Dye sublimated apparel refers to various textiles that are customized using digital printing technology. It involves the conversion of solid printing dye directly into gas using high temperatures and depositing it on the desired apparel to create a permanent bond with the fibers. Dye sublimation facilitates the reproduction of high-quality color prints and images onto fabrics and textiles. In comparison to the traditional printing methods, it is environment-friendly and offers higher photographic resolution with vibrant colors, resistance to cracking, peeling or fading and permanent coloration to the exposed surface.
Significant growth in the textile industry across the globe represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Dye sublimated clothing provides crisp, neat and clear prints and designs with brighter and vibrant colors. Furthermore, various technological advancements, such as the development of 3D vacuum heat-press, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. The technique is widely utilized for designing and printing t-shirts, activewear, hats, gloves and pants in aesthetically appealing designs and patterns. In line with this, aggressive promotional activities by the product manufacturers and vendors through the proliferation of social media channels and online retail platforms, is also contributing to the market growth. Various brands and apparel manufacturers are collaborating with sports personalities and celebrities to endorse customized sports apparel and attract millennial consumers. Other factors, including rapid urbanization, along with the increasing expenditure capacities of the consumers, are anticipated to drive the market further.
