Contract textiles refer to fabrics specifically designed, produced, sold, and utilized for commercial interiors. This involves a business-to-business (B2B) arrangement where textile manufacturers collaborate with companies engaged in producing final products for commercial end customers.
The main types of contract textiles are categorized as type A, type B, and type C. In the type A segment, fabrics are designed to resist flame penetration, and the flame does not burn through the edges of the metal frame during testing before and after cleaning. Various end-users benefit from contract textiles, including office spaces, public buildings, healthcare facilities, hotels, and establishments in the hospitality sector such as restaurants and cafes (HORECA). The versatility and functionality of contract textiles make them well-suited for a range of commercial applications in creating aesthetically pleasing and functional interior spaces.

The growth of online shopping is driving the contract textiles market. Online shopping, a form of electronic commerce, allows buyers to engage directly with sellers over the Internet using a web browser or mobile app. This method has experienced significant growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as people transitioned from offline to online shopping due to movement restrictions. This shift has increased awareness of various textile types, including contract textiles. For example, in August 2023, the United States Census Bureau, a government agency, reported that e-commerce estimates for the second quarter of 2023 rose by 7.5% (or 1.4%) compared to the second quarter of 2022, while overall retail sales increased by 0.6% (or 0.4%). Online stores accounted for 15.4% of all sales in the second quarter of 2023. Consequently, the rise in online shopping is anticipated to drive growth in the contract textile market.
The expansion of the construction market is expected to drive growth in the contract textile market in the future. Construction involves the process of building or assembling infrastructure, structures, or buildings. Contract textiles are used in construction for interior finishes, including upholstery, drapery, and wall coverings, to meet durability and safety standards. For instance, in July 2024, the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported that the volume of construction work (services) in 2023 reached 7,612.8 billion tenge, reflecting a 15.1% increase compared to 2022. Thus, the growth in the construction market is fueling the growth of the contract textile market.
The rise in product innovations is becoming increasingly popular and has emerged as a key trend in the contract textile market. Innovations like Celliant Fiber are gaining traction within this sector. Celliant fiber incorporates patented infrared fiber technology, which enhances cellular oxygenation and local circulation to improve performance, recovery, and sleep. For instance, in a recent update, Crypton Companies continues to promote its innovative Crypton CELLIANT fabric, developed in collaboration with Hologenix LLC, the creators of Celliant infrared technology. This fabric is the first woven upholstery to feature Celliant, converting body heat into infrared energy and offering health benefits such as improved circulation, increased energy, and faster recovery. When an individual sits on a chair covered with Celliant, the minerals in the fabric absorb the heat emitted by the body, temporarily boosting local blood flow in the cell tissue, thereby enhancing performance and recovery.
Leading companies in the contract textile market are taking significant strides in addressing the critical issue of ocean plastic pollution by introducing sustainable seating patterns, exemplified by initiatives like Clean Impact Textiles.

This collection includes patterns such as Poseidon 1306 and Tidal 2180, both designed to combat ocean plastic pollution by incorporating upcycled ocean waste plastic and post-consumer recycled plastics. By blending these materials, Duvaltex aims to contribute to environmental conservation while offering consumers high-quality sustainable textiles. The Tidal and Poseidon patterns, inspired by nature's textures and colors, utilize ocean waste plastics to make a positive impact on our planet's environmental well-being.
