The Construction Fabrics Market is Projected to Reach USD 12.8 Billion by 2034
In the world of man-made fibres (MMF), India ranks as the second-largest producer after China. However, it's in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region where the construction fabrics market is truly making waves. With a significant 45.8% share of the global market, valued at approximately USD 3.0 billion in 2024, the APAC region is leading the charge[1].
The Global Construction Fabrics Market is projected to grow from approximately USD 6.7 billion in 2024 to around USD 12.8 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% over this period[1][3]. This growth is driven by a combination of factors, including rapid urbanization and infrastructure expansion, the rising adoption of sustainable and durable materials, and strong demand for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) fabrics[2][4].
The APAC region is expected to experience the fastest volume growth, rising at around 9% annually, thanks to its rapid infrastructure development[2]. Key drivers of this growth include China's large-scale projects, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and urban redevelopment, and India's initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission and expansions in metro rail and airports[1].
Government initiatives, like the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (MITRA) scheme, have played a significant role in accelerating growth in the construction fabrics sector. The MITRA scheme aims to establish seven mega textile parks across India, further boosting the industry[2].
Innovations in eco-friendly fabrics, such as recyclable PTFE and ETFE, are driving adoption in tensile architecture, green roofs, and erosion control. Companies like HIRAOKA are working on solar-reflective fabrics to reduce urban heat island effects in large-scale construction projects, and Erez has introduced thermoplastic-coated fabrics with high tensile strength and weather resistance, targeting modular construction and inflatable structures[1].
Hightex has developed PTFE-coated glass fiber fabrics for long-span roofing and facades, offering superior weather resistance and thermal insulation. Dongwon Industry Co. has expanded its portfolio of high-performance construction fabrics, focusing on UV-resistant and fire-retardant materials[1].
Notable companies like ENDUTEX have launched innovative PVC-coated fabrics with self-cleaning and anti-microbial properties, aligning with the growing environmental awareness and green building initiatives in the region[2].
In FY2022, textile and apparel exports from India totaled around USD 44.4 billion, with the construction fabrics segment being a key growth driver in the country's technical textiles industry[1]. As the APAC region continues to lead the global construction fabrics market, it's clear that the future of this industry is bright, with a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period (2025-2034)[1][3].
