Breathable films are relatively high priced in comparison to traditional non-breathable films. The raw material cost, production processes, and niche technologies needed to produce breathable films can be a challenge for manufacturers and restrict their usage in some applications. Alternate materials and innovative technologies that offer comparable features will pose competition to breathable films. For example, nonwoven fabrics with built-in breathability or other types of film coatings can be adopted as alternatives for breathable films based on the application requirements. The high-end pricing of breathable films is anticipated to reduce their adoption rate, further impeding breathable films market growth.
