Smart clothes, also referred to as smart textiles and e-textiles, are clothing items that use technology to add features and functions beyond that of the traditional use. Technologists are using a combination of sensors, machine learning, and big data analysis to provide consumers more data about their bodies and lives than ever before. The growth of the market has been substantiated due to the rising demand for the product by professional athletes and sports teams for preventing injuries and rapid urbanization. The smart clothing is growing in the sport and health sector and is being increasingly implemented in everyday objects due to growing awareness for fitness coupled with the demand for monitoring body activities. It represents the next generation of clothes with value-added functionality like tracking an individual’s biometrics, response to environmental changes, and more. These clothes unlike other smart wearables (smartwatches) do not require charging. Thus, companies are shifting their focus towards developing smart clothes instead of focusing only on smartwatches and smart bands. Similarly, the increasing investment in military & defense helps in providing wound detection, protection against injuries and health and stress monitoring. However, high-cost, lack of awareness among various segments of the population, and the threat to data privacy are the various challenges faced by the market which is hindering the growth.
