Ltd., Nanotex LLC, Singtex Industrial Co. Ltd., and Nike Inc. The scarcity of raw material and labour in the cooling fabrics industry has led to an increase in retail prices lowering the demand for these apparel. Retailers limited the order of garments that required scarce raw material, as they had to pay a higher price. For example, in India, the low availability of cotton due to low water availability, high incidence of pest attacks, and inadequate southwest monsoon compelled the retailers to increase the prices of cotton apparel as they had to pay a higher price to the manufacturers for procurement. This increase in prices affected the demand for cotton, which in turn impacted the natural cooling fabric manufacturing market. Major firms in the cooling fabrics industry are focused on developing technologically advanced solutions for cooling fabrics. For instance, in December 2020, Brrr, a cooling fabric innovator, launched the Brrr Pro, an innovative performance textile with improved cooling fibres loaded with micro cooling minerals, as well as hyper wicking and quality drying, all of which operate together to enhance the triple chill effect for optimal comfort and a unique experience.
