MARKET ANALYSIS
The waterproof materials are designed to fully shield people from rain, snow, and wind by preventing the penetration and absorption of liquid water. Typically, waterproof textiles act as a barrier between body and the environmental humidity and offer excellent protection from the different elements. Waterproof fabrics are unable to effectively transport the perspiration from the inside of the clothing to the outside, thus causing moisture buildup and making the wearer feel damp. This has led to the development of waterproof breathable textiles. Waterproof breathable textiles manufacturing technology has been continuously developing and improving. Cloths made of waterproof breathable textiles are used by sports and outdoor enthusiasts and professionals in any weather conditions.
GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES
The major factor driving the waterproof breathable textiles market growth is increasing their use in sportswear, workwear, and leisurewear due to their various advantages. In the waterproof breathable textiles market, waterproof breathable jackets, parkas, rain pants, hats, gloves, socks, and shoes are among the most popular products. The primary function of the garment made with waterproof breathable textiles are in case of an emergency to delay the onset of hypothermia, thus extending the survival time and increasing the chance of escape. Waterproof breathable textiles are indispensable to cold-weather expeditions. Military and passenger ships also uses gear with waterproof breathable textiles. Waterproof breathable textiles are highly used in extreme conditions as they provide excellent protection from precipitation and the wind. Waterproof breathable textiles are highly used by workers in the offshore oil and fishing industries, as they are regularly exposed to harsh conditions including low temperatures, wind, and rain. Thus, various advantages of waterproof breathable textiles are driving their use in different application sectors. However, the high cost of waterproof breathable textiles is expected to restrain the waterproof breathable textiles market growth during the studied period. High quality materials are required to make waterproof breathable textiles.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION
The covid-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. Shutdown of manufacturing plants and restricted trade across the globe led to supply chain constraints for the manufacturers across the globe. Waterproof breathable textiles market experienced a slump during the pandemic owing to the limited trade of textile products across the globe. Moreover, garment, footwear, and protective clothing manufacturing activities also witnessed a decline during this period owing to the shortage of raw materials and limited supply of labor. The pandemic created worldwide turmoil in the sports industry by impacting everyone, from athletes, teams, and leagues to sponsorships, and sports retail. This has negatively impacted the demand for different sportwear.
In 2021, various economies and industries resumed operations as governments announced the relaxation of the previously imposed restrictions. Manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gaps. Thus, the manufacturers of garments, footwear, and protective clothing focused on increasing their production to revive their businesses. This has created the demand for waterproof breathable textiles.
