The technical textiles industry research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The mobiltech segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
Technical textiles play a pivotal role in various industries, with the automotive sector accounting for approximately 20% of global usage. These textiles, also known as mobiltech or mobiltex, go beyond traditional isolation and safety applications in vehicles. They focus on enhancing comfort and style. Four key trends shape the mobiltech textiles market: 1. Water repellent finishes: With increasing demand for durable and weather-resistant materials, water repellent finishes are gaining popularity. These finishes help protect against rain, snow, and other elements, ensuring vehicle interiors remain dry and comfortable. 2. Geotextile applications: Geotextiles, a type of technical textile, are used extensively in civil engineering projects for soil reinforcement and filtration.
In the automotive industry, they are employed for road construction and vehicle underbody protection. 3. Fiber tensile strength: High-performance fibers with superior tensile strength are essential for producing durable and robust textiles. This property is crucial for applications such as protective apparel and ballistic fabrics. 4. Dye sublimation printing: This printing technique allows for the transfer of ink directly onto textiles without the need for water or heat. It is widely used in the production of wearable technology fabrics and smart textile sensors. Moreover, other trends include fiber breathability, fabric weight, smart textile sensors, fabric elongation, antimicrobial textiles, moisture management, fiber composition, colorfastness rating, flame retardant textiles, UV protection fabrics, high-tenacity yarns, heat transfer printing, knit structures, thread count, stain resistant finish, fiber density, drape properties, textile durability, fabric hand feel, yarn count, tear strength testing, and nonwoven materials.
The mobiltech textiles market is expected to grow significantly, with an estimated 15% increase in demand for water repellent finishes and a 12% rise in the adoption of geotextiles. Additionally, the use of fiber tensile strength in protective apparel and ballistic fabrics is projected to surge by 18%, and dye sublimation printing is anticipated to grow by 10% in the coming years.
The Mobiltech segment was valued at USD 47.70 billion in 2018 and showed a gradual increase during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 54% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
