Market Dynamics:

Drivers:

Growing demand from the construction industry

The growing demand for technical textiles from the construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. In the construction sector, these products are used for various purposes such as interior construction, insulations, proofing materials, air conditioning, façade foundation system, concrete reinforcements and others. The increasing population and growing urbanization in the countries like China, India, and Vietnam. There is a growing demand for permanent housing, in turn, drives the demand for technical textiles. 

The Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) published the 2018 Revision of World Urbanization Prospects, which states that future rises in the size of the world's urban population are anticipated to be heavily concentrated in a small number of nations. India, China, and Nigeria will together be responsible for 35% of the expected increase in the global metropolitan population between 2018 and 2050. India is expected to have 416 million more metropolitan residents by 2050, followed by China with 255 million and Nigeria with 189 million. Thus, this is expected to drive market expansion over the forecast period.
