Recent and Future Trends for High Performance Fabrics Providing Breathability and Waterproofness

摘要

This paper presents a summary of an on-going multi-client programme undertaken by D&K Consulting SA covering "Breathable and Water- proof Fabrics." The reports for Western Europe and the U.S. markets have already been published and the analysis of selected Asian countries is planned for this year. The whole programme is largely based on extensive field industrial interviews with raw material suppliers, converters and fabric producers, garment and accesso- ries manufacturers, as well as with selected organised retailers.
