Cooling fabrics comprise gel, polymer, or phase change materials (PCMs) that alter their insulating properties in response to the environment. These fabrics function by absorbing the heat and moisture and releasing them into the atmosphere, which further helps to improve the breathability and ventilation of the garments. They also assist in maintaining a comfortable body temperature during the physical performance and improving the overall well-being from scorching conditions. Besides this, due to their excellent thermal conductivity and tactile properties, cooling fabrics are utilized in the manufacturing of sports apparel worldwide.

Cooling Fabrics Market Trends:

Increasing Application Areas

Cooling fabrics are used in heavy protective clothing or armor, which are worn by military personnel, firefighters, and staff working with hazardous material cleanup. Apart from this, with the increasing number of sports enthusiasts across the globe, several manufacturers are offering cooling garments that maximize oxygen uptake, increase blood flow to the working muscles, and reduce the risk of inflammation during events. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are also investing in research and development (R&D) activities to produce a practical cooling garment that can lower the temperature of the brain in stroke and head trauma patients. Additionally, significant growth in the real estate sector is anticipated to influence the application of cooling fabrics in furniture upholstery.

Technology Integration

The incorporation of sensors and electronics into cooling fabrics enables real-time monitoring of body temperature and adjusts the fabric's cooling properties accordingly. Further, the emergence of phase change materials (PCM)-infused fabrics that can store and release heat to offer a sustained cooling effect, is revolutionizing the market dynamics. This technology is being increasingly used by athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. Some smart fabrics can also connect to external devices such as smartphones or fitness trackers, enabling efficient data tracking and customization. Such technological advancements have opened up new possibilities for cooling fabrics, making them more comfortable, functional, and adaptable to various needs of users.  

Surge in Sustainable Practices

Manufacturers are increasingly using natural fibers including bamboo, hemp, and eucalyptus to develop sustainable cooling fabrics. These fibers offer natural moisture-wicking and cooling properties. Furthermore, recycled materials, such as recycled polyester, are being adopted to produce cooling fabrics, thereby reducing the environmental impact of textile production. In addition, research is ongoing for creating cooling fabrics that are biodegradable, limiting their impact on landfills and the environment.
