The global smart textile market is growing rapidly, witnessing significant demand from the military defense, sports, and, more importantly, the healthcare industry. Smart garment/textile is specially designed for defense applications with multispectral camouflage in both static and moving positions. It helps soldiers in CBR threats monitoring by detecting the presence of hazardous agents, such as H2S, NO2, Cl2, and provides warnings accordingly.
Initially designed for militaries, smart textiles soon found usages in sport and healthcare due to its multifunctional prototype. Flame retardancy, water dirt repellence, and anti-mosquito solutions qualities, that smart textile demonstrates, soon attracted the sports community. But what drawn healthcare towards smart textile is the capability to measure vital body signs and control microbe transmission and body temperature.
Smart textile measures body vital signs — pulse rate, heart rate, and also communicates info via an app in the Smartphone through the embedded system. The smart textile can regulate body temperature by cooling and heating through monitoring of the ambient temperature. Smart garment can sense and measure deformations in the fabric, employing conductive ink and waterproof circuitry, which also makes it washable smart textile.
Resultantly, the smart textile industry is garnering tremendous traction worldwide. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global smart textile market is poised to grow at an impressive CAGR during the anticipated period (2020–2030). Smart textile’s remote monitoring capabilities are proving to be valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing caregivers to stay engaged with and care for their patients remotely.
