Dublin, April 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Breathable Films Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Raw Material, By Product (Microporous, Non-porous), By Application (Packaging, Industrial Protective Apparel), And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global breathable films market size is expected to reach USD 24.3 billion by 2025 expanding at a CAGR of 6% over the forecast period. It is estimated to be driven by increasing construction spending in Asia Pacific coupled with growth of the overall packaging market.

The unfilled layers provide a barrier that can effectively allow moisture vapor to pass but retain fluids and challenge materials.

It is bonded with non-woven fabrics to be used as air-permeable materials, such as a dehumidifying agent, desiccant, and freshness preserving agent. It is also used to form the final layer of diapers and disposable pocket warmer packaging and building materials, where it is attached to resinous reinforcement material.

Increasing demand from building and construction industry is prominently fueling the market growth. Breathable films are used for house wraps, wall covering, under-tile roofing, and facades. Breathable films provide extra security against excessive accumulation of moisture, prolongs service life, along with retaining heat.

Further key findings from the study suggest:

• Asia Pacific dominated the market during the forecast period from 2019 to 2025. China is the fastest-growing country in Asia Pacific on account of growing automotive industry
