Report Code: CMR 99192 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Overview

Sailcloth Market is forecast to reach $520 Million by 2025, after growing at a CAGR of 3.70% during 2020-2025. Sailcloth is made from flexible polymeric resins and fiber materials which provide impermeability, are more resistant to abrasion, protect the material from the degradation caused by the sun and moisture and are lightweight. Moreover, technological advancement in sailcloth industry such as development of bio-based fabrics is influencing the market growth positively during the forecast. The report covers Sailcloth Market size by type and applications, Sailcloth Market share by top 5 companies and also the market share by start-ups during the forecast period.

Report Coverage

The report: “Sailcloth Market – Forecast (2020-2025)”, by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Sailcloth Market.


Key Takeaways

  • Major manufacturers are focusing on product innovation and regional expansions to minimize the effect of increasing participation of domestic players.
  • The predominant fiber for racing sails, Kevlar is stronger, has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel, and a higher modulus than Dacron (Polyester). It loses its strength with folding, flexing and flogging, and does not resist UV light well.
  • Carbon fiber is a high modulus fiber made from carbon, virtually unaffected by UV exposure with exceptional low stretch. Carbon fiber sails are extremely durable and flexible, but costly.

By Type - Segment Analysis

Nylon sailcloth segment held a significant share in the sailcloth market in 2019. Nylon is a lightweight material with superior abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and flexibility. However, it allows too much stretch for upwind sails as it has low modulus. Nylon is susceptible to chemical degradation and UV, and its properties can change due to moisture absorption.

By Application - Segment Analysis

Cruising sails held a significant share in the sailcloth market in 2019. Dacron is the standard sail fabric used for cruising sails.  It has excellent resiliency, high abrasion and UV resistance, low cost and high flex strength. Fiber gets dried quickly due to its low absorbency property. It has a relatively little stretch, retains its shape over long periods of time and wind ranges, and is resistant to mildew. Dacron sails can last up to 10 years if they are rarely used and stay out of heavy winds. The resin content of cruising sails is lower than that of racing sails, making cruising sails smoother, easier to handle and stow, and more shock-absorbing.

Geography - Segment Analysis

Europe dominated the sailcloth market with a share of more than 39% during the forecast period. In various countries such as Denmark, U.K., France, Italy, and Switzerland, high investments are being made for sailcloth used for cruising sails and racing sails.  Growing demand for sailcloth is encouraging the domestic players to enter the market. According to European Cruise Council, the European cruise sails industry continues to grow, along with the social and economic benefits it brings to the region.
