Smart and Interactive Textiles - a market survey
International Newsletters Ltd., Jan 2008, Pages: 60
A market survey to establish the true status of smart textile technologies, describe the current and future markets for products using these technologies, and determine what actions should be taken to help exploit attractive opportunities.
- Who has developed smart textiles technology and why?
- Which segments face significant technology roadblocks and/or the continuing problem of relating the incremental cost of the new technologies to the value of the derived benefit to the end-user?
- Why have developments by small companies failed to flourish?
- Which smart textile products have been successfully introduced and in which applications?
- Which segments have potential and where is this potential beginning to be realised?
- Where do attractive opportunities exist for companies to exploit this potential?
- Based on a report produced for NWTexnet, this new publication gives a concise overview of the status of these exciting technologies.
A market survey to establish the true status of smart textile technologies, describe the current and future markets for products using these technologies, determine what actions should be taken to help exploit attractive opportunities.
The developers of smart textiles technology have mostly been either US academic institutions, who have largely focused on the unique requirements of the US military, or electronics/chip companies.
Developments by small companies have failed to flourish through lack of funding.
Some segments still face significant technology roadblocks and/or the continuing problem of relating the incremental cost of the new technologies to the value of the derived benefit to the end-user.
However, several, lower profile smart textile products have been successfully introduced across a wide variety of applications in the medical, automotive and protective clothing fields. Overall there are many segments with considerable medium term volume potential and several show signs that this potential is beginning to be realised.
