The textile industry is varied, which means that many countries choose their own path and direction to follow, whether that is medical textiles or high fashion.
However, there are a few trends that seem to be the new direction for most of the textile market.
Technology - Technical textiles are a large and growing market right now. Countries are rehabilitating mills and buildings and hiring new staff to work on new innovations like 3D printed clothing and shoes or smart fabrics with small chips that act as conductors and energy converters.
Non-Woven Fabrics - New machinery has made it possible to pursue non-woven fabrics. Non-wovens are non-yarn materials that are pressed together rather than woven. The reason this is an advantage is the labor is less intensive and the product can be made quicker and for less money. Non-woven fabrics are also very hygienic, which is great for the medical field, a large part of the textile industry.
Domestic Sales - Countries like China and the Unites States are focusing not only internationally, but domestically as well. Creating products domestically, and marketing to local communities, is creating a new and larger market for countries that are normally internationally focused.
Environmental Sustainability - The environment has become a large issue in the textile industry due to the immense use of water, the air pollution, and waste concerns. Many countries have started to really focus on green textiles. Some of the new innovations are making clothing out of used coffee grounds, algae, or spoiled milk. These new textiles are unique and are gaining popularity in the market.
