Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2015 -- Coated fabrics are coated by plastics, rubber, varnish and lacquer among other materials. Application of a coat results in increasing the flexibility, water resistance and durability of the fabric. These fabrics are used in a variety of end-use products such as transportation, manufacturing, construction, automotive and apparel among others. Based on the type of raw material used, coated fabrics can be segmented into three categories, viz., polymer-coated fabrics, rubber-coated fabrics and fabric-backed wall coverings. Increasing demand for automobiles in the U.S. is one of the primary drivers which are expected to drive the growth of the market over the next few years. In addition, the rising industrial production rate is expected to boost demand for coated fabrics in industrial applications over the forecast period. Furthermore, recovery of construction industry after the economic crisis in 2008-09 is expected to contribute to the demand for coated fabrics. However, availability of substitute products to coated fabrics coupled with rising environmental concerns regarding pollutants emitted from these fabrics are expected to hamper the growth of the market.
