Based on material, the mineral segment is anticipated to capture the third largest market share in the technical textiles market in 2024, driven by its distinct characteristics, including thermal resistance, fire retardancy, dimensional stability, and exceptional insulation capabilities. These attributes render mineral-based textiles ideal for high-performance ass industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and in industrial manufacturing. Materials derived from minerals, including fiberglass, basalt, and ceramic fibers, are extensively employed in insulation, filtration, and reinforcement applications, particularly in environments subjected to elevated temperatures and harsh conditions. The increasing demand for lightweight and durable composite materials-especially in sectors prioritizing energy efficiency and structural integrity-has further propelled the adoption of mineral textiles. As industries increasingly emphasize safety, durability, and sustainability, the significance of mineral materials in the technical textiles segment continues to rise. Based on process, the knitted segment is projected to secure the third-largest share in the technical textiles market. This is attributed to its inherent flexibility, stretchability, and adaptability to complex shapes, making it highly suitable for a range of functional applications. Knitted fabrics exhibit exceptional comfort, breathability, and mechanical performance, rendering them ideal for various sectors, including medical textiles (such as compression garments and bandages), sportswear, automotive interiors, and protective clothing. Their capacity to conform to body contours and accommodate dynamic movements significantly enhances user comfort and performance, particularly in wearable technology and biomedical applications. Get Customization on this Report: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestCustomizationNew.asp?utm=even&id=1074 Based on application, in 2024, SporTech emerged as the third-largest segment in the technical textiles market, driven by a surge in global demand for high-performance, durable, and comfortable sportswear and equipment. As consumers increasingly prioritize health and wellness, the popularity of fitness, outdoor sports, and recreational activities has led to a significant rise in the requirement for advanced textile solutions within the sports sector. Technical textiles utilized in SporTech are engineered to deliver key performance attributes, including moisture management, elasticity, breathability, UV protection, and antimicrobial properties, all of which enhance athletic performance and user comfort. These textiles find extensive applications in manufacturing sports gear, footwear, parachutes, tents, and artificial turf, thereby broadening their scope of use. Moreover, continuous advancements in textile engineering, alongside the integration of smart textiles, have further propelled the growth of this segment, positioning SporTech as a critical and rapidly evolving component of the technical textiles industry. Based on region, the technical textiles market in North America is experiencing steady growth, positioning the region as the third-largest market share holder in 2024.
