The current global functional textile market sales are US$50 billion per year, and the domestic demand for textiles is also around RMB 50 billion. It is reported that the functional textile market sales will grow by 3.8% per year in the future. New technologies and new products are constantly updated, and the market prospects are bright.
Functional textiles refer to textiles that, in addition to their own basic use value, also have antibacterial, anti-mite, anti-mildew, anti-virus, anti-mosquito, anti-moth, flame-retardant, anti-wrinkle, non-ironing, water- and oil-repellent, anti-ultraviolet, and anti-oxidation properties. One or more of the various effects of electromagnetic radiation, fragrance, magnetic therapy, infrared physiotherapy, negative ion health care, etc., can be used in military, industry, and all aspects of life. With the development of our country’s economy, people’s living standards continue to improve, and their lives are getting better. People’s demand for the functionality of textiles is increasing and their requirements are getting higher and higher.
Especially in recent years, environmental problems have become particularly acute. People’s functional requirements for masks are not limited to keeping warm, but are more inclined to professional masks with anti-haze functions. Professional anti-haze masks are often sold out.
At the same time, people’s gradual improvement in their own health requirements has also made antibacterial textiles more and more popular, and their types have become more diverse. From underwear to insoles, antibacterial properties permeate every corner of textiles.
Not only in life, but also in industry, with the enrichment of people’s cultural knowledge, safety and protective textiles are widely used in industrial fields. “Today, the hazards caused by static electricity are widespread and serious. For example, sparks generated by static electricity can easily explode with flammable and explosive gases or objects, causing losses to the country, corporate property, and people’s lives and properties.”
According to different use environments, protective textiles have functions such as anti-cut, anti-stab, bullet-proof, explosion-proof, fire-proof, dust-proof, biochemical and radiation-proof. Personnel working on high-voltage power towers must wear arc-proof suits, personnel working in certain areas of nuclear power plants must wear radiation-proof suits, personnel spraying pesticides and disinfectants must wear chemical pollution-proof overalls, and astronauts must wear spacesuits when walking in space. Firefighters need to wear fire-proof clothing, and even street cleaners need dust-proof clothing with warning signs. These protective equipment and clothing are widely used in petroleum, metallurgy, power generation, water conservancy, mining, shipping, firefighting, life-saving, etc. As the country attaches great importance to the safety of workers, the research and development of this type of textiles has become increasingly intensive.
“The emphasis on healthy life has led to the rapid rise of the functional textile industry, which has occupied an increasingly important position in the development of our country’s national economy.” Chen Mingqing said that the development of functional textiles abroad has been large-scale, especially among European and American people. The emphasis on health has led to the continuous expansion of the market for functional textiles. Although our country started late, the overall development momentum is strong and the market potential is huge.
