In 2018, the cotton fibers segment made up 23.5% of global revenue. This is due to its unique properties like absorbency, strength and durability. Market growth will be complemented by an increase in the use of cotton blends such as polyamide cotton and cotton-nylon.
Polyester-derived synthetic fibers are more resistant to wind, water and the environment than plant-derived fibers. To make fabrics with high wrinkle and tear resistance and high strength, the polyester fiber must be combined only with natural fibers like cotton. These blends can also be used to weave defense personnel apparel.
Aramid is an aromatic polyamide synthetic fiber. You can find it in para-aramid or meta-aramid, under the trademarks Nomex and Teijinconex. These fibers have a wide range of properties, including high strength, resistance against abrasion, organic solvents and low flammability. These properties are useful in manufacturing military clothing and law enforcement.
From 2019 to 2025, wool is expected to grow at a 5.5% CAGR in terms of revenue. This is due to its ability to blend with other fibers and improve material characteristics like comfort, durability, maintenance and protection. Blending wool with high-performance fibers can enhance its inherent properties. To obtain flame-resistant and durable fabric, long-staple wool is spun into worsted yarns using DuPont trademark fibers Nomex or Kevlar.
Clothing that is flame resistant (FR) refers to clothing that can protect the wearer against thermal exposure and possible discontinuous flames. From 2019 to 2025, FR apparels will see a 5.3% CAGR in terms of revenue. This is due to the protection of the wearer against high temperatures and the exposure of military personnel to thermal hazards.
FR apparels are made of fabrics and components that do not melt on the skin. This prevents further burn injuries. The clothing must meet the standards of protective apparel agencies like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and National Fire Protection Association.
High-quality clothing for military personnel and law enforcement requires the use of new technologies to ensure that the garments can withstand sun, rain, and wind. The patented technology for moisture management, which allows fast moisture absorption, faster drying, and regulates skin temperature in both hot and cold environments, is a great example.
On duty, military and law enforcement personnel can be exposed to harsh environmental conditions. The clothing worn by these personnel must be protected from harsh environmental conditions. Fabrics are designed to resist water and UV rays. The apparel provides comfort, elasticity, insulation and durability to the wearer.
The market for non-flame-resistant defense clothing will reach USD 1.5 billion in 2025. This is due to product attributes like water-repellent and high durability, abrasion resistant, mildew, petroleum oils, and lubricant protection. These uniforms can protect against infrared detection in some cases. This makes them ideal for stealth combat situations.
The market for military clothing is expected to grow due to the increasing demand from military officers for superior and unique clothing in combat and other situations. Military personnel's uniforms depend on their service branch, rank and occasion. For example, combat uniforms are required for deployment, while formal functions require different clothing.
Multi-layered combat uniforms protect soldiers from harsh environments and allow them to focus on their mission. These outfits have unique pixel patterns that protect in near infrared or visual bands. This allows for seamless integration of personnel with their environment over long and short distances. The market is expected to grow due to rising demand for combat uniforms over the forecast period.
Due to the many attributes of the apparel, the law enforcement segment will see a 4.8% CAGR in revenue from 2019-2025. These attributes include the establishment and maintenance of a visible presence, unique identification, as well as authority over civilians. Clothing is also useful in protecting personnel against various hazards, while still providing comfort and durability.
Due to increasing terrorist threat in Asian economies such as Pakistan, India, China, and China, the Asia Pacific region accounted for more than 30% of total revenue in 2018. This has led to a greater need for defense personnel to prevent cross-border terrorist attacks. This market is driven by several factors, including the introduction of military modernization programs to APAC countries, an increase in defense budgets, rising insurgency incidents and terrorist attacks.
India has seen internal political changes, including the annulment of Article 35A in India and the abrogation from Jammu & Kashmir of Article 370 in August 2017. This has led to increased tensions between China, Pakistan and India. This has led to an increase in soldiers deployed at India-China and India–Pakistan border, as well as the deployment law enforcement officers in Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and other union territories.
The Brazilian Armed Forces consisting of the Navy, Army, and Air Force are ranked third in the Americas.
