Market Introduction
The Asia Pacific webbing market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The demand for environment-friendly fabric material has been increasing with the rising concerns related to environment degradation and waste management coupled with growing focus on the deployment of sustainable materials. The demand for such materials is strongly driven by stringent government regulations on the use of nonbiodegradable webbing materials due to the adverse impacts of such material. With growing focus toward eco-friendly webbing materials, manufacturers have come up with new materials such as recycled polyester, bamboo webbing, wool webbing, rayon webbing, soy webbing, organic cotton webbing, linen webbing, jute webbing, and hemp webbing. Such webbing materials have comparatively less pH value, which makes them ideal to be used in textile materials. This type of webbing material does not cause skin itching and does not damage the weak acidic environment of the skin surface. Also, the materials do not use disperse dyes, which may cause allergies. The increasing investments by manufacturers in R&D activities for the development of environment-friendly and performance-efficient webbing materials would drive the growth of the webbing market in coming years.
In case of COVID-19, in Asia Pacific, especially India, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of webbing manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has negatively impacted the demand for webbing during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall fiber and composites manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of webbing manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for webbing. Similar trend was witnessed in other Asia Pacific countries, i.e., Japan, China and Australia. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.
