10、aterials and products manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional properties, rather than aesthetic and decorative characteristics. Technical textiles are high-performance textiles with special functionalities used in various industries, including automotive, personal care,
11、 hygiene, agriculture, home care, construction, aerospace, protective gear, healthcare, and others. The wide applicability of technical textiles is a major factor fueling the market growth. According to a report from Data Bridge Market Research, the global technical textiles market is projected to r
12、each USD $220.37 Billion by 2022, an estimated 5.89% growth from 2017. Growing awareness of the superior functionality and application of technical textiles leads to higher consumption of these and related products. Growth in the automobile, construction, healthcare, packaging, and other sectors has
13、 generated new opportunities for the technical textiles sector. Increased penetration of technical textiles in these industries is the key driving factor boosting the sectors market growth. Also driving growth is the fact that technical textiles have wide applicability across multiple industry segme
14、nts. Technical textiles have various applications in crop protection, automotive applications, safety components, healthcare, protective clothing, and more, and the technical textiles market is currently expanding in various industries such as packaging, sports, and protective wear. 4 | P a g e Merg
15、ers and acquisitions, expansions and investments, agreements and partnerships, and new product launches are some of the major strategies adopted by the key players operating in the global technical textiles market. Market Segmentation The global technical textiles market is divided into four segment
16、s by process, material, application, and technology. 1. By Process The sub-segments or technical textiles in this category are: Knitted, Nonwoven, Woven, and Other. Nonwovens are used for various purposes such as covers, carry bags, thermal insulation, ballistic protection, fireproof layers, etc. Th
17、ese materials are usually manufactured with polypropylene, which provides properties such as strength, elasticity, and thermal insulation. The increase in technology and incorporation of polypropylene is fueling the demand for nonwoven fabrics in industries such as automotive, construction, chemical
18、s, and garments. Growing demand for polypropylene in nonwovens is anticipated to propel the overall growth of the technical textiles market. Based on process, the woven segment is expected to be the fastest growing in coming years, mainly due to factors such as ease of production and low cost. Woven
19、 textiles have wide applications in various sectors such as construction, clothing, automobiles, and others. It is expected that with the growing demand for technical textiles in these industries, the demand for the woven segment will also increase. 2. By Material the market is segmented by: Regener
20、ated fiber - rayon and acetate; Mineral - asbestos, glass, and ceramic fiber; Synthetic polymer, natural fiber, metal, high performance fiber and others - polyethersulfone, polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene, polyester, and others. Natural - cotton, wool, silk, sisal, flax, and others. High performanc
21、e fiber - aramid, carbon, UMHW polyethylene, and others 3. By Application the market is divided into twelve segments: Geotech - agro-based geotextiles and geosynthetics. Oekotech (echotech) - use of technical textiles in environmental engineering and landfill waste management (geosynthetic products
22、to secure landfills against leakage of municipal or hazardous waste); secondary protection in chemical/oil industries (ground covers and around process tanks as secondary containment for tank leaks). Mobiltech - technical textiles used in automobiles, aircraft, railways, and shipbuilding, such as ny
23、lon tire cord fabrics, seat cover fabric/upholstery, seat belts, cabin filters, tufted carpet, helmets, insulation felts, automotive interior carpets, sunvisors / sunblinds, headliners, airbags, seat belt webbing, car body covers, airline disposables, aircraft webbings, and others. The automotive se
24、ctor has been improving its existing market share and creating innovative products through new developments, consequently increasing the demand for technical textiles. The applications of technical textiles in the automotive sector are expected to grow the most and to drive the market for technical
25、textiles in the future. Indutech - industrial brushes, paper making fabrics, filtration products, computer printer ribbon, printed circuit boards, composites, ropes spinning, weaving, knitting, finishing, nanotechnology, and others. Technical Textiles Trends and Innovation Futuristic technical texti
26、les used in planes, cars, and firefighters uniforms may seem a world away from everyday apparel, but theres plenty of opportunity for crossover. More science than art, technical textiles can be anything from innovative components for sneakers to the carbon fiber reinforced plastics that make up abou
27、t a fifth of an average airliner. Over the past decade, wearable technology has become increasingly commercially viable. Garments used by medical specialists can check body temperature, humidity (and therefore liquid spillage), heart rate, and respiratory activity. This kind of communication is bein
28、g enabled by a new generation of materials, tags, and transmitters, such as steel filaments that can be sewn or woven directly into a fabric like any other thread. They can be used to conduct heat and to transmit data. Technical textile manufacturers are manufacturing garments that incorporate heati
29、ng, lighting, and communications properties, and taking them mainstream. Heated outfits, such as ski jackets, come with more features, for example, a smartphone app that allows the wearer to set a desired temperature. Manufacturers of technical textiles are also making advances in environmental sust
30、ainability. There are cotton color dyes that use far less water and textile blends optimized for biodegradability. More attention is being paid to end-of-product-lifecycle treatments, waste-water recovery, and reconstitution of textiles, including polyesters. Innovative ingredients are being introdu
31、ced, such as cork for making yarns and fungi/mushrooms and other plants used to dye yarn at the cellular level. What Can the U.S. Commercial Service Do for You?

Nonwoven and Technical Textiles in Brazil The market has been growing considerably due to a variety of factors, including the modernization of local industries and technical development in the textiles sector. These factors have
41、improved Brazilian access to export markets. There are currently about 822 companies in Brazil manufacturing nonwoven and technical textiles. Over the next few years, most of these will have to make significant adjustments in order to face new competitive pressures and a changing marketplace. In par
42、ticular, there is a trend for Brazilian local manufacturers to become more specialized in order to face inexpensive, good quality Asian imports. This factor may present U.S. exporters of equipment with interesting opportunities. In particular, many of these Brazilian firms are increasingly seeking t
43、o form joint ventures or enter into technical agreements with foreign companies. Most of this investment will be in new technologies. The exportation of state-of-the-art technologies and new nonwoven and technical textile products represents an excellent opportunity for U.S. firms. According to the
44、Brazilian Industry Association of Nonwoven and Technical Textiles (ABINT), the Brazilian market for this sector generated more than US$ 3 billion in revenue last year. Sales volumes have increased an average of 4% per year since 2013, and the expectation is a 6.6% increase per year until 2020. ABINT
45、 estimates that 71% of all nonwovens and technical textile sales in South America are consumed in Brazil. 8 | P a g e 2. Market Entry and Barriers According to end-users, the most important competitive factors in supplying equipment to this sector are: Price. Sales terms / financing. Quality. After
46、sale technical assistance 3. Current Market Trends and Demand Brazilian companies import both raw materials and equipment related to nonwovens and technical textile manufacturing.
