According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Air Slide Cloth market size was valued at US$ 146 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 194 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.2% during review period.
In 2025, global Air Slide Cloth reached approximately 34607.2 Tons, with an average global market price of around 4089.9 USD per Ton.
Air Slide Cloth are specialized industrial textiles designed to enable the fluidization and low-friction conveying of bulk powder and granular materials by allowing controlled airflow to pass through the fabric. When air is introduced beneath or behind the fabric, it permeates evenly through the material, creating a thin air layer that causes the bulk solid to behave like a fluid. This significantly reduces internal friction and allows materials to flow smoothly by gravity or minimal pressure.These fabrics are commonly used in airslide conveyors, aeration pads, bins, silos, hoppers, and discharge systems, especially for fine, dry, and free-flowing powders such as cement, fly ash, alumina, flour, and chemical powders. Manufactured from materials such as polyester, polyamide, polypropylene, aramid, or cotton, Air Slide Cloth are engineered for specific air permeability, strength, abrasion resistance, temperature tolerance, and chemical compatibility, ensuring reliable and energy-efficient bulk material handling.
The upstream raw materials for Air Slide Cloth mainly include polyester fiber, aramid fiber, etc., with typical suppliers including Indorama Ventures, Teijin, DuPont, Kolon, etc. Downstream applications are primarily in industries such as cement, chemicals, power generation, mining and metals, and food. The single-line capacity of Air Slide Cloth is directly related to the production line configuration, process type, product specifications, and operating efficiency. Typically, a single line has a daily capacity of approximately 10–20 tons, with a gross profit margin ranging from 20% to 40%.
Air Slide Cloth are specialized industrial textiles used to enable the smooth movement of fine, dry powders by introducing controlled airflow through the fabric surface. When installed in airslide conveyors, silos, hoppers, or discharge systems, these fabrics allow bulk materials such as cement, fly ash, minerals, and chemical powders to behave more like a fluid, reducing friction and enabling gravity-based or low-energy conveying. Although simple in appearance, Air Slide Cloth are critical functional components in many continuous-process industries, where stable powder flow directly affects productivity, safety, and operating efficiency.
The unique value of these fabrics lies in their ability to address long-standing bulk material handling pain points, including material arching, ratholing, inconsistent discharge, and excessive mechanical wear. By distributing air uniformly, fluidizing fabrics create a consistent aeration layer that minimizes contact between material and equipment surfaces, reducing blockages and lowering maintenance requirements. Compared with mechanical conveyors, airslide systems supported by these fabrics operate quietly, with fewer moving parts and lower energy demand, while offering predictable flow behavior. Their engineered permeability, abrasion resistance, and chemical and temperature compatibility allow them to be tailored to specific materials and process conditions, making them a practical and reliable solution in demanding industrial environments.
Industry demand for Air Slide Cloth is being driven by the continued expansion of bulk powder processing in construction materials, energy, chemicals, and minerals, as well as by the push for more efficient and cleaner material handling solutions. As plants seek to reduce downtime, dust emissions, and energy consumption, interest in low-maintenance, air-assisted conveying technologies continues to grow. Looking ahead, market potential is supported by infrastructure development, modernization of aging plants, and increased attention to process stability and sustainability. These trends position Air Slide Cloth as a small but indispensable component with steady replacement demand and long-term relevance across global powder-handling industries.
