The Global Smart Textile Manufacturing System Market was valued at USD 470 million in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% to reach USD 867.2 million by 2034. This market growth is fueled by technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, and an increasing demand for performance-driven and sustainable textiles. Modern consumers are now looking for clothing that offers more than just aesthetic appeal, but also functional features such as thermal regulation, activity tracking, UV protection, and biometric monitoring, often through integrated sensors. This shift is driving the demand for advanced materials and electronics embedded into fabrics.
Technological innovations, including the use of nanotechnology, flexible electronics, conductive fibers, and the Internet of Things (IoT), are enabling the seamless integration of smart features into textiles without compromising comfort or design. Additionally, the growing interest in wearable technology and medical textiles, such as smart garments for remote health monitoring, is gaining significant traction due to increasing health and safety concerns. Support from governments and research institutions, along with funding, research partnerships, and policies promoting Industry 4.0 adoption, is further accelerating the market's growth.
In 2024, the electronic-based smart textiles segment generated USD 195.7 million in revenue and is projected to reach USD 373.8 million by 2034. These smart fabrics integrate sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers to offer features like real-time data collection and performance monitoring. Their practical applications span healthcare, sportswear, military uniforms, and consumer electronics, making them highly sought after. Electronic-based textiles excel over other technologies, such as nanotech or hybrid systems, due to their reliability, ease of integration, and faster deployment.
In 2024, the healthcare and medical segment dominated the market with a 32.1% share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% through 2034. The healthcare industry benefits from smart textiles' ability to noninvasively monitor biometrics like heart rate, respiration, body temperature, and posture. These textiles are particularly valuable in elderly care, chronic illness management, and remote health monitoring. Partnerships between textile companies, healthcare providers, and tech firms are further driving innovation in this area, ultimately improving patient care while reducing healthcare costs.
