Executive Summary

Breathable films are films characterized by numerous micro-holes or pores that allow smaller items to pass through while filtering out larger ones. These films permit the passage of gases and water vapors but remain impermeable to water in a liquid state.

The primary types of breathable films include microporous, microvoid, and non-porous. Microporous materials feature very small pores or channels with diameters in the micron or nanometer range. These films are made from various materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, and others. Breathable films find applications in hygiene and personal care, medical, food packaging, construction, fabrics (including defense jackets, protective garments for industrial uses), and various other applications like adventurous sporting goods such as rafts, tents, waterproof camping bags, mattresses, disposable workwear, coveralls, jumpers, rainwear, and shoe liners.

This breathable films market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The breathable films market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.21 billion in 2023 to $3.56 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%. The historic growth in breathable films can be attributed to the expansion of the healthcare industry, a preference for lightweight packaging, growing environmental concerns, innovation in personal care products, the expansion of the food and beverage industry, and increased consumer awareness.

The breathable films market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The forecasted growth in breathable films can be attributed to a shift towards online retail channels, consumer demand for functional apparel, a surge in biodegradable materials, a focus on the circular economy, innovations in sports and outdoor apparel, and the growth in the geriatric population. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in material technology, a preference for sustainable solutions, technological innovations in film production, and growth in industrial protective clothing.

The growth of breathable films market is expected to be propelled by the increasing building and construction activities. These films find applications as house wraps, limiting water vapor permeability through a home's walls. According to the Indian Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, the construction sector is anticipated to grow significantly, with a projected increase of 16.8 percent in the April-June quarter of 2022-2023, compared to 2.3 percent in 2021-2022. This surge in construction activities is expected to drive the demand for breathable films used in construction applications.

The growth of the agricultural sector is expected to contribute to the expansion of the breathable films market. Breathable films play a crucial role in agriculture by providing enhanced crop protection, moisture management, and season extension. These films create controlled microenvironments for crops, improving yields and quality while supporting sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. With the global food demand on the rise, as indicated by the United States Department of Agriculture's report, the use of breathable films in agriculture is expected to increase, further driving market growth.

Product innovations are a key trend in the breathable films market, with companies focusing on developing new solutions. For example, Printpack Inc. introduced the Preserve line of breathable laminated film for fresh produce. This sustainable product, made entirely of polyethylene, is designed for in-store drop-off recycling. The technology allows produce to breathe, extending freshness, reducing food waste, and maintaining package clarity through an anti-fog treatment. Product innovations like these contribute to the attractiveness and competitiveness of companies in the breathable films market.

Major companies in the breathable films market are developing advanced breathable fabrics for sports, such as waterproof breathable fabric. These fabrics repel water while allowing vapor to pass through, ensuring comfort in various weather conditions. Toray Industries, Inc. introduced the rebranded Dermizax waterproof breathable fabric for sports and outdoor wear, offering new performance categories including high breathability, waterproofness, stretch, and a combination of these features. The demand for improved waterproofness, lightness, and breathability in sports and outdoor wear contributes to the growth of the breathable films market.

In January 2021, Astara Capital Partners LLC acquired Garlock Printing and Converting for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Astara Capital Partners as a market leader in flexible packaging, particularly in the use of sustainable films. Garlock Printing and Converting Corporation, operating in breathable films, aligns with Astara Capital Partners' focus on expanding and developing within the flexible packaging market. This strategic move is expected to strengthen Astara Capital Partners' presence in the breathable films sector.
