The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Smart Textiles Market Report by Type (Passive Smart Textile, Active Smart Textile), Functionality (Sensing, Energy Harvesting, Luminescence and Aesthetics, Thermoelectricity, and Others), End-Use Sector (Military and Protection, Healthcare, Sports and Fitness, Fashion and Entertainment, Transportation, Architecture, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” finds that the global smart textiles market reached a value of USD 4.9 Billion in 2024. Smart textiles refer to materials that are integrated with technologies to provide the wearer with increased functionality. The fabrics are embedded with conductive threads, electronic components, and advanced technologies. They make use of components such as lights, batteries, sensors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and hands-free computing devices. Smart textiles sense and react to environmental conditions and stimuli from thermal, mechanical, chemical, and magnetic sources. They are increasingly gaining popularity due to their ability to reduce wind resistance, regulate body temperature, adjust the breathability of the fabric, and control muscle vibration according to environmental changes. As a result, smart textiles find applications across the military and defense, healthcare, transportation, entertainment, sports and fitness, and automotive sectors.
Global Smart Textiles Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the rising miniaturization of electronics as smart textiles offer enhanced comfort to users. They are also used to communicate the information of the wearer, including physiological parameters like location, heart rate, perspiration, blood pressure, and temperature. In addition to this, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) with textiles has enabled defect detection, pattern inspection, and color matching, which is fueling the market growth. Furthermore, increasing research and development (R&D) activities and the launch of innovative product variants are also creating a positive market outlook. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach a value of USD 28.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 20.4% during the forecast period (2025-2033).
