After 2022, the world will face both health and economic challenges, and brands and consumption need to think about what to do in the face of a fragile future. Sports fabrics will meet people's growing comfort needs, and will also cater to the market for the upsurge of protective design. Brands are rapidly adapting their production methods and supply chains in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, raising expectations for a sustainable future. Rapid market response will drive the brand to flourish.

With biodegradation, recycling and renewable resources becoming the key words in the market, natural innovation will continue to show strong momentum, not only for fibers, but also for coatings and finishes. The aesthetic style of sports fabric is no longer a single smooth and beautiful, natural texture will also be valued. Antiviral and antibacterial fibers are seeing a new boom in the market, while metal fibers such as copper provide good hygiene. Filtration design is also key. The fabric can be deeply filtered and destroyed through conductive fibers. Consumers, whose independence has increased significantly during the global lockdown, will also explore smart fabrics to aid and enhance their workouts, including vibration adjustments, interchangeability and gamification.


Concept: the creased fabric with delicate matte finish has lightweight protective properties, which can be called the perfect fusion of performance and fashion.

Fiber & Yarn: Super light recycled polyester is the ideal choice. Note that irregular recycled yarn is incorporated to create a crease finish. The use of biological coatings (such as Schoeller's Ecorepel) to achieve water and dust resistance is a sustainable concept.

Practical application: The fabric is an ideal choice for outdoor styles such as trousers and shorts, and the exquisite texture also makes it suitable for modern commuting series. It is recommended to add bio-based spandex to shirt styles (such as Sorona, made by DuPont) for a good commute and office look.
