The textile business is not only seeing textiles used in clothes, but is also maintaining a strong focus on technical textiles, which are textiles used in non-clothing applications. The uniqueness and challenge of Technical Textiles lay in the requirement to comprehend and apply the fundamentals of textile science and technology to provide solutions, mostly to the most pressing technological issues but frequently also to engineering issues as well. Textiles used in construction include those for sun protection, soundproofing, insulation, air conditioning, façade foundation systems, interior construction, and sun reinforcement for reinforced concrete. architectural membranes, floor and wall coverings, scaffolding nets, awnings and canopies, signs, HDPE tarpaulins, and more.
Agro textiles are textiles that are utilised in agriculture. nets for finishing work, crop covers, mulch mats, shade nets, and others that provide protection from hail and birds. A special focus has been placed on unconventional technical applications, such as the use of Technical Textiles in the agriculture and horticulture sectors to increase the quality and efficiency of agriculture and food products in order to ensure a healthy environment, social-economic equity, and a successful economy. This is due to the growing awareness of the environment and the specific knowledge of the various interdisciplinary technologies. The use of materials that deteriorate gradually is becoming more popular (biodegradables).
According to the projections of a business intelligence report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global technical textiles market will be worth US$160.38 billion by the end of 2018, with the demand incrementing at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period of 2012 to 2018.

As the entry barriers are fairly low and raw materials easily available, regional and domestic players are able to compete forcefully with the major players.
Some of the these players are Ahlstrom Corporation, DuPont, Berry Plastics, Freudenberg & Co. KG, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Polymer Group Inc., TWE Group, and Fiberweb PLC.The ecosystem of the technical textiles market also includes stockholders who are involved in the supply chain of raw materials, R activities, and finally manufacturing.
Major players are also able to market their products via their financial might, and maintain a stronger distribution network to stay ahead of the curve.Asia Pacific Providing Most Prominent Volume of DemandBased on end users, the market for technical textiles has been segmented into Buildtech, Indutech, Sportech, Agrotech, Mobiltech, Meditech, Clothtech, Hometech, Packtech, Protech, and others including Geotech and Oekotech.
Technology-wise, the TMR report bifurcates the technical textiles market into thermoforming, 3D knitting, 3D weaving, heat-set synthetics, fabrics produced using nanotechnology, finishing treatments, hand-made including stitch or applique, and others.
