The Government of India is looking forward to mandate the use of technical textiles in certain industries like mining and manufacturing operations. They are also implementing strategies to encourage local manufacturing of technical textile products. Rising awareness about various benefits of technical textiles and introduction of modern technologies to boost production rate is positively influencing growth.Demand for geo-tech textiles is increasing, owing to the rising incidence of soil erosion and demand for sustainable solutions for water treatment & soil erosion protection. Considering their application in the manufacturing of surgical hosiery, caps, beddings, sheets, pillow cover and uniforms, the demand for technical textiles is surging at an accelerated pace in the country.Future ExpectationsIndia is working on major initiatives to boost its technical textiles industry. Owing to the pandemic, the demand for the technical textiles in the form of PPE suits and equipment is on rise. Although, there is a huge potential to fulfill a large demand gap as the consumption of technical textiles in India is still only at 5-10 percent against 30-70 percent in some of the advanced countries like China, Japan and others. The Government is also supporting the sector through funding and machinery sponsoring. The Indian technical textiles industry is on the threshold of the tidal wave of growth. The country has all the ingredients to emerge as a powerhouse of technical textiles for both commodity as well as high-end products. The momentum which has been building-up in the recent years is expected to accelerate and would catapult India into the league of major technical textile producers within next five years.
