It will grow from $4.13 billion in 2025 to $5.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing textile production volumes, rising demand for improved textile product quality, growing complexity of textile manufacturing processes, increasing production waste, and rising demand for manufacturing efficiency.

The artificial intelligence (AI) in textile market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17.65 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for real-time production optimization, rising need for automated textile quality inspection, growing demand for accurate demand forecasting, increasing adoption of intelligent textile design solutions, and rising need for predictive maintenance of textile machinery. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for personalized textile products, rising adoption of digital textile printing, growing demand for faster textile product development cycles, increasing emphasis on textile product traceability, and rising demand for customized textile production.

The increasing adoption of smart manufacturing practices is expected to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in textile market in the coming years. Smart manufacturing practices refer to the use of connected digital technologies, automation, real-time data analytics, and intelligent systems to improve production efficiency, product quality, and operational performance across manufacturing facilities. The adoption of smart manufacturing practices is increasing due to advancements in digital technologies, which facilitate automation, real-time monitoring, and data-driven decision-making. Smart manufacturing practices integrate digital technologies, automation, and real-time data to support AI implementation in the textile industry, enabling process optimization, quality improvement, predictive maintenance, and efficient decision-making. For instance, in March 2024, according to Rockwell Automation, a U.S.-based industrial automation company, 95% of manufacturers were using or evaluating smart manufacturing technology in 2024, compared with 84% in 2023, representing an increase of 11 percentage points. Therefore, the increasing adoption of smart manufacturing practices is driving the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in textile market.

Major companies operating in the artificial intelligence (AI) in textile market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as AI-powered hyperspectral textile recognition systems, to improve material identification, automate sorting processes, and support efficient textile recycling. AI-powered hyperspectral textile recognition systems combine hyperspectral imaging with artificial intelligence algorithms to accurately identify textile fibers, blended materials, and contaminants by analyzing their unique spectral signatures, enabling precise real-time material classification beyond the capabilities of conventional vision systems. For instance, in April 2026, Specim, a Finland-based hyperspectral imaging solutions company, launched RETEX, an AI-powered hyperspectral textile recognition solution designed for automated textile material identification and separation. The solution combines hyperspectral cameras with AI-based classification software to identify fibers such as cotton, polyester, polyamide, viscose, wool, and acrylic, while also detecting blends, elastane, impurities, and colors in real time. RETEX supports scalable textile processing by enabling automated material separation, improving sorting accuracy, and enhancing recycling efficiency in industrial textile processing environments.

In March 2023, Smartex.AI S.A., a Portugal-based technology company, acquired Tuvis AI for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Smartex.AI S.A. aimed to strengthen its global engineering capabilities, expand its presence in the Turkish textile market, and enhance its AI-powered textile quality control platform by integrating Tuvis AI’s deep learning expertise while establishing a new engineering technology center in Istanbul. Tuvis AI is a Türkiye-based artificial intelligence technology company specializing in providing AI solutions for textile use cases.
