The global waterproof
breathable textiles market
size is expected to reach USD 2.7
billion by 2027, expanding at a revenue-based CAGR of 5.7%, according to a new report by Grand View Research,
Inc. Increasing demand for comfortable and high-performance apparel that

reduce the future risks that would affect the business and to reduce the
manufacturers' cluster in a single country in order to smoothen the supply
chain. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
Waterproof breathable textiles are
lightweight, durable, and easy to dry and care, which makes them ideal for
outdoor activities. Increasing participation in activities such as camping,
fishing, hiking, hunting, kayaking, and boating is expected to propel the
demand for protective clothing and accessories such as raincoats, windbreakers,
tents, footwear, thereby impacting the industry positively.
Technological advancements in the
textile industry to produce apparel using biomimetic and smart breathable
fabrics are expected to contribute to market growth. Additionally, the
technological advancements in the areas of cost-effective manufacturing of
waterproof breathable textiles are expected to boost the demand for these
products.
