The global technical textile market was valued at $234.7 billion in 2017, and is projected to reach $335 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2018 to 2025.
A technical textile is a type of material, which is developed to meet the specified high-performance needs of a particular application. In addition to their aesthetic characteristics, technical textile products and materials possess enhanced mechanical, electrical, durable, thermal, and functional properties which makes them usable in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, industrial, medical and others.
The global technical textile market is witnessing significant growth, owing to extensive applications of technical textiles across various end-use industries such as agriculture, clothing, packaging & furnishing, automobiles, filtration, construction, and environmental protection.
The technical textile market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, due to rise in demand for technical textile products across many countries. In addition, in the emerging economies, majority of the consumption of the technical textiles will be through imports, while some countries have their own production facilities.
The growth of the global technical textile market is driven by increase in production of automobiles, rise in construction activities, and upsurge in demand from the healthcare sector. Moreover, the market is expected to experience considerable growth with government legislations mandating the use of geosynthetic textiles in various infrastructure development projects.
Furthermore, increase in urbanization & industrialization, rise in income levels, expansion of production base, growth in middle class population, and surge in aging population are the macroeconomic factors that boost the market growth. However, protection policies such as high tariffs limit the demand for technical textile products to be exported. In addition, with high cost of raw materials and finished products, the pricing structure is affected, and is likely to remain a key challenge for market participants. Conversely, the emergence of new technologies such as e-textile, increase in importance for geotextiles, and development of the manufacturing sector are expected to provide an ample of opportunities for the product manufacturers during the projected period.
