Cooling Fabrics Market Outlook - 2027
The global cooling fabrics market size was valued at $1.9 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2020 to 2027.
Cooling fabrics can be made from both natural and synthetic materials. Cooling fabric is an innovative product that provides cooling, warmth, and a skin-like soft texture. Cooling fabrics provide convenience for customers by having a cooling effect as it helps to evaporate sweat and prevents the fabric from sticking to the body. Vital benefits of cooling fabrics include the circulation of moisture and controlled evaporation. These fabrics are distinct from other textiles used for thermoregulation.
The global demand for cooling fabrics is rising due to people's knowledge of comfortable materials for clothing. Cooling fabrics are witnessing rapid growth in the sports industry in countries such as the U.S., China, Brazil, Russia, and Malaysia. In these countries, sportsmen are increasingly becoming aware about the need for comfortable clothes, which consequently raises the degree of comfort during sports competitions. In addition, a significant number of athletes prefer more desirable materials for their garments. In the expected timeframe, the rising knowledge among these individuals will continue to act as a major driver for the global market for cooling fabrics. In addition, the demand for cooling fabrics is expected to rise rapidly in emerging economies during the forecast era, with rising economic growth, evolving lifestyles and increasing sports culture. However, a significant number of individuals refrain from purchasing such clothing due to the high cost of the product, which restricts cooling fabrics market growth.
