The expanding automotive industry is anticipated to support the growth of the e-textiles market in the coming years. The automotive industry includes the development, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of motor vehicles along with associated components. Growth in this industry is driven by rising consumer demand for personal mobility, as urbanization and evolving lifestyles increase the need for flexible and efficient transportation solutions. E-textiles contribute to the automotive sector by incorporating smart fabrics into vehicle interiors, enhancing comfort, safety, and overall functionality. These materials enable features such as thermal management, biometric sensing, and interactive interfaces, thereby improving the driving experience. For example, in March 2025, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), a Belgium-based automobile association, global car sales totaled 74.6 million units in 2024, representing a 2.5% increase compared to 2023. As a result, the growth of the automotive industry is contributing to the expansion 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.
