Market Dynamics

Innovation in Performance Textiles Driving Active Insulation Adoption

The advancements in textile technology, such as creating fabrics that are lighter, durable, and better at regulating temperature, are fueling the growth of the Indian active insulation market during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2025, Hologenix partnered with Decathlon to launch an activewear set using CELLIANT technology embedded in REPREVE recycled polyester. The fabric converts body heat into infrared energy to enhance circulation and oxygenation, supporting better performance and faster recovery.

Government Backing and Industry Alliances Accelerate EPS Active Insulation Demand

The government is supporting extensive use of EPS as an insulator is expected to further propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, in July 2024, Bajjrang Bothra, Executive Chairman of Epack Durable Limited, shared a comprehensive plan to boost EPS adoption in India, focusing on initiatives such as securing government subsidies, integrating EPS into green building rating systems, expanding local manufacturing capacity, and implementing advanced recycling processes. Thus, such initiatives by the government to promote EPS insulation will propel the market growth.

Market Segmentation
