Specific characteristics of the product such as high durability, adaptability, and superior performance make this
technology attracted by various textile manufacturers. These textiles owing to their superior properties over
traditional textiles are being used to provide special functions.
Increasing R&D investments by the industrial participant in the past few years have been the main factor in the
development of various novel products. As product demand have been seen increasing significantly in the past
few years the industry players have been seen taking serious steps to develop novel applications in accordance
with demand from the consumers. These trends are anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.
The versatility of technical textiles has made them applicable to various fields in the textile industry. High raw
material cost including both natural and manmade is anticipated to be a major challenge for industry
participants. The absence of sufficient skilled workforce globally for manufacturing of these products is expected
to be yet another factor to restraint the industry growth over the forecast period. The reinforcement of
embankments is presumed to offer sufficient opportunities for the industry participants over the forecast period
owing to the fact that it is global accepted. Emerging need of quality products and services in Latin America and
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness fast acceptance of these products across various industries.

Technology Insights
Apart from natural fibers such as cotton and jute artificially developed fibers, filaments and yarns are some
prominent raw material used in the manufacturing of technical textiles. Technologies such as 3D knitting,
thermoforming, 3D weaving, heat-set methods, finishing treatments, nanotechnology, hand-made methods,
and others are the leading manufacturing technologies in the present scenario. Thermoforming, 3D knitting,
and 3D weaving are the mainly used methods towing to better quality in the end product. Nanotechnology being
the new process in developing technical textiles are expected to witness higher acceptability over the forecast
period.
Textiles thermoforming is a heat treatment process that is used to mold composites that contain fabric layers.
Indutech, Mobiltech, Hometech and Packtech, segments majorly use this technology. Products such as conveyor
belts, spacer fabrics, surgical implants geotextiles, and webbings are manufactured using 3D weaving process.
The heat-set process is a thermal process which is carried out either in moist or dry heat atmosphere. Three-
dimensional knitting technology can give an accurate measurement. It results with minimum requirements for
cutting the final product and is used to manufacture complete garments. The innovation of this technology led
to the minimization of post labor work, with more efficiency regarding time and productivity.
