexibility. The global market is expected to be driven by increased demand for elastomer coated fabrics in end-use industries, such as automobile and construction. This is primarily attributed to the increased use of silicone and thermoplastic polyurethane fabrics in the production of automotive body side moldings, interiors, instrument panels, seat covers, and drive belts on account of their properties such as abrasion resistance and flexibility. The surging demand for waterproof materials in the construction industry is likely to fuel the demand for elastomeric coated fibers in the coming years. In addition to this, the increasing consumption of rubber-coated fabrics in the production of power tools and sports goods such as sportswear, gymnasium mats, and tarpaulins is further boosting the demand for elastomer coated fabrics market globally. Furthermore, the increased use of elastomer coated fabrics in fabric coating industries coupled with innovative advancements in the production of synthetic elastomeric materials with superior properties are further creating lucrative opportunities for the players operating in elastomer coated fabrics market. However, the stringent regulations reuse of solvent in the production of elastomeric coated fabrics is likely to hamper its growth in the global market. Also, the readily available substitutes such as uncoated fabrics and leather that exhibit comparable performance characteristics are expected to pose a limitation to the elastomer coated fabric market.
