Simple yet high-on technology
Conductive textiles are fabrics that can conduct electricity. Browse complete summary of this report came together to launch wearable antennas, a product designed using conductive textiles, for tactical, military and commercial uses.gminsights. The major players operating in the conductive textiles market size are Parker Chomerics, Seiren Company Limited, Nanophase Technologies Corporation, Buhler, Toray Industries Incorporated, Holland Shielding Systems, 3M, Swift Textile Metalizing and Laird PLC. In general, it is classified into two types, first, textiles which are intrinsically conductive and second, which are treated to gain conductivity, for example by metallization. The product is already being used in various industrial application fields for controlling electromagnetic and static interference shielding due to its flexibility and ability to be used in existing wire machinery (knitting, weaving and braiding) and textiles. The demand for wearable conductive textiles, which are robust as well as comfortable, is rising in military and defense applications such as for use in uniforms and other supporting jackets and garments. For instance, Vorbeck Materials FR Tent Fabric Manufacturers Corporation and Bluewater Defense Inc. Moreover, India is investing heavily in its military operations and promoting the sports & fitness programs across the country, which will further push the regional conductive textiles market size over the forecast timespan. Asia Pacific is upcoming due to the rising product demand in South Korea, Japan, China and India. In 2015, North America and Europe were the major conductive textiles market share contributors owing to the technological advancements and innovative solutions in healthcare and fitness sector. Increased health awareness among consumers, rising disposable income in developing economies and intent to use modern methods for fitness and healthcare, there is a huge demand for products that are simple yet high-on technology, which will subsequently boost the conductive textiles market size in the forecast period.
