Demand Of Scientific Principles for Product Manufacture
Growing prevalence of skin allergies and foot allergies is driving the demand for sweat absorption and anti-bacterial features in functional apparel. The adoption of scientific principles in the manufacture of functional apparels offer protection from heat, radiation, extreme cold, and chemicals. These attributes help functional apparel find special potential among technology-savvy users. Highly engineered athletic footwear helps in improving athletic performance and helps reduce injuries.
High Investment in Research & Development
Fabrics are made hi-tech by using chemicals and other methods, which are not eco-friendly. However, at present, consumers have become highly conscious about the environment. They demand eco-friendly performance clothing. In such a scenario, players operating in the functional apparel market have started research and development activities to introduce innovative performance apparels that are natural too. Some of the apparel manufacturers have started utilizing the potential of natural fibers such as bamboo-, soy-, and corn-based fibers for the same purpose.
Manufacturers are experimenting with organic and recycled fabrics and several of them have come up with green functional apparels made of organic and recycled fabrics. Recycled polyester is mostly used for this purpose. Conversely, a combination of recycled polyester and organic cotton is used for producing eco-friendly performance apparels. These fabrics can perform well even in highly demanding conditions such as extremely hot and humid climate and extremely cold climate.
