Rising application of waterproof breathable textiles in the sports apparel manufacturing industry due to its lightweight and durability is expected to drive market growth.
Waterproof breathable textiles are employed in the production of weather-proof garments, which thwart the passage of heat and water from the fabric. Unlike water-repellent fabrics that simply postpone the penetration of water, these textiles prevent absorption and penetration of water. The textile allows the water vapor (perspiration) to flow out, thus keeping the body cool.
