The e-textiles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The primary factors driving growth in the forecast period include rising demand for comfortable and fashionable clothing, a growing geriatric population, expansion of the automotive industry, increasing demand in healthcare applications, and the rising prevalence of e-textile-based gaming. Key trends expected in the forecast period are smart fabrics with embedded sensors, energy harvesting textiles, conductive yarns for data transmission, integration of washable electronics, wireless charging capabilities, and biometric monitoring fabrics.

The growing automotive industry is anticipated to drive the expansion of the e-textiles market in the future. This industry involves the design, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles and their components. Growth in the automotive sector is fueled by rising consumer demand for personal mobility, with urbanization and changing lifestyles increasing the need for flexible and efficient transportation solutions. E-textiles contribute to the automotive industry by embedding smart fabrics into vehicle interiors, enhancing comfort and safety. They provide features like temperature control, biometric monitoring, and interactive controls, improving both the driving experience and vehicle functionality. For example, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based trade organization, 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced globally in 2022, marking a 5.7% increase from 2021. Hence, the expanding automotive industry is propelling the growth of the e-textiles market.

Leading companies in the e-textiles market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions such as wearable technology to boost user comfort and experience. Wearable solutions are smart garments or accessories embedded with electronic technology designed to monitor, track, or enhance the user’s health, activity, or comfort. For instance, in January 2023, Sensoria Health, a US-based wearable tech company, launched a wearable tele-rehabilitation platform. This advanced healthcare system combines wearable technology with remote monitoring to support physical therapy and rehabilitation outside clinical environments. Data is transmitted via mobile applications and cloud platforms, enabling clinicians to track progress, modify treatments, and provide feedback remotely. This approach improves patient outcomes, increases convenience, and reduces healthcare costs by offering continuous, data-driven care.

In October 2023, Japan Aviation Electronics Industry Ltd., a Japanese electronics and connector manufacturing company, collaborated with Xenoma Inc. to integrate solutions for their customers. This partnership aims to transform the smart textile industry by providing high-reliability, washable connectors that support practical and safe wearable technology applications. Xenoma Inc., based in Japan, specializes in smart apparel within the e-textiles sector.

E-textiles, or electronic textiles, are sophisticated fabrics embedded with digital components such as sensors, actuators, and conductive fibers, allowing electronic functions within clothing or other fabric-based items. Their main goal is to merge the flexibility and comfort of textiles with electronic capabilities, supporting uses like health monitoring, wearable technology, and interactive apparel.

The primary type of e-textiles includes classical electronic devices and modern electronic devices. Classical electronic devices in e-textiles consist of traditional electronic components like wires, batteries, and sensors physically attached to fabrics. The range of technologies encompasses thermostatic e-textiles, energy harvesting e-textiles, sensing e-textiles, and luminescent e-textiles, which enable diverse applications classified as passive and active. The end-user markets for e-textiles cover military and defense, architecture, sports and fitness, transportation, and more.
