The global technical textile market is witnessing significant growth, owing to extensive applications of technical textiles across various end-use industries such as agriculture, clothing, packaging & furnishing, automobiles, filtration, construction, and environmental protection.
The technical textile market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, due to rise in demand for technical textile products across many countries. In addition, in the emerging economies, majority of the consumption of the technical textiles will be through imports, while some countries have their own production facilities.
The growth of the global technical textile market is driven by increase in production of automobiles, rise in construction activities, and upsurge in demand from the healthcare sector. Moreover, the market is expected to experience considerable growth with government legislations mandating the use of geosynthetic textiles in various infrastructure development projects.
Furthermore, increase in urbanization & industrialization, rise in income levels, expansion of production base, growth in middle class population, and surge in aging population are the macroeconomic factors that boost the market growth. However, protection policies such as high tariffs limit the demand for technical textile products to be exported. In addition, with high cost of raw materials and finished products, the pricing structure is affected, and is likely to remain a key challenge for market participants. Conversely, the emergence of new technologies such as e-textile, increase in importance for geotextiles, and development of the manufacturing sector are expected to provide an ample of opportunities for the product manufacturers during the projected period.

What is the estimated value of the Global Technical Textile Market?
What is the growth rate of the Global Technical Textile Market?
What is the forecasted size of the Global Technical Textile Market?
Technical textiles are the materials, which are used for non-aesthetic purposes such as industrial protection, construction, and others. They find their application across various end-use industries such as construction, industrial, automotive, and others. The global demand for various technical textile products has increased continuously as a result of their expanding applications in various end-use industries. Majority of the demand for technical textile comes from end-use industries such as construction, sports, environmental protection, aerospace, automotive, protective clothing, and healthcare.
The growth of the global technical textile market is majorly driven by increase in product demand from automotive, construction, and geological end-use industries. Moreover, increase in awareness of industrial safety, rise in environmental awareness, and advances in medical technology are further expected to fuel the growth of this market. However, high cost of raw materials and increase in toxic waste generation during the product manufacturing restrain the market growth. Conversely, with the use of nonwoven textiles, pollution can be controlled to a great extent.
Based on type, the market is segmented into woven, nonwoven, and others (weaving, knitting, and braiding). Among all the types, the nonwoven technical textiles segment accounted for over a share of over 35% in 2017 and is anticipated to generate the highest revenue during the forecast period.
By material, the market is categorized into uniform material and composite materials. The composite materials segment is predicted to have a dominant share of over 55% in 2025
Depending on end-use application, the market is fragmented into AgroTech, BuildTech, HomeTech, InduTech, SportTech, PackTech, MobilTech, MediTech, ClothTech, GeoTech, ProTech, and OekoTech. MobilTech end-use application segments share is predicted to reach up to 20% by the end of 2025
Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific accounted for nearly 25% of the revenue in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% in the near future. Europe garnered a dominant position, with a share of nearly 26% in 2017.
