Textile coating involves applying resin onto a textile substrate, enhancing its performance and aesthetic qualities. This process significantly augments the value of textiles, extending their durability and functionality.
The primary types of textile coatings include thermoplastics, thermosets, and other variations. Thermoplastics represent coatings that do not chemically react during the drying process. Various methods are employed for coating textiles, such as direct coating, direct roll coating, pad-dry-cure coating, foamed & crushed foam coating, hot melt extrusion coating, calendar coating, among others. Technologies utilized include dot textile coating and full surface textile coating. Textile coatings find applications in diverse sectors such as clothing, transportation, construction, home furnishing, and healthcare, contributing to improved performance and aesthetics across these industries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are impacting the textile coatings market by increasing costs of imported resins, specialty chemicals, coating equipment, and additives. Textile manufacturers in Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported coating materials, while North America faces higher production costs for technical textiles. These tariffs are increasing fabric finishing costs and affecting competitiveness. However, they are also supporting local chemical production, regional coating formulation development, and innovation in cost-effective textile coating technologies.

The textile coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.7 billion in 2025 to $7.07 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of apparel manufacturing, expansion of home furnishing markets, increasing use of coated textiles in construction, rising demand for protective clothing, advancements in coating technologies.
The textile coatings market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.51 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of sustainable coating materials, rising demand for technical textiles, expansion of automotive interior applications, growing focus on recyclable textile coatings, increasing investments in advanced coating processes. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of functional and protective textile coatings, rising demand for durable and weather-resistant fabrics, growing use of high-performance coated textiles, expansion of coated textiles in transportation applications, enhanced focus on aesthetic and performance enhancement.
The expanding clothing industry is projected to drive the growth of the textile coating market in the future. The clothing industry encompasses the manufacturing of textile-based garments and apparel. Textile coatings provide material layers that adhere to textile structures. A typical formulation for textile coatings usually consists of polymeric binders and other additives (such as colorants, adhesion promoters, biocides, plasticizers, etc.) that are applied to textile fabrics through a spreading process in the form of a solution, dispersion, paste, or a similar method. For example, in November 2023, the UK Fashion and Textile Association, a trade organization based in the UK, reported that the UK fashion and textile industry contributed £62 billion ($80.7 billion) to the UK GDP, supported 1.3 million jobs nationwide, and generated over £23 billion ($28.98 billion) in tax revenue. Hence, the expanding clothing sector is anticipated to boost the textile coating market.
Leading companies in the textile coatings market are concentrating on developing innovative products, such as bio-based textile coatings, to improve sustainability, lessen environmental impact, and address the rising demand for eco-friendly materials. Bio-based textile coatings consist of protective and functional layers applied to textiles that originate from renewable biological resources, including plants, algae, or other natural substances. For example, in November 2023, Covestro AG, a materials company based in Germany, introduced Impranil CQ DLU, a partially bio-based polyurethane dispersion for textile coatings that contains approximately 34% plant-derived carbon. This innovative product retains the performance characteristics of its predecessor, Impranil DLU, including excellent hydrolysis resistance and tensile strength, while promoting sustainability by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Suitable for a range of applications such as sports equipment and car interiors, Impranil CQ DLU can be applied using various coating methods, showcasing Covestro's dedication to eco-friendly solutions in the textile sector.
In February 2023, Archroma, a global provider of specialty chemicals based in Switzerland, acquired Huntsman Corporation for $718 million. This acquisition strategically strengthens Archroma's leadership in sustainable textile solutions while enhancing its product offerings and operational efficiencies. Huntsman Corporation is a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated specialty textile coatings, catering to a diverse array of manufacturers in various consumer and industrial end markets.
