The evolution of technology transversally integrates the human sciences, materials and information technology, and allows to predict positive perceptions in the approach towards development of new products and expand scope of applications of the product in the market. Its main feature is to offer high-tech and performance-efficient fabrics designed not just to look attractive, but also to offer a noteworthy value addition in terms of functionality. Technical textiles in industrial products are also associated with electrical components and cables, flexible seals and diaphragms, and acoustic and thermal insulation for other domestic appliances. It is a promising sector with extreme growth potential and is successful in supporting diversified industries. These are also largely used for the purpose of ecology and environment protection.
Increasing applications of geotextiles in road construction, sports sector, and transportation is one of the factors that has propelled growth of the global technical textile market. Demand for these textiles is increasing from sports and active wear sectors, owing to the use of antimicrobial finishes for producing such products. Textile chemicals help prevent bacterial infection and odor caused by the sweat trapped in clothing such as socks, undergarments, T-shirts, and other sports apparels. The products are predominantly used in the construction industry in order to retain the structure of the roads, pipelines, embankments, and among other applications. Moreover, improvement in technology taking place in various countries across the globe is further expected to drive growth of the global technical textile market.
Government of India has allowed up to 100% FDI under automatic route for the technical textiles section to enable higher integration of technology into manufacturing processes and finished products. Thus, global manufacturers of technical textiles products will be able to set up manufacturing units in India, either alone or through partnerships with Indian industries.
