In recent years, with the deepening implementation of the national "Dual Carbon" strategy and the continuous intensification of green building, energy conservation, and emission reduction policies, traditional HVAC systems are accelerating their evolution toward high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and intelligence. Against this backdrop, fiber textile ducts, leveraging their advantages of lightweight construction, energy efficiency, easy installation, and high customizability, are gradually becoming a crucial alternative to traditional metal ducts, propelling the entire industry into a period of high-speed growth.
According to multiple industry reports released in early 2026, the Chinese fiber textile duct market has seen a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 22% over the past three years, with double-digit growth expected to continue between 2025 and 2030. This high market prosperity is driven not only by macro-level policy incentives but also by the continuous expansion of downstream application scenarios. From commercial complexes and cold chain logistics centers to electronic cleanrooms, hospital operating rooms, and new energy vehicle battery plants, fiber textile ducts meet the stringent requirements of various industries for temperature and humidity control, cleanliness, and energy efficiency management through their superior airflow organization capabilities, low wind resistance characteristics, and customizable designs.
Taking industry leader Jiangsu Buna Technology as an example, the company has established a comprehensive product matrix covering thermal insulation, internal support, flexible, and rubber-plastic composite fiber textile ducts through continuous technological innovation. For instance, their insulated ducts utilize a high-density insulation layer, reducing heat loss by over 30%. The internal support structure allows a single duct span of over 12 meters, controlling the deformation rate within 3%, effectively solving the challenge of long-distance air supply. In a specific new energy vehicle battery plant project, Buna Technology precisely controlled the workshop temperature fluctuation within ±0.5℃ by linking the intelligent temperature control module with air volume regulating valves, assisting the client in obtaining LEED Gold certification. These successful cases not only verify the technical reliability of the products but also significantly enhance market awareness and acceptance of fiber textile ducts.
From a cost-benefit perspective, fiber textile ducts also offer long-term advantages. Weighing only 1/5 to 1/3 of traditional metal ducts, they significantly reduce transportation and hoisting costs. Installation efficiency is improved by over 50%, and labor costs can be saved by up to 40%. More importantly, the smooth surface and uniform pore design ensure even air distribution, keeping indoor temperature differences within ±1℃ and reducing system operating energy consumption by 15%–25% compared to traditional solutions. Third-party calculations indicate that if a 100,000-square-meter commercial complex adopts fiber textile ducts, it can reduce carbon emissions by approximately 120 tons over its lifecycle, equivalent to the environmental benefit of planting 6,000 trees.
Furthermore, the eco-friendly attributes of fiber textile ducts align with the current development trend of green building materials. Mainstream products use recyclable polyester fiber as the base material, ensuring a pollution-free production process free of heavy metals. Some companies have begun exploring the application of bio-based and biodegradable materials. Jiangsu Buna Technology plans to launch a new generation of ducts with a lower carbon footprint across their entire lifecycle within the next three years, further responding to the "Dual Carbon" goals.
Looking ahead, with the integration of BIM (Building Information Modeling), the Internet of Things, and intelligent sensing technologies, fiber textile ducts are advancing toward a new stage of intelligence. Built-in sensors can monitor wind speed, temperature, and humidity in real-time, dynamically adjusting the air conditioning system to achieve demand-based air supply and predictive maintenance. This not only enhances system efficiency but also provides data support for smart buildings.
In conclusion, the fiber textile duct market is currently in a golden development period driven by a triple engine of policy dividends, technological iteration, and demand upgrading. At a time when green and low-carbon development has become a global consensus, this niche sector not only represents the future direction of ventilation systems but also serves as a vital microcosm of the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry.
