The technical textiles market faces hindrances in the form of high raw material costs. But rising acceptance of geotextiles provides novel opportunities for Asia Pacific and Latin America. Key global market players make R&D investments to manufacture ‘varying grades’ of technical textiles. These grades are developed according to customer specifications & demand. This is also expected to propel the market in the seven years ahead.
Some of the technologies used to manufacture technical textiles include 3D knitting, 3D weaving, finishing treatments, and thermoforming. The remaining ones are nanotechnology, heat-set methods, hand-made methods, and others. 3D knitting and weaving are highly renowned. 3D weaving led the market in 2014, accounting for one-fourth of the overall volumes.
This technology is used to manufacture surgical implants, conveyor belts, spacer fabrics, and geotextiles. Nanotechnology should record about 4.2 % CAGR over the forecast period due to its use across various industries. Thermoforming is a form of ‘heat treatment’ used in the sectors of mobiltech, hometech, packtech, and indutech.
