Technical Textiles in the World.






Technical textile is the term given to textile products manufactured for non aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion.

This is a large and growing sector and supports a vast array of other industries.

Technical textiles include textile structures for autmotive applications, medical textiles (e.g. implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of enbankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop protection), protective clothing (e.g. against heat and radiation for fire figther clothing, against molten metals for welders, stab protection and bulletproof vests), spacesuits (astraunats).

Textiles used for industrial purposes are commonly known as ‘technical textiles’. Technical products are textile products manufactured mainly for their performance and functional properties rather than decorative purposes. Technical textiles can be classified into many fields, such as medical textiles, geotextiles, protective clothing, agro textiles etc.

Over all growth rates of Technical Textiles in the world are about 4.0% per year greater than the growth of home and apparel textiles i.e. at the rate of 1% per year.

In present market opportunities and in free quota system the importance for technical textile materials is increasing to accommodate the needs of requirement. Nowadays the most widely technical textile materials are used in filter clothing, furniture, hygiene medicals and construction material.
