These clothes may vary in design, and are made using technologically advanced fabrics to offer functionality to users, besides providing the utility of essential garments. Functional apparel meets the need of performance and adaptability. Previously, such clothing was limited to the military, sports sector, technology workers, etc.
The world's leading designers and textile engineers work to produce high-quality functional garments, and considerable investments take place in the development of new and innovative products and technologies in the military, sports sector, etc. However, this technology used in the military or sports sector is now employed in the production of urban and casual clothing as well.

The rise in outdoor activities across the world is one of the key factors propelling the growth of the global functional apparel market. The growing adoption of western lifestyles and increasing millennial population drive the functional apparel market.
According to the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), more than half of the U.S. population - 160.7 million Americans, participate in outdoor recreational activities, including skiing, mountain biking, mountaineering, snowboarding, track running, and hiking.

High Investments in R&D Activities by Key Players to Drive Functional Apparel Market
Fabrics are made hi-tech by using chemicals and other methods, which are not eco-friendly. However, today's consumers are highly conscious of the environment and demand eco-friendly performance clothing. In such a scenario, players operating in the functional apparel market have started R&D activities to introduce innovative performance apparel that are natural as well. Some apparel manufacturers have started utilizing the potential of natural fibers such as bamboo-, soy-, and corn-based fiber.

Manufacturers are experimenting with organic and recycled fabrics, and several of them have launched green functional apparel made of organic and recycled fabrics. Recycled polyester is mostly used for this purpose. Conversely, a combination of recycled polyester and organic cotton is used for producing eco-friendly performance apparel. These fabrics can perform well even in highly demanding conditions such as extremely hot and humid climates and extremely cold climates.

The last two decades have seen a significant rise in the rate of participation of people in sports and other fitness activities. Popular brands such as Adidas and Mizuno sponsor sports events. With increase in the number of sports events, the demand for superior functional apparel is likely to increase, and this, as a result, will boost the production of functional apparel. Hi-tech apparel helps athletes perform better in training sessions and avoid accidental injury or infection.

Conventional fabric has more strength and sustainability, and therefore, is widely used in the outdoor clothing industry. Natural fibers found in plants and animals include cotton, silk, linen, wool, hemp, jute, and cashmere. Polyester and cotton are widely used fabrics in functional apparel across the globe. Cotton is a key cash crop in Asia Pacific. The production of abundant raw materials is resulting in the increased production of functional apparel in the region. Blended varieties of fabrics are also growing due to significant features of artificial and natural yarn, thus opening up new markets and growth opportunities.

Apparel is a prominent labor-intensive manufacturing industry in Asia. China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India are four of the largest apparel exporters in the world. Other than China, apparel production has been rising in low-cost alternative destinations such as India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Pakistan. Economic and demographic transition in Asia Pacific is leading to increased production of functional apparel in this region. Asia Pacific is estimated to have a significant presence in the active clothing market, as the region is a global manufacturing hub, providing employment to millions of people in the sector.

The widespread use of functional clothing such as life jackets and life-saving suits in tourist attractions of the region such as Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia, has accelerated the use of such products.
In North America, apparel was among the first industries to be lost to offshore manufacturing. The trend of labor-intensive apparel industry began as companies chased cheap labor. Presently, only about 3% of North America's consumption is domestically sourced; however, the domestic industry is starting to recover. The functional apparel market in North America is mainly driven by the presence of numerous local brands such as American Giant, which have their manufacturing facilities in countries such as Canada, and Mexico. Irrespective of the fact that large brands such as Nike have their production facilities outside of North America, the market is dominated by small domestic players. This is propelling the production of functional apparel in the region.

Besides, in the global functional apparel market, the footwear segment held a major market share. The segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The non-athletic footwear segment accounted for a more prominent share as compared to the athletic footwear segment. The functional footwear manufacturing in Mexico is focused in the city of Leon. Factories and workshops in Leon account for about 68% of all shoes made in Mexico. The two other important manufacturing areas for footwear are Guadalajara and Mexico City.

The apparel industry in Germany is the largest in Europe and is a prominent part of the global apparel industry. This is due to cutting-edge technology and competitive labor costs. Availability of raw materials and lower labor costs result in increased production of functional apparel in Germany.
