United Kingdom Technical Textiles Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Market Report I 2025-06-06 I 103 Pages I EMR Inc.

The United Kingdom technical textiles market size reached approximately USD 836.39 Million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.20% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 1526.35 Million by 2034.

Technical textiles are designed to meet certain functional requirements or have specific properties such as high strength, fire resistance, and electromagnetic shielding. They are not designed for aesthetic or decorative purposes, rather their application lies in their design capabilities and functionality. They are useful for manufacturing protective clothing for sportspersons and military personnel and find application in a wide range of industries.

The market is being driven by an increase in demand for artificial healthcare devices, ballistic protection armour for the military, and higher use of regenerative fibres in the production of technical textiles. The United Kingdom technical textiles market expansion is being driven by the rising use of high-performing sports fabrics and advanced home tech technical textile products' popularity.

Key Trends and Developments

Sustainable sourcing of raw materials; use of 3D technologies; integration of AI into technical textile manufacturing; and the development of smart textiles are the major trends impacting the market growth.

June 12th 2023

Baltex launched Bourellet, a jersey knit material which has excellent breathable properties and a soft and luxurious feel on the skin.

June 6th 2023

Baltex introduced the high-speed Karl Mayer knitting machine at its Ilkeston manufacturing site in Derbyshire, England to enhance fabric production for the medical, furnishing, and safety equipment industries.

Apr. 25th 2023

University of Cambridge researchers manufactured a 50X50 cm test patch of smart textiles incorporated with transistors and other fibre devices.

July 18th 2022

UK-based Hypetex attracted an investment of 1.25 million pounds for making coloured carbon fibre, which can be used to make consumer electronics products, and aerospace equipment, among other commodities.

Sustainable sourcing of raw materials

To meet the growing consumer demand, many textile companies are shifting towards using regenerative fibres for making functional clothes.

Use of 3D technologies to drive market innovation

Many companies are experimenting with new forms and constructions of technical textiles via 3D technologies. This is expected to drive the United Kingdom technical textiles market.

Integration of AI into technical textile manufacturing

AI tools are used to detect visual flaws and creases in clothing materials. With the help of data analytics processes, gaining valuable insight into customer behaviour can become simpler.

Development of smart textiles driving market progress

Textiles integrated with IoT devices that track human health and provide information about body temperature and blood pressure are likely to impact the market growth.

United Kingdom Technical Textiles Market Trends

Through an automated laser welding process, electronic devices can be inlaid into fabrics with the help of an electrically conductive adhesive. Weaving smart textiles on a large scale can become a reality by coating the fabric with materials possessing high tensile strength. This can lead to United Kingdom technical textiles market growth as it can be cheaper and sustainable alternative to manufacturing smart clothing in microelectronic fabrication facilities.

Many industrial machine manufacturers and technical textile manufacturers utilise 3D woven composites due to their flexible and diverse nature. Such composites are used for making fabrics that facilitate ballistic protection and in components of marine/ aquatic infrastructure. They are also used to make vascular prosthetics and other artificial healthcare devices.
