Double-layer gauze fabric has become popular in the market

In recent years, with the increasing demands of consumers for health and environmental protection, a traditional craft fabric - double-layer gauze - has quietly become a new favorite in the fields of mother and baby products, home furnishings and clothing. Its breathability, softness and natural environmental friendliness are highly praised, and the sales of related products have continued to grow, becoming a new highlight in the textile industry.

What is double-layer gauze?

Double-layer gauze is a kind of cotton fabric made by the double-layer plain weave weaving process. It is formed by interweaving two layers of thin gauze, creating a natural air layer in the middle. Compared with ordinary cotton fabric, it has better breathability and moisture absorption and sweat-wicking properties. At the same time, due to its characteristic of becoming softer after multiple washes, it is hailed as "breathable fabric".

The market heat is on the rise, and baby and maternal products have become the main force

According to data from e-commerce platforms, the sales of double-layer gauze products increased by 40% year-on-year in 2023, among which baby covers, sleeping bags, saliva wipes and other maternal and infant products accounted for over 60%. Parents generally report that the double-layer gauze material is skin-friendly and non-irritating, effectively reducing problems such as eczema and heat rash in infants and young children.

"During the hot summer, the breathability of double-layer gauze is more comfortable than that of ordinary pure cotton, and in winter, it can keep warm and prevent sweating." " A mother and baby blogger shared on a social media platform. In addition, products such as gauze bath towels and postpartum care clothes are also highly sought after due to their features of quick drying and low susceptibility to bacterial growth.

Home furnishing and clothing brands are competing to enter the market

In addition to the mother and baby market, home furnishing brands also apply double-layer gauze to products such as bedding, cushions and curtains. The head of a well-known home textile enterprise said, "Consumers' demand for a 'natural sleeping environment' has driven us to launch a four-piece set of double-layer gauze. After its launch, the repurchase rate exceeded 25%."

In the field of clothing, double-layer gauze, due to its light weight and simple texture, is used to make summer shirts, dresses, pajamas, etc., and is especially favored by young people who pursue a minimalist lifestyle. Some designers also endow it with more personalized colors through plant dyeing techniques.

The environmental protection attribute is in line with the trend of sustainable development

The popularity of double-layer gauze is inseparable from the global attention to sustainable materials. Its raw materials are mostly natural organic cotton. During the production process, no chemical coating is required and it is biodegradable. An international environmental protection organization's report indicates that such natural textiles can reduce microplastic pollution and are in line with the concept of "low-carbon consumption".

Industry insiders predict that with technological upgrades, double-layer gauze may further expand into niche fields such as medical dressings and outdoor clothing in the future. However, experts also remind consumers to pay attention to identifying the materials and give priority to choosing high-quality products without fluorescent agents and with low yarn defects.

Conclusion

From traditional craftsmanship to the return to modern life scenarios, the popularity of double-layer gauze confirms the market's pursuit of the dual core of "health + environmental protection". The comeback of this niche fabric may bring more innovative inspirations to the textile industry.
