Drivers


The major drivers for the smart textile market are the growing demand for smart watches and wristbands, increase in growth rate of low-cost smart wireless sensor networks, the increasing demand for sophisticated gadgets with advanced functions, and miniaturization of electronic components. The demand for sports and fitness applications are expected to see a rise, which will further drive the demand for smart fabrics as they increase the comfort level for the user and eliminate the use of heavy equipment. Medical applications, which accounted for over XX% of global smart textile in 2015, will grow faster than the global average, which will further enhance the smart textile market. Smart fabrics can analyse physiological parameters such as temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. The problems concerning power supply are expected to drive the need for energy harvesting.


Restraints and Challenges


The major restraining factors for the growth of the smart textiles market are the slow rate of adoption and the lack of extensive standards and regulations. Compatibility issues and high-cost of production of these textiles are also some of the factors affecting the growth of this market. Smart textiles are highly complex and require high-end materials. Hence, the perfect cost-price balance has been difficult to achieve. Incompatibility issues among different types of smart textiles and electronic systems are also common, further making it difficult for the global smart textiles market to achieve a steady growth.


Opportunities


The advances in nanotechnology are expected to boost the overall smart textile market. Incorporating nanotechnology into fabrics helps to change or enhance the properties like fire resistance, electronic capability and monitoring. This textile has many applications in the health and military sectors. For example, lightweight uniforms that can detect the blood flow in the body, lightweight battle suits, uniforms that can change the color to match the surrounding, etc. Western European countries, the US, and Japan are investing in the R&D of nanomaterial-based smart textile.
