E-Textile Market By Type (Classic Electronics, Modern Electronics), By Product (Passive, Active, Ultra-Smart), By Application (Defense, Sports & Fitness, Healthcare, Household Textiles, Fashion & Entertainment, Transport, Protection & Military, Architecture, Others), By Functionality (Sensing, Energy Harvesting, Luminescence & Aesthetics, Thermoelectricity, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global e-textile market was valued at $367.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $721.8 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2022 to 2031. A cloth that can conduct electricity is known as an electronic textile. It can detect changes in its environment and react by emitting light, music, or radio waves if integrated with electronic components. Textiles with electronics and connections woven into them are referred to as electronic textiles (e-textiles). As a result of being woven into the fabric, components and interconnections are far less obvious and, more crucially, less likely to become entangled or caught in the environment. A textile substrate that includes capabilities for sensing (biometric or external), communication (typically wireless), power transmission, and interconnection technology to enable sensors or objects like information processing devices to be networked together within a fabric is referred to as an electronic textile. Small amounts of computation can take place on the body thanks to electronic textiles. In order to facilitate electrical conductivity, they typically include conductive yarns that are either spun or twisted and contain a small amount of conductive material (such as silver or stainless steel strands).
Surge in population and rise in income levels present numerous opportunities for market expansion. Moreover, the development of the textile industry and rise in demand for high-quality textile prints are anticipated to boost the overall market growth. In addition, rapid shift toward digital textile printing is driven by acceleration in production speeds and reduction in coloration costs. Increase in investments in R&D for new digital textile printing technologies is further expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market. However, toxic hazards related to the inks used in e-textile are expected to hamper the overall growth of the market.
The e-textile is expected to register the highest growth, owing to rise in per capita disposable income and surge in consumer preference toward new & easier ways of high-quality printing. Furthermore, rapid urbanization and upsurge in advertising through apparels & garments are expected to boost the market growth.
The demand for printed fabrics is on an increase, owing to rapid changes in fashion trends and longer print life. Moreover, rise in demand for efficient and cost-effective textile printing methods is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for players operating in the global e-textile market. The global e-textile market is expected to witness increased demand during the forecast period, due to rapid increase in demand for clothing and households across the region, which is expected to surge the growth of the e-textile market throughout the forecast period.
Various methods of textile printing, such as direct print, discharge print, pigment print, resist print, and specialty print, have evolved to cater to the increasing demand for e-textile market. With the development of dye sublimation printer, it is possible to print with low-energy sublimation inks and high-energy disperse inks directly onto textile media by the heat press process. Moreover, increase in investments on R&D activities to develop novel methods of digital textile printing and rise in per capita disposable income, especially in the developing economies, such as India, Russia, and Poland are anticipated to accelerate the demand for digital textile printing technology during the forecast period.
The increase in innovation in the field of developing various inks, dyes, and additives to improve the efficiency and automation of the textile printing machine coupled with increase in awareness among the people regarding the advantages of the digital textile printers on the environment, fashion designers, and retailers are the major factors that provide opportunities for the growth of the e-textile market during the forecast period.
Factors such as surge in raw material costs along with high equipment costs of wet-post treatment and harmful environmental impact of digital textile printing are some of the key challenges expected to hamper the sales of global e-textile market during the forecast period.
