Smart Textile Market

Global Smart Textile Market is valued at USD 2.64 Billion in 2018 and expected to reach USD 20.09 Billion by 2025 with the CAGR of 33.6% over the forecast period.

Scope of the Report:

Smart Textile are textiles that are able to sense and responds as per changes in their environment. Originally, textiles were made from natural animal or plant-based fibers. Later, the synthetic fibers were manufactured in laboratories which were stronger and more versatile. Last few years have witnessed the use of digital communications technology in textiles. The technology has reached the point where thin fibers which run through your smartphone and transmit data and can be woven into cloth textiles termed as smart textiles. Smart Textiles are divided into two classes such as passive and active smart textiles. According to their uses these Smart textiles are manufactured for medical, transportation, energy, protection, security communication and textile electronics.

Smart Textile Market is segmented into function and end user industry. On the basis of function the market is segmented into Energy harvesting, Sensing, Thermoelectricity, Luminescent and Others. On the basis of end user industry the market is segmented into Healthcare, Military and defense, Entertainment, Automotive and Sport and fitness.

This repost consist of regional segmentation with type, technology, material and application.

Smart textile, or smart fabrics, is fabrics that enable digital mechanisms such as a battery and a light including small computers and electronics to be embedded in them. Smart textile is fabrics that have been developed new technologies that provide added features to the wearer. Aesthetic examples contain fabrics that light up and fabrics that can change color. Some of these fabrics collect energy from the environment by harnessing vibrations, sound or heat, reacting to these inputs. The color changing and lighting scheme can also work by implanting the fabric with electronics that can power it.

Increase in standard of living, rising incomes, awareness of safety and environmentalism, advances in medical technology, expanding automotive sectors, and increased spending on healthcare factor drive the market growth.

The increasing adoption of smart textile across numerous applications, including sports & fitness and defense & military are expected to be the key driving force for the industry. Increasing research and development in the smart textile market along with the rising demand in emerging economies such as India and China are acting as major opportunities in the global Smart textile market. However, high price of production is restraining the growth of the market. The emergence of nanotechnology and its growing demand in smart textile industry provides opportunities to the producers of smart textile.
