Market Insights:
Clothing is one of the most important aspects of day-to-day life for every individual. People choose their clothing cautiously depending on factors such as age, individual style, price range, and availability. However, most of the clothing made from conventional fabric is unable to sustain adverse working conditions. Issues such as sweat, stains, odor, and the inability of conventional fabric apparel to cope with the changing climatic conditions can constrain the working performance of an individual in their daily activities. In order to overcome the aforementioned issues, apparel manufacturers have started using performance fabrics when developing performance wear. Performance wear provides comfort and functionalities such as breathability, anti-odor, etc. Therefore, performance wear is gaining prominence over conventional clothing, especially among athletes, working professionals, and casual and avid travelers. Active lifestyles, awareness of health and fitness, and a sense of style and comfort are aiding the growth of performance wear considerably. Furthermore, the need for efficient clothing during long journeys and exhausting journeys has encouraged consumers to adopt performance wear in their commutes without sacrificing style or comfort.

Specially designed performance fabrics can provide additional benefits, including abrasion resistance, waterproofing, flame resistance, UV protection, and thermal insulation. Such fabrics are extensively used for making uniforms and protective suits for individuals in defense and military applications, firefighting applications, manufacturing industries, and municipalities and sanitation applications, among others. In addition, the growing demand for sports and recreational activities such as mountaineering, trekking, hiking, and adventure sports has provided tremendous growth opportunities for performance wear manufacturers to flourish. Growing awareness regarding the benefits offered and consequent acceptance across several end-use applications bodes well for market growth. Companies are trying to deliver quality performance wear by committing to extensive testing to evaluate the apparel’s performance. With stiff competition among apparel manufacturing companies and continuous development in the field of performance fabrics, the market for performance wear is anticipated to grow significantly in the coming years.
