The Smart Fabrics in Fashion and Entertainment Market is expected to register a CAGR of 31.29% during the forecast period.

  • The ever-increasing use of electronic devices in our day-to-day life is driving the smart fabrics market. The ease of use of smart fabrics and the integration of electronic devices within textiles make it an integrated device to be used as a simple fabric, which is further contributing to the growth of the market.
  • For instance, a particular variety of smart fabric developed at the University of Washington is being used for jackets that can store invisible passcodes and open the doors to apartments or offices. Rapid developments in nanotechnology, polymer development, and low-power-consuming wireless sensors have transformed the market landscape.
  • The convergence of the internet of things, 3D printing, and nanotechnologies is creating enormous opportunities for the fashion and entertainment industry. With the increasing number of products integrating sensors to generate and respond to data and perform a range of various functions, the market is expected to grow further.
  • The high cost of implementation is restraining the market's growth as the business incurs huge initial investments, restraining many companies from tapping into the market.
  • Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the market suffered and could not experience substantial growth, as the manufacturing of smart fabrics requires a high degree of automation and advancements in textile processing techniques (such as electronic controlling system, computer-aided design, automated inspection, automated material handling devices, numerical control machine tool, statistical process control, production planning/inventory management software, and pick/place robots).
