Market Overview:
The global passive and active smart fabrics and textiles market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period, 2018-2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for smart fabrics and textiles in military, healthcare, and other applications. In terms of type, the active smart fabrics and textiles segment is expected to witness higher growth as compared to the passive smart fabrics and textiles segment during the forecast period. This can be attributed to technological advancements in activesmart fabric technologies that offer enhanced performance over traditional materials.
Product Definition:
Passive fabrics are those that do not have any type of electrical connection or circuitry. They are generally made of natural materials, such as cotton, wool and silk. Active fabrics, on the other hand, contain some type of electrical connection or circuitry that allows them to interact with their surroundings. This can include things like sensors that detect movement or heat, as well as actuators that can change the fabric's properties in response to external stimuli. The importance of passive and active smart fabrics and textiles lies in their ability to enhance traditional clothing and fabric-based applications with enhanced functionality. For example, active smart fabrics could be used in sportswear to monitor a person's heart rate or body temperature during exercise.
Passive Smart Fabrics and Textiles:
Passive smart fabrics and textiles are the ones which can sense the movement of human body through magnetic, electrochemical or electronic means. These fabrics and textiles have special properties such as self-healing, self-repairing, anti-bacterial or odor eliminating etc. The global passive smart fabrics & textile market size was valued at USD 985 million in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period.
Active Smart Fabrics and Textiles:
Active smart fabrics and textiles are the ones which can sense the movement of human body around it and react accordingly. For instance, a jacket or gown made up of soft material could trap heat from an individual’s body and keep it warm in winter or cool in summer. The technology is used to make sportswear that can track a player’s performance during games. It also finds application in protective clothing for firefighters, military wear, industrial workwear etc.
Application Insights:
The military application segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2016 and is projected to continue leading over the forecast period. The increasing use of these fabrics and textiles in defense applications such as bulletproof vests, protective headgears, ballistic shields, bodyarmour is expected to drive their demand over the forecast period.
Ultra-smart fabrics are used for manufacturing surgical masks that protect against airborne diseases such as influenza virus and other particles. These masks are used by healthcare professionals during surgeries or when patients have severe allergies to other types of face coversings such as surgical masks made from natural rubber or latex which can cause anaphylactic shock. Increasing research & development activities related to passive smart fabrics coupled with growing adoption of ultra-smart fabric across various end-use industries including healthcare is expected fuel market growth over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a revenue share of more than 35% in 2017 owing to increasing product demand from various application sectors, such as military, healthcare, and others. Increasing population coupled with rising consumer disposable income levels has led to an increase in per capita spending on luxury products including clothing and accessories. This is expected to drive product demand from countries like China, India, Japan among others over the next eight years.
North America emerged as one of the major consumers due to high investments by governments for developing smart fabrics & textiles applications across numerous end-use industries such as defense & security; transportation; building & construction; electronics; etc.). Moreover North America has a large number of textile manufacturing companies that are adopting advanced technologies resulting into increased adoption rates of passive/active smart fabrics/textiles across various applications regions worldwide (i) (U).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for comfortable and stylish clothing: The global market for passive and active smart fabrics and textiles is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 9% during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing demand for comfortable and stylish clothing among consumers across the globe.
- Rising awareness about health benefits associated with using smart fabrics: There is a growing awareness among consumers about the health benefits associated with using smart fabrics, which is expected to drive the growth of this market in the coming years. Some of these benefits include improved blood circulation, reduced stress levels, and better body temperature regulation.
- Growing popularity of sports apparel: The popularity of sports apparel is another key factor that is expected to drive growth in this market during the forecast period. Smart fabrics are increasingly being used in sportswear as they offer various advantages such as breathability, moisture management, stretchability, etc., which help improve performance while exercising or playing any sport.
