The world of technical textiles is rapidly evolving, finding applications beyond conventional textiles. Industries like Agrotech, Buildtech, and more are thriving due to specific trends. Globally, different segments and key suppliers are assessed, while India's potential expansion hinges on skill development and infrastructure improvement.
The domestic technical textiles market is projected to reach ?2,00,823 crore by 2020-21. o keep up with the growth and focus on more environment-friendly fibres, textile companies are developing fibres out of recycled materials and natural sources for technical textiles. However, the use of textiles is considerably more diversified and hi-tech.
Now days many textile players prefer Pre Engineered Building (PEB) Systems - a complete package of low rise steel buildings manufactured and delivered to the site by a single supplier. The package comprises of rigid structural steel, cladding system and building accessories. Though the concept is simple, PEBs are extremely diversified in their usage and uniqueness in each design. The...
