Functional apparels refer to garments with enhanced aesthetic, comfort and protection functionalities. Some commonly available functional apparel includes athleisure, seamless wear, sports-functional and medical-functional clothing. They are usually manufactured using synthetic materials, such as nylon, viscose and polyester, that exhibit temperature-regulating, water- and oil- resistant, anti-static, quick-drying and performance boosting properties. These apparels protect the wearer from harsh winds, temperatures, chemicals, microbes and ultraviolet (UV) radiations. They also provide enhanced breathability of fabric, wicking, grip and stretchability and can aid in improving blood flow and reducing muscle fatigue and cramping. As a result, they are widely used to manufacture geotextiles, personal protective wear and medical, military, sports and leisure apparel.
Functional Apparel Market Trends:
The increasing participation in sports-related activities across the globe is among the key factors driving the market growth. With the rising health consciousness among the masses, there is an emerging trend of adopting physically active lifestyles that have resulted in the escalating demand for activewear and other functional apparel. Fitness influencers are also collaborating with sports- and athleisure wear brands through social media and e-commerce platforms to reach a broader consumer base. Various product innovations, such as the launch of variants with additional padding to improve blood circulation and oxygen delivery, maintain even pressure on the skin and prevent infections, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also using advanced nano and microfibers that absorb sweat from the body and facilitate evaporation to ensure optimal hygiene for the wearer. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities, along with rapid urbanization, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
