Global Rubber Coated Fabric Market Size Set to Grow at Steady CAGR to Touch USD 8.25 Billion by 2029

Published | 28 September 2023

Global rubber coated fabric market is flourishing because of increasing safety measures in transportation sector and stringent regulatory requirement for worker safety.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the global rubber coated fabric market size at USD 6.14 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the global rubber coated fabric market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.3% reaching a value of USD 8.25 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the global rubber coated fabric market include an increasing adoption of rubber-coated fabrics in the production of military and protective apparel. In the automotive sector, original equipment manufacturing (OEM), particularly in airbags, represents the primary application for these coated fabrics. Notably, they find uses in automotive interiors, headliners, convertible tops, pickup truck bed covers, heavy-duty truck covers, and various protective covers. The expansion of global rubber coated fabric market is also attributed to the growing utilization of these materials in industrial products like conveyor belts and PTFE tapes. Additionally, there's an expected boost from the rising acceptance of coated fabrics as cost-effective alternatives to leather in upholstery and trim applications. Market growth is further driven by fluctuating raw material prices, strict environmental regulations, and ongoing technological innovations aimed at cost reduction and production efficiency enhancement. However, availability of low cost substitute and release of pollutant during manufacturing process are anticipated to restrain the overall market growth during the period in analysis.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Rubber Coated Fabric Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the global rubber coated fabric market. Various end-use industries, including aerospace, automotive, and marine, witnessed a negative influence on demand. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) faced operational challenges, operating at reduced or zero capacity, primarily due to disruptions in the supply chain. These disruptions encompassed delays or non-arrival of raw materials, disruptions in financial transactions, and an increase in absenteeism among production line personnel, consequently leading to diminished demand for rubber coated fabric products. Also, the automotive industry, a significant consumer of rubber coated fabrics, witnessed substantial repercussions as non-essential businesses were compelled to close during the pandemic outbreak. With a dwindling demand for automobiles, production came to an abrupt standstill. As reported by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, global automotive production plummeted by 16% in 2020.

Global Rubber Coated Fabric Market – By Type

Based on type, the global rubber coated fabric market is bifurcated into Natural and Synthetic segments. The synthetic segment holds a higher share in the global rubber coated fabric market by type. Synthetic rubbers, such as polychloroprene, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and butyl rubber, exhibit superior performance compared to natural rubbers in two significant aspects: thermal stability and resistance to oils and related substances. Synthetic rubber surpasses natural rubber in several key properties, including resistance to abrasion, chemicals, fluids, ozone, electrical heat, and the effects of aging. Also, many synthetic rubber variants, including polychloroprene, EPDM, and butyl rubber, possess flame-resistant qualities, rendering them suitable for insulation in electrical devices. Consequently, the combination of these advantageous properties in synthetic rubber makes it a highly effective choice for coated fabrics, thereby driving growth within the market.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in the global rubber coated fabric market include Trelleborg AB, GUMOTEX Coating, Continental (ContiTech), RAVASCO (Indus Belts), Zenith Rubber, Fairprene (Alpha Engineered Composites), Chemprene, White Cross Rubber Products, Arville, Kurwa Rubber & Valves, Bobet, Fabri Cote, Vikamshi, and Colmant Coated Fabrics.
