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.
