Protective textile refers to garments and other fabrics developed to sustain harsh environmental conditions while providing protection and safety to the user. These garments protect the user from extreme heat, radiation, electrostatic, and mechanical forces, which may otherwise lead to injury. Protective textile is used by personnel in defense and military, emergency services, hospitals, manufacturing, and space exploration, among others.
Furthermore, the increasing focus on health and workplace safety in manufacturing facilities and medical centers. People are becoming more aware of the need to protect themselves against heat, flames, microorganisms, and other hazardous work environments, driving the demand for protective textiles and other wearables. Additionally, the demand for performance clothing is increasing in industries such as oil fields and chemical production facilities, which will likely drive the protective textile market growth in the forecast period.
The market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the outbreak of the virus has led to a surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE). The medical industry has been particularly affected, with healthcare workers requiring PPE to protect themselves from exposure to the virus, resulting in a shortage of supplies in many parts of the world. Other industries, such as manufacturing, have also seen increased demand for protective textiles as workers require PPE to protect themselves from the virus. As a result, many countries have increased their production of protective textiles to meet the growing demand. The high demand for protective textiles will continue even after the pandemic subsides as people prioritize health and safety in their workplaces and daily lives.
