Recently, QYResearch published a report of < Global Smart Fabrics and Textiles Market Research Report 2017>.

Smart Fabrics and Textiles are fabrics that have been designed and manufactured to include technologies that provide the wearer with increased functionality.

The growth of smart fabrics technologies and applications is no longer a curiosity; it is the new reality of high-tech fabrics and its gaining ground at an impressive pace. The size of the smart fabrics market was $1.76 billion worldwide in 2017; it also realized an 18 percent growth rate, one has to be impressed with the potential apparent in this high tech end of the advanced textiles market.

North America is the largest supplier of Smart Textile, with a production market share nearly 53% and sales market share nearly 43% in 2016. That is to say, there will be imports in North America, while North America also is the largest consumption region.

Smart Textile is used in Military Uses, Civil Uses, and Healthcare Uses areas. Military/government is close behind with 21 percent; industrial and commercial applications claims 20 percent; sports and fitness has a 17 percent share. The reason transportation leads is largely due to the growth of inflatable seatbelts and heated seats in vehicles of all kinds.

The U.S. Military has been leading the way in high-tech materials that have now found their way into the consumer market with protective garments for sports and in physical monitoring. In the future, the military is looking for tents that have electricity and lighting built into the tent fabric and that incorporate photovoltaic technology for a solar power supply.

With new emphasis on health and safety issues in emerging countries, work wear for industrial and commercial environments will be strong. Smart fabrics can offer hands-free communication and provide additional safety features for police, firefighters, other first responders, as well as construction workers.
