Significant Growth Drivers Behind the Industrial Fabric Market
The automotive industry stands out as a major driver for the industrial fabric market growth. Increasing vehicle production-covering cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other transportation modes-has led to higher demand for industrial textiles. Materials like polyester and nylon are widely employed in this sector. Polyester fibers, for example, are used in knitted, woven, and nonwoven forms such as needle-punched and stitch-bonded fabrics, which serve as face materials, airbags, and seat belts.
To illustrate, data from June 2023 by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association highlights that around 13 million people are employed in the automotive sector across Europe, accounting for 7% of the EU's workforce. This sector also represents 11.5% of manufacturing jobs in the EU, roughly 3.4 million positions. Annually, Europe produces about 13.1 million vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, and buses, making the automobile industry a critical economic contributor. The region benefits from a €101.9 billion trade surplus, with its products recognized globally under the ""Made in Europe"" label. This thriving automotive market continues to boost demand for industrial fabrics.
