The U.S. and Europe outdoor fabric market size is expected to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth can be attributed to the growing urbanization and outdoor living spaces, increasing outdoor activities & fashion and style trends, and a flourishing construction industry across the U.S. and Europe. This, in turn, influences product development, marketing strategies, and consumer preferences within the industry across the country.
Homeowners increasingly seek to extend their living areas beyond the design of their homes, creating inviting outdoor environments for relaxation, dining, and entertainment. Durable and weather-resistant fabrics have become essential to meet this demand, allowing for comfortable outdoor furniture, cushions, and upholstery that can withstand diverse weather conditions. Consumers' preferences have also shifted towards fabrics that offer a blend of style and functionality, with a particular emphasis on vibrant colors, diverse patterns, and textures that complement various design aesthetics.
Moreover, the rise in environmental consciousness has led to a surge in demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials in outdoor fabrics, further influencing the market offerings. These trends reflect a broader desire for enhanced outdoor experiences, encouraging consumers to invest in outdoor decor that elevates their living spaces, connects them with nature, facilitates social gatherings, and adds value to their properties.
Various raw materials, including materials, such as polyester, olefin, acrylic, marine vinyl, cotton, PTFE, PVC, etc. are used for manufacturing furniture and other products. For instance, in April 2021, Netherlands-based outdoor fabric provider TenCate Fabrics announced the launch of WR200, a lightweight polyester fabric. Due to its durable and low-weight features, it is a renovated version of TenCate’s polyester fabric specifically designed for outdoor applications. These raw materials are sourced from different countries and supply of these materials is largely affected by the fluctuations in commodity markets. Such fluctuations tend to have adverse effects on the supply chain of fabrics and textiles, thereby posing a challenge to the key players operating in the U.S. and Europe outdoor fabric market.
Manufacturers sell their products either through direct channels or distribution networks. They also rely on retailers, supermarkets or hypermarkets, independent dealers, reconditioned distributors, and e-commerce websites for selling their products. Distributors of these products play a decisive role in expanding the reach of products and broadening the customer base of manufacturers of these tools. Hence, manufacturers prefer either an integrated channel or opt for online retail.
