Contract Textile Global Market Report 2026

Contract textiles refer to fabrics specifically designed, produced, sold, and utilized for commercial interiors. This involves a business-to-business (B2B) arrangement where textile manufacturers collaborate with companies engaged in producing final products for commercial end customers.

The main types of contract textiles are categorized as type A, type B, and type C. In the type A segment, fabrics are designed to resist flame penetration, and the flame does not burn through the edges of the metal frame during testing before and after cleaning. Various end-users benefit from contract textiles, including office spaces, public buildings, healthcare facilities, hotels, and establishments in the hospitality sector such as restaurants and cafes (HORECA). The versatility and functionality of contract textiles make them well-suited for a range of commercial applications in creating aesthetically pleasing and functional interior spaces.
