Analysts’ Viewpoint on Market Scenario
Fabric ducts heat, cool, and ventilate more efficiently than traditional HVAC solutions. Fabric ducting is an effective alternative to conventional ducting, as it offers greater flexibility. Rise in investment in infrastructure development and expansion in the construction sector are driving the North America fabric ducting industry.
Governments of the U.S. and Canada are supporting adoption of green buildings in order to achieve their sustainability goals. Increase in usage of HVAC systems is expected to augment the market development during the forecast period. North American fabric ducting companies are investing significantly in the R&D of new products to increase their revenue share.
Fabric ducting is a ventilation ducting solution that is made of polyester and various other materials. Fabric air ducts allow designers to use various colors and shapes. They improve airflow, and are hygienic and suitable for clean environments. Fabric ducts are lightweight and low-cost solutions. They are also easy to install and clean. These ducts provide more even air distribution than traditional steel ducts. Laser-cut precision air holes in fabric ducts facilitate uniform air distribution along the entire length of the duct.
Fabric ducts operate at significantly reduced static pressure requirements, thereby aiding in energy conservation. Round ducts utilize less material than rectangular ducts. They are also the most efficient ducting system compared to others. Less ownership cost and customizable designs are major benefits of fabric ducting solutions.
Expansion in the construction sector is boosting the demand for robust HVAC systems in North America. Fabric duct systems play a critical role in maintaining the flow of cool and warm air in an enclosed space. These systems deliver an equal amount of air back to the HVAC system to avoid suffocation. Air ducts remove dust particles and unwanted microorganisms to help create a clean environment.
Rise in focus on health and fitness has prompted the populace to invest in clean air solutions. This is expected to drive the North America fabric ducting market statistics during the forecast period. Fabric air distribution systems improve air quality in enclosed spaces by circulating clean air. Air ducts are commonly used in the residential sector to remove unwanted odors. The residential sector has been witnessing rapid growth in the recent past due to the increase in population and migration of the populace to urban areas. This, in turn, is likely to offer lucrative growth opportunities for fabric ducting manufacturers in North America.
Large indoor sports facilities, fitness centers, and swimming pools employ fabric ducts to efficiently heat, cool, and ventilate spaces. Rise in participation in sports and outdoor activities is expected to fuel the North America fabric ducting market progress during the forecast period.
Fabric air conditioning ducts are increasingly becoming the air distribution systems of choice for various commercial institutions such as sports facilities, resorts, stadiums, aquatic centers, and medical facilities. Thus, fabric duct manufacturers are expanding their production capabilities to cater to the specific requirements of target consumers. In December 2020, DuctSox Corporation completed the production of its fabric ductwork for medical tents at one of the largest nonprofit integrated healthcare systems in the U.S.
According to the latest North America fabric ducting market forecast, the permeable material segment is expected to dominate the industry in terms of revenue during the forecast period. Permeable materials are ideal for effective air distribution. They rely on the principle of thermodynamics to provide effective ventilation. Permeable materials offer various benefits such as no condensation and no drafts. These benefits boost the adoption of permeable materials, thereby driving the segment.
In terms of application, the industrial manufacturing segment is anticipated to hold major North America fabric ducting market share during the forecast period. Fabric ducting is widely used in industrial manufacturing to achieve effective cooling compared to compression-based cooling or heating. Additionally, fabric ducting allows the development of movable/adjustable, lightweight, noise-free, vibration-less, and compact designs for effective distribution of cold or hot air. These features augment the demand for fabric ducts in industrial manufacturing.
According to the latest fabric ducting industry forecast, the U.S. is expected to dominate the market during 2022 to 2031. Rise in usage of fabrics for ducting instead of galvanized aluminum or steel is driving the market expansion in the country.
Fabric ducting materials are more affordable than their aluminum counterparts. They reduce installation time and lower maintenance costs. Growth in the industrial sector across the U.S. is likely to further propel the market share during the forecast period.
Detailed profiles of vendors have been provided in the North America fabric ducting market report to evaluate their financials, key product offerings, recent developments, and strategies. Most of the companies actively focus on investment in the R&D of industry-specific solutions. Technology advancements, geographical and capacity expansion, and strategic partnerships and collaborations are major focus areas of these companies.
