Global textile customization industry research shows that in 2025, demand for breathable fabrics in custom T-shirt market will increase by 45% YoY. Breathable polyester, cotton-polyester blends account for 62% of orders, becoming mainstream.
Guangdong Gahumi Textile Co., Ltd. (Gahumi), a 31-year textile OEM manufacturer, accurately predicted the trend, upgraded customization system, and became the first choice for multinational brand procurement.
The rise of breathable fabrics is inevitable due to upgraded consumer demand and expanded scenarios. Gahumi's market research director pointed out: "2B purchasers have shifted from 'only focusing on communication effect' to 'experience + communication' dual core. In outdoor promotions and tropical promotion scenarios, stuffy fabrics will directly reduce brand acceptance." Data shows that the wearing time of breathable T-shirts increases by 3 times, and the secondary communication rate rises by 58%.
A FMCG brand in Ghana, Africa, worried about stuffy fabrics during summer promotions. After Gahumi customized breathable polyester T-shirts, the products became "walking advertisements" on the street, increasing the promotion conversion rate by 22%. Trend adaptation capability is the core consideration for 2B procurement. As early as 2023, Gahumi established a library covering 8 categories of breathable fabrics such as polyester, cotton-polyester, and bamboo fiber, matching scenarios accurately: cool polyester for high-temperature outdoors, organic cotton for high-end events, and cost-effective cotton-polyester blends for bulk promotions.
On the production side, the fully automatic printing center optimized processes to solve the pain point of traditional printing blocking breathable pores. The breathability after printing still reaches more than 90% of the original fabric, meeting the dual requirements of purchasers for "clear printing + breathable and non-stuffy".
Successful cases confirm comprehensive strength. At the end of 2024, a European coffee chain purchased 100,000 custom T-shirts for summer outdoor promotions, with clear requirements of "breathable and non-stuffy, sun-resistant printing". Gahumi recommended cool polyester fabrics and adopted digital direct-injection printing technology to form a thin printing layer, ensuring bright logos and retaining breathable structure.
Tests showed the products remained dry after 2 hours of wearing at 35℃, and the customer immediately added 200,000 orders. A sports event in the Middle East was worried about adaptation to desert climate, and the custom breathable T-shirts customized by Gahumi were designated by the official as the core promotional clothing.
Gahumi has built a full-chain service of "fabric reserve-process adaptation-bulk delivery". All 3 production bases with a total area of 5,000 square meters are equipped with exclusive production lines for breathable fabrics. More than 300 professional employees have received special training to complete all processes efficiently. Million-level
custom T-shirt orders can be delivered within 30 days, and urgent orders can be expedited through multi-line allocation. "We provide full OEM/ODM services, from fabric selection to design optimization, helping purchasers quickly launch trend products," said the business director. For details, visit the official website
