Global Wetsuit Market [By Type (Steamers, Shorties, Others); By Application (Scuba Diving, Surfing, Triathlon, Others)], and Geography - Trend, Analysis and Forecast, 2017-2026

Report Summary

The global wetsuit market is estimated to gain traction due to increasing awareness about water sports worldwide. Wetsuits are made using closed-cell neoprene with large uniform bubbles. The neoprene used for wetsuits is lined with fabric and sprays for addition of strength and color. The thickness of wetsuit ranges between 1 mm to 9 mm, with 3 mm used for warm water, 5 mm for temperate water and 7 mm for cold water. Wetsuits are made from multiple layers to trap and reflect heat. Some wetsuits are also lined with titanium or copper for reflection of body heat back inside. Wetsuits are worn underwater to protect the body from the cooling effect of water and cuts & scrapes. Upon wearing a wetsuit, the body rapidly heats the thin layer of water that gets in while providing insulation from the cool surrounding water. Wetsuits are used for water sports activities such as scuba diving, and surfing.
