Showerproof fabric is fabric that resists water. You could pour a glass of water over it and watch the liquid simply form beads and run off. However, for a garment to be completely waterproof it must have its seams specially sealed on the inside and a protected zip, so that rain cannot get inside at all. Waterproof fabrics are fabrics that are inherently, or have been treated to become, resistant to penetration by water and wetting. The term "waterproof" refers to conformance to a governing specification and specific conditions of a laboratory test method. Treatment could be either of the fabric during manufacture or of completed products after manufacture, for instance by a waterproofing spray. Examples include the rubberized fabric used in Mackintosh jackets, sauna suits and inflatable boats. Waterproof breathable fabrics are designed for use in garments that provide protection from the weather that is from wind, rain and loss of body heat. Clothing that provides protection from the weather has been used for thousands of years.

The global waterproof breathable textiles market size was estimated at INR 1260.29 Crores in 2019 and is expected to register a revenue-based CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. Rising product adoption in the sports apparel manufacturing industry owing to its lightweight, and durable properties are expected to positively impact market growth. Growing awareness regarding fitness is favorably impacting the sports apparel industry, thereby boosting the demand for waterproof breathable textiles. Growing popularity of outdoor sports along with an increasing preference for comfortable and stylish sportswear and weather protection apparels are expected to positively influence the market.

Waterproof breathable textiles are witnessing a growing utilization in the manufacturing and design of uniforms and protective gear for military and law enforcement agencies. WBT exhibit a superior permeability to perspiration vapors and prevent rain and snow from getting in. Additionally, waterproof breathable textiles are extremely lightweight as compared to the traditional alternatives, thereby considerably reducing the weight of the uniform. There has been a considerable increase in demand for environmentally sustainable apparel.
