Global Market Review of Technical Textiles in Apparel – Forecasts to 2011
just-style, March 2007, Pages: 55
Technical textiles is one of the fastest-growing and changing areas of the global textile and apparel industry. In fact, just-style predicts that global usage of technical fabrics for apparel will increase steadily over the next six years with market volume and value set to increase by 23% and 17% respectively. This increase will be due to the increasing market penetration of more technical fabrics, such as Kevlar and Nomex, into mainstream apparel either as a blend or as a stand alone garment.
This comprehensive report outlines the fundamental techniques and raw materials behind technical apparel, examines the growth areas and current areas of research, reviews some of the world leaders in the sector and provides market forecasts to 2011.
Chapter one asks 'what is a technical textile?' and offers definitions of the market and examples of technical fabric properties, aesthetic properties and functional properties.
Chapter two identifies global market trends, segmenting and analysing the technical apparel fabric market from 2001-2011. This includes fibre types and usage, advanced fibres and processes, yarn production, fabric construction and enhancement methods.
Chapter three looks at mainstream fashion apparel and the use/impact of technical fabrics. This refers to apparel that is available to purchase through conventional routes, e.g. retail outlets, mail-order and internet shopping. Performance textiles, intelligent textiles and smart fabrics, thermal control and environmentally responsive garments are amongst the topics discussed.
Chapter four provides a summary of research and development in the technical apparel industry, highlighting a number of themes and examples of development and innovation.
Chapter five profiles a number of the world's leading technical apparel fabric suppliers, namely: Klopman International; Milliken & Company; Du Pont de Nemours; Malden Mills Industries, Inc; W L Gore & Associates; Royal TenCate; The Toray Group; Schoeller Textil AG; Reliance Industries.
For the purpose of this report, a technical textile is defined as one where the physical properties and performance of the textile are more important than the aesthetics of the textile.
