Silicone Coated Fabrics Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Base Fabric(Fiberglass, Polyester, Polyamide, Others.), By Application(Protective Clothing, Industrial Fabric, Clothing Fabric, Others), By End-Use(Industrial, Consumers, Automotive, Others), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Global Silicone Coated Fabrics Market size was valued at USD 5.51 billion in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 5.73 billion in 2023 to USD 7.85 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The rise of the industrial sector, the rising demand for protective gear, and the expanding use of Silicone textiles in the furniture and upholstery industries are the main factors driving the demand for Silicone fabrics globally. When compared to uncoated fabrics, Silicone coating has many benefits in terms of strength, air porosity, deployment, and lifespan. Due to these benefits, airbag producers and automakers are switching from using uncoated fabric to Silicone-coated fabric for creating airbags. Airbag deployment generates heat, which raises the possibility of burn injuries to passengers. The airbag can help dissipate/contain this heat without ripping or tearing during deployment by being Silicone-coated. When compared to alternatives like neoprene coating, Silicone-coated airbags offer additional advantages including thermal resistance and airbag protection in addition to speedy deflation after the peak inflated pressure is reached. Additionally, Silicone's exceptional compatibility with common airbag textiles like nylon enables it to build a barrier against moisture and maintain chemical inertness. These benefits are anticipated to increase demand for Silicone-coated fabric automotive airbags. Thus, it is anticipated that in the next years, the Silicone textiles market for automotive airbags application would experience strong growth due to safety requirements, rising installation rates, and rising demand for frontal, curtain/side, and knee airbags.

The availability of inexpensive alternatives, however, is anticipated to restrain the silicone coated fabrics market expansion for Silicone fabrics during the anticipated period. The Silicone textiles market is also anticipated to experience growth during the forecast period as a result of Silicone fabrics' expanding use in the medical and healthcare industries.

US Silicone Coated Fabrics Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
