Our researchers studied the market research and market growth analysis data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
Technical textile testing is conducted to ensure the performance standard of textiles. The technical textile testing process involves a routine check of the textiles by testing samples of technical textiles through various standard procedures of quality control. A failure to meet the desired quality from sub-assemblies to final products will result in being classified as a poor-quality textile. As a result, each component at every stage of the manufacturing process is tested to ensure high-quality products. Therefore, the growing demand for technical testing is expected to propel the growth of the global market.
Moreover, the growth in the construction industry, especially the residential sector, plays a crucial role in triggering the demand for textiles. The construction sector in the US is showing significant growth, especially in the residential segment, which will drive the demand for technical textiles. The major demand for technical textiles is attributed to the use of protective gear by firefighters, military, or other types of law enforcement. Increased spending on technical textiles from various sectors drives the demand for textile machinery, thus driving the market during the projection period.
Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that feature electronics and interconnections woven into them. The e-textile market is expected to experience tremendous growth in the medical and healthcare sectors. This growth is likely to be driven by the rising demand for smart apparel and high-performance health monitoring equipment. E-textiles are used in the designing and manufacturing of sportswear for extreme sports, running, and skiing; artificial turfs and related products; sports footwear; parachute fabric; and sleeping bags. Further, government bodies and regulatory authorities are developing effective test methods for the evaluation of e-textiles.
For instance, in February 2019, the AATCC research committee RA111, Electronically Integrated Textiles, approved its first evaluation procedure and international standards for testing e-textiles. Such standards will act as guidelines for manufacturers of manufacturers to develop new equipment for the testing and evaluation of e-textiles, which will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Various dyeing agents are widely used in the textile industry for dyeing wool, cotton, silk, and other materials. However, they have been marked as hazardous compounds by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC classifies benzene-based chemicals as toxic for people. Benzene-based chemicals include benzidine-, o-toluidine, and o-dianisidine dyes, which have been categorized as cancer-causing chemicals for people as well as animals. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has also categorized them as dangerous.
Further, health issues include musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), hormonal deficiency, and skin irritations. MSD is the most common work-related health problem and includes disorders such as gradual deterioration of the musculoskeletal system, lower back pain, or acute trauma from cuts or fractures. The increasing health hazards from dyeing agents in the textile industry will, therefore, negatively impact the growth of the global textile industry, which will hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The textile companies segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period. Factors such as product innovation from textile manufacturers and the rising demand for textiles from several end-users will drive the growth of textile testing equipment in textile companies, as these companies have their own in-house testing facilities. Major players in the glass the largest global textile market are involved in product innovation to retain their market positions.

The textile companies were the largest segment and were valued at USD 870.49 million in 2018. Many breakthrough concepts and developments have led to the use of new materials and yielded improved products. For instance, Toray Industries Inc. is an organization that contributes by creating new value with innovative ideas, technologies, and products, with more than 500 textile patent applications every year. The focus segments of Toray are fibers and textiles; resins and chemicals; films; electronics and information-related products; carbon fiber composite materials; life sciences; and environment treatment. The company has its own Textile Test Center, which performs testing based on various standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC), primarily for quality evaluation of functional textiles. Such test centers of textile companies augment the demand which will drive the growth of the textile companies segment in the global market during the forecast period.
Based on the application, the market has been segmented into the apparel industry, footwear industry, and others. The apparel industry segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?With the growing importance of quality control and compliance in the textile industry, testing equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring that apparel meets the required standards and regulations. The apparel industry includes a wide range of instruments used to assess various parameters of textile materials as well as finished products. Additionally, stringent regulations and standards imposed by governments and industry organizations further emphasize the need for reliable equipment in the apparel industry. The apparel industry is a vital segment of the market. Various instruments are used to evaluate the properties of fabrics and garments, ensuring compliance with quality standards and regulations, which creates demand and, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

APAC is estimated to contribute 60% to the growth by 2028. Technavio's analysts have provided extensive insight into the market forecasting, detailing the regional trends and drivers influencing the market's trajectory throughout the forecast period. Countries such as China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are the leading manufacturers in APAC. Bangladesh and Vietnam import textile products from India in huge volumes so that these raw materials can be converted to finished goods, which are further exported to other countries. China, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Indonesia are the major investors from APAC. The market in China attracts many established global players to invest in textile machinery and equipment. For example, Testex is a prominent player in the market, which offers a comprehensive portfolio of testing equipment that covers various aspects like physical properties, colorfastness, flammability, and performance. This includes instruments for tensile strength testing, abrasion testing, bursting strength testing, and fabric flammability testing.
Additionally, such players are encouraged to expand their businesses in the country through exports, joint ventures, and by setting up manufacturing facilities. One of the primary reasons for China being a leading country for textile manufacturing is its extensive production capacity. However, the minimum monthly wages in the textile industry in China and India have increased significantly, which has resulted in these countries losing their competitive edge to other countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh. Such factors are expected to drive the regional market growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
