Market Overview:
The global smart fabrics and interactive textiles market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into passive smart fabrics and textiles, active smart fabrics and textiles, ultra-smart fabrics and textiles. Active smart fabric has a microcontroller embedded within it which helps in performing various tasks as per requirement such as heating, cooling or lighting. Ultra-smart fabric has features such as self-healing properties, shape memory effect etc., which makes it more advantageous than other types of fabric available in the market. On the basis of application, military and protection accounted for maximum share in 2017 owing to increasing demand for protective clothing from armed forces across different countries worldwide.
Product Definition:
Smart fabrics and interactive textiles are fabrics that have been enhanced with technology to create a new type of fabric. This technology can allow the fabric to change color, light up, release scent, or perform some other function. The importance of smart fabrics and interactive textiles is that they can create a new way for people to interact with their environment. For example, by using interactive textiles in clothing, people could control the lights or music in their home just by moving around.
Passive Smart Fabrics and Textiles:
Passive smart fabrics and textiles are those that can sense the presence, proximity, position and movement of people or objects around them. They can also react to physical impacts such as collisions or sudden movements. These fabrics possess inherent intelligent capabilities without any need for external devices or control systems.
Active Smart Fabrics and Textiles:
Active smart fabrics and textiles are the ones which can sense the movement of human body through mechanical, thermal or electronic means. The most common way to implement active smart fabric is by using conductive fibers embedded in textile or fabric material. These conductive fibers can be made from carbon nanotubes, metallic wires or metal yarns. By sensing temperature, pressure or electric fields these fabrics react accordingly thereby providing enhanced comfort and protection against various environmental factors such as cold weather etc.
Application Insights:
The military and protection application segment led the market in 2017. The increasing use of fabrics with built-in electronics to provide enhanced safety and defense capabilities is expected to drive the demand for ISFAT over the forecast period. In addition, growing concerns regarding personal safety and security are likely to propel product demand in military applications over the coming years.
The fashion industry is anticipated to be one of the key adopters of ISFAT owing to its ability to react quickly, change colors, move around freely, and interact with other smart textiles present in a boutique or storeroom. Moreover, rising consumer preference for customized clothing through digital fabrication technologies is projected fuel market growth during the forecast period.
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 45% in 2017 owing to increasing product demand from countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Increasing investments by governments for infrastructural development are driving demand from applications such as healthcare and military & protection.
The growth of smart fabrics in Europe can be attributed to growing technological advancements coupled with government initiatives towards implementation of innovative technologies across various industries. For instance, research projects under the name “Smart Textiles†have been undertaken by EU funded institutes such as CELLEX project (2014-2020) that focuses on developing textile sensors capable of monitoring vital signs or body temperature among others.
North America is also expected to witness significant growth due to rising product demand from end-use industries including automotive.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smart fabrics from the automotive industry for use in airbags, seatbelts, and other safety equipment.
- Growing demand for smart fabrics in the medical sector for use in wound care, surgical gowns and drapes, and other medical applications.
- Increasing demand from the military sector for smart fabrics used in uniforms, tents, and other gear.
- Rising popularity of wearable technology that employs smart fabrics to provide enhanced comfort and functionality.
- Advances in textile manufacturing technologies that are making it easier to produce smarter fabrics at lower costs
