Global Breathable Films Market Size and Volume Estimates - Forecasts To 2027 By End-use landscape (consumer profile), application (battery separators, sports apparel, hygiene, healthcare, building & construction, industrial protective apparel, packaging), raw material (polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene) and Region - Global Market Estimates
Report Description:
The breathable films market was valued at USD 3.12 billion in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 6.10 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.31% from 2017 to 2027. Breathable films are extensively used in the manufacturing of diapers, medical drapes, patient gowns, gloves, operating sheets, and masks among others.
End-use companies such as Kimberly-Clark and Procter & Gamble are investing extensively on the manufacturing and sale of adult incontinence products, which presents a huge opportunity to breathable film suppliers. The report provides a detailed list of end-users operating across the world. The end-use landscape includes consumer contact details, geographical presence, revenue, product portfolio, organic, and inorganic growth strategies among others.
Breathable films are permeable to gases, which means it allows the passage of water vapour through the film. However, these films are impermeable and offer excellent resistance to liquid flow. The hygiene segment occupied more than 35% of the breathable film’s market share in 2016. On the other hand, the application of breathable films in battery separators also plays a significant role.
Rising healthcare expenditure coupled with the growing attention given to maintain a sanitary and healthy lifestyle is projected to boost the demand for breathable films over the coming years. Adult incontinence products are expected to grow at a higher rate as compared to baby diapers on account of declining birth rates. Microporous films are also preferred in the manufacturing of industrial protective apparel, construction wraps, food packaging solutions, and sports apparel.
The reports entails key drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges that impact the breathable films market. An in-depth discussion on the below points is provided in the report
Polyethylene and polypropylene are widely used as raw materials in the manufacture of microporous films. Polyethylene breathable films are preferred as they offer excellent mechanical and chemical resistant properties. On the other hand, polypropylene films offer high moisture barrier & tensile strength. It is desirable in products that require sterilization at high temperatures. The polypropylene segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.39% over the forecast period (2017 to 2027).
Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR of 7.19% as well as occupy the largest share in the breathable films market by 2027. High birth rates coupled with growing disposable income is projected to increase the use of diapers, wipes, and other sanitary products. Growing consumption of breathable films in the food packaging, waterproof breathable textile, and construction sector is also anticipated to boost the market growth.
The growing demand for waterproof apparel used in general clothing, sports products, industrial protective apparel, and other accessories is anticipated to increase the use of breathable membranes in this industry.
