Nanotechnology for Textile Markets

The market for smart textiles is set to explode according to Cientifica’s latest research. “Nanotechnologies for the Textile Market” provides the most in depth look to date at the impact of nanotechnology on the global textile industry 

While the traditional markets of apparel and home textiles continue to be impacted by nanotechnologies, especially in adding value through finishing and coating, the major opportunities for both textile manufacturers and nanomaterial suppliers lie elsewhere. 

“Nanotechnologies for the Textile Market” takes an in depth look at the major textile markets – apparel, home, military, medical, sports, technical and smart textiles – detailing the key applications of nanotechnologies and the major players. The 255 page report contains full market analyses and predictions for each sector to 2022, outlines the key opportunities and is illustrated with 98 figures and 30 tables. 

Cientifica predicts that the highest growth over the next decade will be seen in the areas of smart and technical textiles. In both of these areas a significant part of the added value is due to the innovative use of nanotechnologies, whether in fiber production or as a coating or additive. 

With over a billion Bluetooth enabled devices on the market, ranging from smartphones to set top boxes, and new technologies such as energy scavenging or piezoelectric energy generation being made possible by the use of nanotechnologies , there are opportunities for the textile industry in new markets ranging from consumer electronics to medical diagnostics.

‘It’s a perfect storm” added Tim Harper, “the availability of new materials such as graphene, the huge leaps being made in organic electronics, and the move towards the Internet of Things is blurring the divide between textiles and electronic devices. When two trillion dollar markets collide there will be lots of disruption and plenty of opportunities.”

Fermentation Chemicals Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 - 2018
By - Transparency Market Research
Fermentation is natural process in which microorganisms breakdown the carbohydrates into alcohol or an acid. These carbohydrates can be starch or sugar. Fermentation chemicals are the chemicals produced out of fermentation process and act as direct agents to initiate the desired process. There are several processes where fermentation chemicals are the base for raw material breakdown or a part of process initiators. Manufacturing of alcohol, cheese, breads, biogas and acids are some of the main industrial applications.Fermentation chemicals market has a huge potential to...

There has been an increase in the disposable income in many countries across the globe. Also, the desire of each individual to maintain a youthful appearance has risen. This demand has led to the developments of unique products which can neither be classified as cosmetics or pharmaceuticals thus giving rise to the market. The Cosmeceuticals industry does not have a lot of regulations, which has facilitated the entry of new players into the market. The developed countries whose major population comprises of aged individuals are the major markets for Cosmeceuticals globally....
Bioplastics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2012 - 2018
By - Transparency Market Research
Bioplastics are a type of plastic manufactured from biomass sources such as vegetable oils and certain starches and are also called biobased plastic or biodegradable plastic. They are commonly used for insulation, as a packaging material, and in crockery and food packaging. Since bioplastics are plant based products, the consumption of petroleum for the production of plastic is expected to decrease by 10-15 percent by 2018. The bioplastic industry has high potential for growth if the focus is not just the replacement of current plastic applications but innovation of newer...
