Segment Analysis Preview

The global smart and interactive textiles market is segmented into supported materials types like passive smart materials, active smart materials, and ultra smart textiles. Additionally, passive smart materials can only sense the condition or stimuli. Active smart materials have the potential to sense also on react to conditions. Similarly, ultra-smart textile materials can sense, react, and adjust as per the conditions. On the idea of end-user, the worldwide market is segmented as medical, healthcare, military, aerospace, transportation, etc.

Development in newly crafted textiles has led innovators to create many smart textile applications like color-changing fabrics, fabric measuring liquid body substance composition, pulse and heart monitoring clothes, temperature sensing clothes, microphones in fabrics, cooling apparel, etc Initiated from an idea, smart textile has now clothed to be a business ideology resulting in the constant development of the products. Moreover, technological collaborations among companies have contributed to the expansion of the worldwide smart and interactive textile market. Due to the increasing trend of miniaturization and its wide application in the electronic industry, the automotive industry is additionally boosting the smart and interactive market. Application of smart textile in defense apparel to watch the health conditions of the soldier during warfare, which senses the heartbeat, skin temperature, and breathing rate, maybe a vital factor liable for the augmentation of the smart textiles market. However, the high price of the finished product may hamper the expansion of the worldwide smart and interactive textiles market.
