While the global technical textiles market is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR, few challenges can restrain growth. High price of finished products has remained a longstanding challenge for end-users, and in price-sensitive markets, it can be a major impediment. Further, the technical textile market is highly fragmented with small and medium scale enterprises in Asia Pacific giving intense competition to European players.

The key trends anticipated to shape up the global technical textiles market include development of e-textiles and robust government support programmes to boost manufacturing of technical textiles. Further, investment in R&D to create advanced technical textiles is also expected to receive an impetus, especially in the U.S. and EU5.

By application, Hometech, Buildtech, and Meditech will remain the highest-selling technical textiles throughout the forecast period 2015-2020, with Homtech technical textile consumption anticipated to reach 6.43 million tonnes by 2020. By process type, non-wovens will continue to have a dominant edge over composites, owing to their versatility in medical and industrial applications.
