WATER REPELLANT AGENT MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global water repellant agent market size was USD 0.85 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 1.53 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

A processing ingredient called water repellent coats the surface of the fiber with a nanoparticle substance, greatly improving the fabric's ability to repel water. Additionally, it offers washing durability. The benefit of this finishing is that since the fabric is not totally coated with thick resins, the original hand of the fabric may be preserved without losing air permeability.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt On Production To Impede Market Growth

The global community was negatively impacted by the COVID19 infection's surge. The pandemic presented numerous obstacles for the market for water repellant agents as well. Lockdown regulations during the pandemic forced a halt to production and operations. The supply chain was severely disrupted, and the gap between supply and demand widened. Due to the downturn in the building and automobile industries, the market was impacted. However, the beneficial characteristics of the water repellant compounds increased demand, which resulted in an increase in the size of the market for these substances.

LATEST TRENDS

Infrastructure Development to Foster Market Growth
