Technical textiles are advanced textiles known for their excellent
functional properties and technical performance. An exciting multidisciplinary
field with exhaustive applications in various industries, technical textiles
is poised to witness strong growth. Supported by superior performance
attributes, applications of technical textiles are far reaching,
ranging from simple use in agriculture, furnishing, packaging and clothing
to the more complicated filtration, construction, medical, automotive, and
environmental protection applications. Robust growth in construction and
infrastructure projects, increasing automobile production, and rising demand
from the healthcare sector, represent key factors driving growth in the market.
Growth prospects also emerge from government regulations mandating the use of
technical textiles such as geosynthetics in all infrastructure development
projects. Rising income levels, rapid urbanization, strong industrialization,
expanding manufacturing base, growing middle class population, and aging
population are other macro factors that bode well for the growth of technical
textiles. Continuous research and development, as a result of increased focus
of manufacturers and researchers alike in bringing innovative products to the
market, is poised to propel growth in the future. Advanced technological
breakthroughs in textile technologies used in medical applications have expanded
the application scope from simple wound-dressing products to sophisticated
products used in surgeries and diagnostics. Nanotechnology is an emerging
production technology for technical textiles. Driven by strong research and
development, nanotechnology is expected to overtake current knitting, weaving and
thermoforming technologies. Another major trend positively impacting the
market is the migration of production technologies towards technical textiles,
given the increased margin of returns on investments. As stated by the new
market research report on Technical Textiles, Asia-Pacific represents the
largest as well as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 6.9% over the
analysis period. Strong demand from manufacturing, industrial, automotive and
construction sectors; steady economic growth; favorable government policies;
and numerous infrastructure development projects in the pipeline are factors
spurring growth in the region. Mobile Textiles represents the largest market
segment, while Construction Textiles is witnessing the fastest growth with a
CAGR of 6.1% over the review period. Major players in the market include 3M,
