Market Growth Factors

A rise in the number of people entering the labor force

Commuters in cities often find that taking public transportation is a time-consuming option. As a consequence of this, a lot of people opt to drive their own cars, motorcycles, or automobiles to work rather than take public transportation. Because of this, people who go through highly crowded places often buy protective clothes to wear outside in order to shelter themselves from the adverse effects of natural elements such as pollution, wind, dust, and heat. As a direct consequence of this, commuters in every region of the world are increasingly adopting rainwear such as motorbike rainwear.

Rising millennial population all over the world

The increase in the number of millennials in the population is one factor that is driving the trend of participating in outdoor as well as recreational activities like mountaineering, hiking, and cross-country riding. As a consequence of this, there has been an increase in demand for rainwear. Participating in activities outside of natural settings is deeply ingrained in the culture of developed nations and regions. In addition, the number of people participating in outdoor and recreational activities is also spurred by the significant increase in the disposable income of people in the coming years.

Marketing Restraining Factor

Heavy nature of the product

Oilcloth is notably heavier than its tech-forward equivalents, which is a major reason why users do not see many people participating in outdoor sports while wearing it. Additionally, several sailors discovered that an oiled sail was lighter than a water-soaked sail. However, it is not as waterproof as certain other materials. The technology has progressed a long way and is light years ahead of the first waterproof fabric, despite the fact that waxed materials can be helpful in deflecting rain.
