Textile coating refers to the process of depositing various chemicals and resins either on one or both sides of a textile substrate. These compounds are usually added to enhance the physical properties of the textile, such as resistance to fire, water, abrasion, soil and stains, along with heat stability and breathability. Some of the most common types of textile coatings include thermoplastics, such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane and acrylics, and thermosets, such as styrene-butadiene, natural, nitrite and butyl rubber. They are primarily used in the manufacturing of airbags, conveyor belts, barrier materials, hospital equipment and protective clothing and find extensive applications across the aerospace, transportation, construction and medical industries.

Rapid industrialization and increasing demand for geotextiles across the globe are among the key factors driving the growth of the market. In line with this, there is a widespread adoption of waterproof, premium quality and heat-resistant fabrics for the manufacturing of faux leather, packaging and sports clothing products. Increasing industrial quality standards and requirements are further contributing to the adoption of textile coatings. Various technological innovations, including the development of advanced coating technologies, such as spray coating, nanoscale and plasma technologies, are also contributing to the market growth. These coatings provide anti-bacterial and self-healing properties to the polymers, which is resulting in the increasing utilization of the process across industries. Other factors, including its extensive application for the manufacturing of home furnishings, medical equipment and agricultural products, along with significant growth in the textile industry, are projected to drive the market further.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.

Techtextil 2026: Between innovation pressure & market reality

From 21 to 24 April 2026, Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main will once again become the central meeting point for the international technical textiles and nonwovens industry. Running in parallel, Texprocess will focus on the industrial implementation of textile processing technologies as the leading platform in this field. Together, the two trade fairs form a closely integrated presentation and working platform along the entire textile value chain – from material development to finished applications.

Between geopolitical pressure and industrial resilience

In this interview, Dr. Janpeter Horn (VDMA) discusses the current challenges facing textile machinery manufacturers, shaped by geopolitical tensions, regulatory developments and subdued investment. He also outlines why innovation strength, integrated solutions and strategic positioning remain key to global competitiveness.

Fluff pulp market maintains steady growth

Despite being impacted by political and economic woes, the global fluff pulp market in 2024 will reach 7.3 million air dried tonnes with a value of $9.7 billion, according to a new Smithers produced study, The Future of Fluff Pulp to 2029. This is up from 6.2 million air dried tonnes valued at $5.5 billion in 2019.

Economic and geopolitical headwinds influence industrial nonwovens growth to 2029

The global consumption of industrial nonwovens in 2024 is 5.3 million tonnes or 83.4 billion square metres (m2), valued at $21.2 billion, according to The Future of Industrial Nonwovens to 2029 from Smithers. Growth rates for 2019-24 were 6.9% (tonnes), 6.9% (m2) and 6.7% ($). This reflects a recovery in some markets from Covid-19 as well as an adjustment to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and its repercussions (inflation, energy supply/price, global economic growth reductions).

BTMA backs global growth while investing in future UK leaders

As one of a number of new initiatives launched this year, the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) is launching the UK-India Textile Machinery Coalition. The UK-India Free Trade Agreement, signed in July 2025, has implications that extend across sourcing, competitiveness and long-term trade dynamics, believes BTMA CEO Jason Kent.

China projected to increase cotton production, yields, and imports in 2026/27

World cotton production in the 2026/27 season is projected at 25.9 million tonnes, exceeding global consumption of 25.2 million tonnes, according to the May 2026 issue of Cotton This Month. That means both production and consumption are expected to remain close to current season levels, while global cotton trade is projected to decline by 2.7% to approximately 9.6-9.7 million tonnes.
