Smart textiles for military refer to specialty fabrics that incorporate electronic components and technology that provides additional functionalities to soldiers beyond the traditional textile properties. They have integrated electronic components, such as sensors, microphone and cameras, to enhance their functionality and provide enhanced safety. These fabrics or materials are characterized by enhanced durability, flexibility and light weight. In addition, these textiles can have additional features, such as communication capabilities, and protection against external agents. The inbuilt sensors and cameras used in smart clothes provide communication between soldiers or between soldiers and command centers, monitor the wearer's vital signs and physical activity, and alert them if dangerous elements are nearby.
Smart textiles for military also provide several advantages, such as the effective streamlining of various military functions simultaneously, saving time and resources, and increased soldier mobility due to the integration of multiple functionalities into a single piece of clothing or equipment.
Military Smart Textiles Market Overview
The Global Smart Textiles for Military Market Size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2022 to 2030. The market is segmented by type, application, and region. By type, the market is divided into passive smart textiles, active smart textiles, and ultra-smart textiles. Passive smart textiles are those that do not require any power or input for their operation and include materials such as conductive yarns and fabrics that can sense environmental conditions. Active smart textiles are those that require some form of power or input in order to function properly and include materials such as sensors, actuators, microprocessors, etc., which can interact with the environment autonomously or through human interaction. Ultra-smart textiles are a newer category of textile technology that combines features of both passive and active Smart Textile technologies into a single product offering enhanced functionality over traditional textile products.
